May I Be the first to say I was a 9mm Hater! I was introduced to shooting by my dear old father the Marine. When it came to pistols the smallest caliber for defensive purposes was the 357 magnum and if you preferred an autoloader it was 45ACP. The philosophy being to use enough gun to end the fight as quickly as possible. Now I still agree with this philosophy. However in my young and impressionable mind, I decided that certain calibers were a waste of my time.
Time went on and I began to build my own collection and it consisted of 45s, 44s, a 40 s&w that I bought because the price was too good to pass up, and 357 Mags. Well ammo prices have steadily risen over the years, so it started to get more and more expensive to keep my guns fed. I decided i needed something a little cheaper to shoot. Well despite my bias against them I decided to purchase a P95 in 9mm. I've always been fond of Ruger since I bought my first handgun a P97 years ago, so I figured I would stay with a platform I was familiar with. The price didn't hurt either.
Well readers I must say this P95 is one very fine pistol in my humble opinion. My first time shooting it I was able to keep all my shots except one in the black on a standard pistol target at 25 feet. I was blown away its like this pistol was made just for me. Don't get me wrong I'm a fairly good shot, but this pistol just made it so easy. Plinking cans and informal shooting is just a blast (pardon the pun) with this
9. It just seems to put the round where I want instinctively. Readers I love by larger pistol especially my 45s, but I've found myself picking up the 9 more and more. Just knowing that if I do my part it will place my shots where I want them is a confidence booster. After all shot placement is King when it comes to self defense.
I can also practice a whole lot more with it since ammo is cheaper than 45 or 40. And I'm pretty confident that 16 rounds of 124 gr. +P Speer Gold Dots will do the job if called upon. People I know I'm long winded but this pistol impressed me and opened my eyes to a respectable caliber that I once thought inferior. Through all this I still revert back to my beloved father's teachings. If something goes bump in the night, I will reach for my trusted 45 or my 12 gauge shotgun. After all I want enough gun to end the situation as quickly as possible if need be. But if I find myself in a similar situation with nothing but my P95, I won't feel the least bit undergunned. Pardon my ramblings and Thanks for reading.
