It's just too bad that Ruger won't support the natural rights of those that support them. Seriously, that's what turns me completely from Ruger. I'd sure like to try out a GP-100 or (I can't believe I'm saying it) a P-89, but I can't get past how we've been sold down the river.
OMG, talk about living in the past. Bill is dead, people, and the company is NOT the same. They are selling Mini-14s with 20 round mags TODAY. They are making both concealable pistols and revolvers. Try looking around you before making statements based on 1990's catalogs.
I currently own an original, pre-MK.I, P85. I also have a P89, a KP90 (safety), a KP97DC, two P95s (one a KP95), and a KP345.
The latest version of the P95 has improved gripping areas, losing the slippery feel, as does the KP345.
As we can also see, they aren't bigger than many comparable pistols, nor are they heavier. All of mine, including the P85, have been as accurate as any other rack-grade pistol out there. In fact, I've never cracked a slide in 75 rounds (P229), or had a factory barrel that was terribly out of spec (HK USP), or a Ruger with the sight dovetail cut large enough that the rear sight walked out every 4-5 shots (Colt).
You may like, or dislike, the pistols, but they work reliably, have good accuracy, and Ruger has ALWAYS stood behind it's products.
The poster DID ask about which RUGER would be his best choice. He didn't ask for YOUR personal favorites.
