The P-85 was my first duty-issued semi-automatic pistol back in 1990. Like Storm says above, I had difficulty shooting it accurately, but managed to qualify with it. I had had no formal training with semi-automatics prior to that, coming from an agency that was issuing wheelguns (with which I did very well.)
I now have much more experience and education with autoloaders, and currently own a P-95 I picked up a little over a year ago. I shoot it a lot better than that P-85, having developed more skill over the years. I'm glad to have it, and I even carry it sometimes.
