Hiya Guys ,
2 new Ruger's in 2 days ( picked up a 10/22 Carbine yesterday), who woulda thunk it .
I was working on my brothers computer tower last night when a local guy here hit me up about a computer tower that I sold a couple of months ago but still shows up on the Facebook Marketplace even though I deleted that post just after I sold the thing.
We got to talking and I found out he was having the same problem that I'm having with the majority of my older PC games, most of the games are old enough now they're not compatible with any of the new systems that I've built for friends and clients over the last couple of months since I've been laid up. He was looking for a system that he could play the command and Conquer series of games with & was offering this really nice Ruger P94 in trade for it. We talked about options between a computer tower and a laptop and he decided that he wanted the Toshiba Satellite 2.3Ghz Turion 2 dual core laptop top that I picked up for a song in Kuna, ID. last summer.
The system was fully loaded with just about every Bell and whistle you can think of on it and I even added Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds clone campaigns running off a virtual drive for him so he didn't need the disc. He came over and checked it out and he really liked it so we shook on it and called it a deal. He shut it down and packed it up in the Targus laptop case along with the rodent and mouse pad that I threw in as a bonus so he could game with it without using the on board touchpad & headed home to play with his new system while I got a good look at this new P94 .
I've wanted something from the P-Series for quite some time now and I've been pondering a P90dc .45 but I hadn't got around to picking one up yet, so it's kinda funny this 94 model crossed my path instead.
After pouring over a crap load of reviews on the different P-Series pistols, it's true what they say, for a polymer lower and a satin chrome slide this thing actually seems like a pretty nice autoloader overall. It's a full size semi-auto, it's big and it's bulky and it reminds me of holding the Taurus and Beretta 92's that I've had but this one actually fits my hand much better and it points naturally. It's got 3 dot Siglite style sights with a fixed front sight and a dovetailed Novak rear w/ a commander style hammer and a real smooth decocker. Unfortunately the slide release and the magazine release are a little awkward and leave a little to be desired compared to most of the other ke a Beretta 92 and a taize 1911, but the contoured polymer finger groove grip feels nice and kind of reminds me of holding my Sig Sauer SP2022, only I wish that thing would of had the Contour grip that this has.
It came with the Plain Jane Ruger box, two 10 round double stack magazines, a speedloader & a nice shoulder holster w/ a double mag holder on the opposite side of the rig. I won't be using this in EDC rotation, it's too bulky and heavy for that, but it will be nice to carry in the field or as a range toy .
