Ruger P95

I bought my first P seires Ruger when the P85 came out and over the years have also bought a P89 and a P94 in 9mm as well as a P92 in 40 S&W caliber
I still to this day own my P85, I regretfully have had to sell my other P seires pistols over the years but never because of a flaw in the gun, each one was sold when I was thinning out my collection to make room (and money) to add something different to my collection
However during the years I owned my P95 I never once had a problem with that firearm, it served me well and spent many hours on the range plinking cans or target shooting for practice and of the thousands of rounds I put through it it never once gave me any problems
I must admit I am not the biggest fan of the PSeries Trigger, firng single action the trigger breaks crisp and clean making hitting targets and printing tight groups at 25 yards a reasonably easy task
The triggger however has a very long reset on every one I have owned or shot over the years from my 85 to the 95
This means the trigger has to come nearly all the way back to the original "rest" point to reset wich in turn makes rapid firing very difficult with a P Series Pistol.
On the PRO side though that long reset and slowing down rapid firing is not always a bad thing, it makes this pistol a perfect match for treating new and/or young shooter to slow down, Aim, then fire a lot easier tha the same task with say a Glock and its short reset trigger
This is the main reason why I have kept my P85 all these years First of I chose to keep my 85 over my 95 because it was my original Ruger 9mm otherwise I would have kept the newer 95 with the lower round count through it (I'm funny that way:)
But to the point while the P95 is a good all around 9mm to me it's most valuble use is as a training gun for new ahooter
The P95 is like all the P Series it is extremely rugged, durable and extremely dependable even when its put through rough treatment we don't typicaly put our guns through
I loved all these guns for their ruggedness and reliability with the only real Con being the long trigger reset
However if your not into speed shooting but more into accurate shooting these are excellent guns
And if you haveaa kid growing up that your going to be teaching to shoot there is no gun better suited to that job than this one right here
Overall I will most likely always own at least 1 of the Ruger P pistols
And with the price of guns these days you are simply not going to find a better all around 9mm handgun than the P95 for general use. From Concealed carry to match shooting to training beginners shooting this one pistol is well suited to them all
Its only Con being the long reset if your into rapid fire or Speed shooting and with the price of ammo these days most of us can't afford that anyway
If your looking for a quality, American Made 9mm Side Arm at a reasonable price this is definetely the gun for you
Overall my P95 served me well without any issues
Definetely a high quality 9mm side arm
