Hey there PistolNewbie. First, let me welcome you to THR, I've learned alot here, and hope you can do the same!!!
I just picked up a new P89DC myself. I took it out over the weekend and put my first 100 rounds through it. I found it comfortable to shoot, easily handleable recoil, accurate, NO misfeeds, even with a USA brand 30 round magazine, and FUN!!!
When I got it home, it was easy to breakdown and clean, and easy to reassemble.
I'm very well pleased with it, and I'll be working on getting more accurate with it and just getting used to it.
Some things that I've heard other people mention is the weight, which I like but some people don't, the trigger pull takes some getting used to, double action is a little stiff, and single action has a lot of take-up travel, and when new, may be a little on the hard side, but about 200 firings on a snap-cap smoothed mine out pretty well. My rating on the P89 is TWO thumbs up!!!
Your mileage may vary (ymmv), but I think you'd be happy with it!! GOOD LUCK!!!!
