I still consider myself a newby after 18 months and I have a 4" GP100 in addition to a 9mm. In my short experience, the type of load affects the kick on the Ruger. A .38 special load (even +P) doesn't have much and even a 110 gr or 130 gr .357 round is fairly smooth. What kicks my butt is a...

Since I'm fairly new, I have had a 9mm semi auto and a 357 revolver and have become comfortable over the last year with the guns and the proper safe operation of them. I am now looking to add a 1911 45 acp to the collection. Any suggestions for a first timer not looking to totally break the bank?

Dry Fire I also have a 4" GP 100 and the manual says it can be dry fired with no harm.

+1 on the Ruger. My first was the P89 at $400. P95 is the polymer version for $300.

Hi all, I've been shooting for about six months and had purchased a 9mm semi auto. Yesterday, I bought a Ruger GP 100 357 magnum. I am looking for suggestions for the best value in practice ammo and the best performance in home defense ammo. I am looking for suggestions on factory ammunition...

Thanks Thanks all....I did find wwb at a local walmart for 14.62 per box of 100 but Natchez shooting supplies on the net has blazer for 6.69 and blazer brass for $6.99 per box of 50. Which do ya think is the better deal?

Can someone help me understand the difference between CCI Blazer ammo and CCI Blazer Brass? There seems to be a small price difference of one penny per load. I am new to pistol shooting. Is one better than the other? Thanks.

Yes....the slide did not lock back. Is that an indication of an issue with the gun or the magazine?

Thanks for all the input. I went to the local range that rents pistols and again no P95. So, I rented the XD 9 Tactical just to get the feel of the polymer frame. After shooting it I decided I liked the heft of the P89. So I just purchased it and will be able to pick it up after Wednesday...

Thanks to all.....will also try the p345 and report back on the purchase decision.

New Member Hello from the Chicago burbs. I got interested in guns after the Katrina fiasco and finally took a private pistol course from a NRA instructor in January. I am now looking to purchase. I have been going to the range and renting various weapons and appreciate that this sport is...

Hi, Just joined today. Have been thinking about a personal defense weapon since Katrina. I don't want to break the bank and have settled on the Ruger P89 or P95. I have rented the P89 at the range and have fired 300 rounds. They do not have a P95 to rent. If anyone could help me out with...
