Ruger P95

[newtothis]

Im sure there are several threads about the P95, however, I am more interested in fresh info than posts that could be well over a year old.

I've been eyeing the blued p95, and was wondering if it performs and feels as well as I have heard. What are the opinions of other members, regarding the function and feel of the gun?

Thanks.

I have 2 of these. They are very sturdy, eat ANYTHING, never jam, are simple to clean and are reasonably accurate. The decock safety is great - no safety to fumble with, ready to go whenever you pull the trigger. They hold up well in the long run.

I've always like Ruger's P-series of pistols, they are a bit on the bulky side for ccw but every one of them that I have fired has been very accurate & reliable.

I picked one up a little before Christmas last year. I love it. Accurate and reliable. Put nearly 1000 rounds through it, so far. Only malfunction was due to me limp-wristing it.

Posts over a year old could still be considered fresh info regarding the P95.

They were introduced as the next in the P series line 16 years ago and have stood the test of time quite well.

One of my in-laws used to own a P95. Another one owned a P89 and a P94. I didn't get to shoot them often, so I can't comment on how well they function, but I can say they are built like tanks. I would have gotten one except it doesn't fit my small hands well.

I sold my, I didn't like the looks

Ruger p95 was my first handgun several years ago and I still have it to this day. Built like a tank and has been 100% reliable. I bought mine used. Good gun for the money.

The over travel on the trigger is about 5 miles long. Other than than that, and their bulk, it's a great handgun.

I've had my for about a month now and after 250 rounds not one failure. It is really nice to shoot, little recoil and very accurate. The only issue I've had is trying to chamber the first round with 15 in the mag. I'm not sure what the problem is but 1-14 no problems. I think there is a bit too much pressure from the mag spring when it is full. A little more break in may be all that is needed.

I picked up a P95 just about a month ago, It fits my hand well and seems to eat whatever I feed it. It is accurate and comfortable being a rather heavy 9mm it has almost neglidgable kick.

I took it to Atterbury last week and came home with this

It's a great pistol. I bought it new in 1998, have fired somewhere around 10k rounds, and just retired it to my bedside stand gun. Always fires great. The only problems I've had with it is when others limp wrist with it. and one of the mags I bought in 98 finally crapped out on me, causing double feeds on occasion. I've used it three times this year in pistol competitions, as seen here: [ame]http://youtu.be/JDfsuaprmII[/ame]

Good gun. Get my second one out of jail soon.

Im sorry if this has already been asked elsewhere.But my cousin recently purchased a p95 for two reasons, the reliability and I own a p89 and have a half dozen mags he can interchange with.
But his p95 doesnt have a lanyard loop.
Is there a replacement mainspring plate with one in the aftermarket?
I did not see one on Rugers website.

But I love the p series, maybe I play too much COD, but after dual wielding a p89 and p95 last weekend (experamintation)I think I might end up with a p95 to lol.It seemed like the p95 had a heavier trigger pull, but a cleaner break shooting them side by side

I agree, first semi auto I bought many years go. I often it is my carry gun cause I am big guy and can conceal it pretty well.
