I have a p95 and love it. May not be as sexy as some other guns out there, but it shoots straight and is nice and reliable. A set of rubber pull over grips makes the grip a little nicer.

A little bulky for carry for me, but its a great range gun and mine sits in the night stand for things that go bump in the night

It really doesnt seem bulky to me. And the grip seems good too. Not as svelt as the Glock, and a little higher profile than my Sig, but a nice gun none the less. Im very happy with it.

I have the P95DC (shown in the lower part of the PIC) It was the first Ruger P95(Decocker) that's what she said,...that I owned with poly frame like the Glock, the P95DC doesn't have steel rails that the slide rides on. When they built this pistol they shot 50,000 rounds of Plus P or +P ammo through it, without a single issue(although they tell you not to do that.) Mine is a bit on the bulky side(again, That's what she said) for concealed carry, but it is a nice firearm and the decocker is nice for those of us that like to have a round in the chamber and hammer down. With hammer down it's like an eleven pound trigger pull on the first shot ,, then hammer is back on second shot giving a 3.5 or 4 pound pull for every round thereafter. I still cary this weapon hidden when I go out but it is a bit bulky. Nice gun either way..............

Nice collection! The owners manual in mine actually says that +P and +P+ ammo wont hurt it.

Finally got to shoot it today. I went into the range figuring it wouldnt be as accurate as my Sig, or Glocks. Welp....I WAS WRONG! I didnt clean the gun before shooting, as I wanted to test the reliability right out of the box. It fired every round I pulled the trigger on........AND......made nice little flower holes for each mag fired.

First impressions:

Double action shooting, the trigger has a LONG pull.

Single action, the trigger was smooth, 'cept for an noticable initial take up.

Sights out of the box were dead on.

Recoil:
Recoil was very soft. (I know...Its a 9mm). Muzzle flip was much more pronounced over my Glocks, and even my 45 Sig, but thats to be expected being as the centerline of the bore is higher than those 2 weapons. Target re acuasition was not slowed much by this.

Gripes:
None really, except that when the slide is locked back, after insertion of a fresh mag., and hitting the slide release, a round would stove pipe in the chamber. This happened with the first 4 mag insertions, and didnt happen again for the other 10. This being said, the owners manual DOES state that after inserting a fresh mag, to pull back, and release the slide, allowing the firearm to go into battery. When I did this, there were no issues at all.

Wrap up:

The gun is very smooth, almost on par with my Sig (Which is the smoooooothest auto I have ever fired). Suprisingly accurate, and very comfortable in the hand (I wear size L/XL gloves). The safety, slide lock, and mag eject arent as well thought out as on more expensive firearms, but they are still very usable. After a nice bath (cleaning), it shall confidently be added to my CCW rotation.
