A blued second model P95DC is on my aquire list. Perfect companion to my original PC9.
I've not bid on several P89's and P90's simply because they had the darn Hogue grip with the finger grooves. No, the P series is an 80s classic, it must have the classic factory grips because Ruger somehow knows how to make plastic look good.

You can’t go wrong with Uncle Mike’sI don't care for either of those.
Mine has a set of Uncle Mike's rubber grips. Fully checkered. Hogue sells (lists anyway) a wood grip that looks just like it.
As usual, those Uncle Mike's grips have gotten hard to find.
This is my P94 in 40 caliber. it's the nicest of my three P series. Apparently the previous owner barely shot it.
My dream car was always a classic Mustang. I wrecked the 66, but I still drive the 67 sometimes.

The p94 and 93 look great in black like yours. Most of my P-Series pistols are stainless. All blacked out ones like yours are sweet !
I've owned a few!
Ruger p89- believe it or not, totally fubar in the very easy take down process. Gun Smith couldn't fix, Ruger itself couldn't fix. Comped me on a new sr1911
Ruger p94- loved the looks. Looked like a block stainless goldeneye 64 pistol. Not terribly accurate in my hands. Friend shot well, must be me.
Ruger p95- I've owned several of these. Never should've sold my last one. Stainless slide and safety. No discernible difference in accuracy against a sig 9mm. Sold it since I had the sig but I miss it and would grab another if a deal presented itself.
Take-down was odd. Reach in the ejection port and flip that switch.
Security 9 I hear good things about.
I feel some nostalgia for these relics of a bygone age.
They couldn't fix it and didn't have another one so they either gave him an SR1911 or gave him a really good deal on a new SR1911.

It had better be sweet, or I got cheated out of $225!
The P85 was the first Ruger P-series pistol, released in 1987. The last variant of the P-series, the P345, was discontinued in 2013. The longest produced was the P89, which was made for 20 years until it was discontinued in 2009- a pretty good run.What was the 1st P gun?
MOST IMPORTANT.... Substandard Accuracy. My Hi-points will outshoot my P series all day long as will my Sigmas, Taurus etc.. Almost any modern lower end budget guns will smoke a P series in accuracy be it the P85 (especially those), P89/91/93/94/95 etc. Anyone who says different is in my opinion Liar or simply such a bad shot that they cannot tell the difference between an accurate gun and an inaccurate gun.
I guess I'm a liar....
I think the inaccurate Ruger P series trope is overstated. People make out like they pattern instead of group.
No, tack drivers they aren't; you're probably not going to win any Olympic bullseye medals with one but they are accurate enough for their intended purpose.
That or Maybe your pistol is just a fluke.
