Considering the purchase of a P95 Ruger w/manual safety 9mm. Like Rugers and have a couple thousand rounds through my P85 and would use the P95 for a carry weapon. Any feed back on the P95 would be appreciated, good bad or indifferent. Thanks.

    My personal opinion is that its a brick with a trigger. If you like Ruger centerfire autos, then by all means go for it.

    a very sturdy and reliable brick with a trigger!Had a chance to own one years ago but decided to pass on it because of the grip size. Other than that, it was a very reliable firearm(at least the one i borrowed). not a single jam in about 700rds.If youre sold on the idea of carrying one for duty...go ahead as long as youre comfortable with it.good luck,Smooth

    Had many many autos and thought that the Rugers were the worst. Bulky, long trigger pull and last but not least was that lousy magazine release on the right on the 95 that always tore into my finger

    yep, love my brick also, great bang for the buck, you can buy a couple of rugers for the price of 1 "fancy weapon" when all is said and done the weapon just plain works

    I've got the P94 "brick"--it took both a rubber grip and a wrap around Hogue (installed at the same time) to make the brick feel good in my hand.I don't own the P95, but fired one at the range once--it shot well, but the all plastic grip was quite slippery in a sweaty hand; the temperature was about 95 degrees (and it's always humid in SC). With no grip panels to replace, the only modification option would be a slip-on rubber sleeve--if you thought this might be a problem, you might want to consider the P-series with the alloy frame, like the P94.

    Ruger 95..... I owned a Ruger 95 for 2 years. Its true what competentone said about the plastic and sweat mixture. Buy a Rogue pistol grip and slip it in... problem solve! In reference of the gun itself, I have never had a problem with that baby. If you are a big guy with big hands these its a dandy gun. Very cheap, accurate, good in concealment and u can get hi cap magazines very cheap. In my 2 years of experiece with these weapon I can tell you i have no but no complaints at all.I hope these helped.I give the gun 2 thumbs up!

    Have not tried the 95 but have a P89 that has digested over 7000 rnds without a single malfunction.I can't say as much for my P94 in 40S&W. It malfunctioned once in the last 2000 rounds. Yes they are bricks, but reliable bricks.

    Have put a P-90 through 10 hard years without a single problem.They dont have the snob appeal as the high dollar guns but perform just as well.
