Ruger P90 vs Springfield Ultra Compact

Since the Ruger P90 is in debate this evening I thought I would ask a question concerning my next gun purchase.

I am considering purchasing a .45 pistol just for collecting and shooting with carry and personal defense as an occasional secondary purpose.

First, I am a Ruger guy and own most of the P series pistols except for the .45 cals. Second, I am not too much of a Ruger guy not to consider another brand .45 pistol if the reliability is there.

Presently I have a great deal on a used Springfield Ultra Compact. Still, for the same price I could buy a used P90 plus another gun to boot. Is the Ultra Compact that much more superior to the P90 to warrant the extra cost?

I have shot and like them both now I just need to decide which one. Ruger or Springfield?

    Just my opinion, but comparing the P90 to the Springfield is like the old apples and oranges deal. These guns are in two different categories. You might consider a full size 1911. I think it would be more enjoyable for just shooting.

    I own a P-90 and a Springfield TRP and one of Springfields Loaded Models they are fine guns.But the P-90 is as durable and should shoot as good or better.IMHO you get more bang for your buck with the P-90 and it will shoot most any load you put in it.


    Best!!
