Well I am buying a Ruger 9mm for carry. How about the P95, is it a good choice, any experience, what is it's reputation? I have a P85 and P90 but need something a little smaller and lighter in semiauto to carry other than my revolvers.

    Don't know of any Ruger handguns that are not a rough tough and reliable product. I tell people all the time that Ruger is like the Buick of the firearms industry. No it is not a Cadillac but it ain't bad.

    My P95 is great. Got it used but 99% and love it. It is very accurate, easily controlable, and light. Good sight picture and well built. Had no problems with mine, even shooting cheap stuff.

    Thanks for all the input. Going over to the gun shop today to purchase a P95. Wife says if she shoots it and likes it then I will have to buy her one too.

    Landis: She is not really a gun person and only got a carry permit and Lady Smith at my insistance. Used to be if I bought another gun I would have to buy her another Longenberger basket, but since 9-11 she has been at the range once a week and has a whole new look on things. A lot of her friends are now interested and are taking firearm courses - they go to a basket bingo and then go to the range.

    Make sure you see and feel that lousy mag release on the right side. It might bite into your right gripping hand.
