[kingpin75]

thinking about getting one of these. any thoughts?

Very reliable and relatively inexpensive. Not the best for concealed carry due to the weight, but can be a very good first gun or used for home defense. Good choice in the right circumstances.

wouldn't be my first gun, but i like the price. hopefully better than the s&w sw40ve

 

[Dwhizzle74]

Not to sure about the p95 but I had a p89 and I gotta say that it was the best firing gun I've owned I really don't see why people put ruger down there cheap accurate and fairly easy to maintain if the price is right get it

Welcome to the group!



I have an early P95 and can't be happier. Remembering it is a full size pistol, it isn't the easiest carry, but mine has been 100% reliable and fairly accurate in my hands with eyes that are showing their age.

I can highly recommend it!

Will probably last a few lifetimes ,Its been said that they are built like a tank & are pretty hefty but very reliable.Id take a Ruger P series over the S&W Sigma series

Like already stated built like a tank and very reliable, a little on the large and heavy side for some for EDC, but not impossible. P95 was my first handgun and I still have it to this day. Nice handguns in my opinion

Cant go wrong with P series Rugers! I loved my P90. A bit too heavy for carry purposes but great for a nightstand gun.

I picked up a bitone P95 at Elmore's for $335 just this week. Took it to MCFG yesterday and killed a lot of paper. The gun is a bit bulky and with a full magazine a bit heavy but it shoot very well, accurate and comfortable with the big grip and wieght there in not a real recoil issue. While it is a lot larger than the PF9 I was using for edc I like it a lot better and will continue to carry it at least for a while.
I don't believe after this short test drive that you could get a better pistol for the money.

cool,thanks for the info guys, for 300, i guess i can't go wrong!

I just got one last week from Bradis and I'm loving it. I went with a buddy who bought a glock 19. Needless to say he spent quite a bit more but after going to mcfg we were shot for shot. The p95 has a lot less recoil than the glock and about the same size. The p95 is wider and a bit heavier but I like that, it feels solid. I've put 150 rounds through it and after the first 100 my groups really started to tighten up. I've used winchester bulk and blazers and had not one failure. I think for the money it is a great choice.

I have2 a p97 stainless in .45. Got it new for 359 some 5or6 yrs ago. Its definitely one of the smoothest guns I've fired. Very little recoil,like others have said the the thing is heavy as hell. +1 here

 

[OS3-USN]

A P95 is my EDC. I love this gun. It is a bit bulky, but if you aren't petite it shouldn't be a problem. I've shot about 1000 rounds through it and never had a problem.

Had my 97 forever. Had a small issue with it, sent it back to Ruger, who were wonderful, and they fixed it for free of course. It's a nice 45 to have.

I've got around 750 rounds through my p95. At around 500 it wouldn't extract the round. Ruger was great paid for the shipping/fixed it for free and had it back to before they promised. Can't the Sherman....a p95.

It is my "keeper" - would never part with it.
