While I'd LOVE to see Ruger revive the P90 and chamber it in 10mm, it ain't gonna happen. Market forces control what is produced, and they wouldn't sell enough of them to be profitable. Just imagine, though! The metal P-Series guns were overbuilt TANKS! Just imagine what you could shoot out of a...

writwing, as quite a few pointed out, it's all about what you do and what you prefer. Up until this past year, I carried my SP101 for backup and off duty through the PD I work for. I LOVE a good revolver and, for backup work on duty, the revolver makes a lot of sense. No limp wristing issues...

JPW works pretty well for corrosion proofing guns. Used it on the blued 10/22 I gave my daughter for Christmas last year, simply to try and make the bluing look a little less cloudy and dull for her. As an experiment, I had her handle the barrel, then put it back in the gun cabinet without...

I'll help you out by taking that poor, neglected Glock for long-term testing! Poor thing, bought and never shot! You should be ashamed of yourself! Bub

Tekman, that was my daughter's first question, too. Told her that she needed to keep it in the gun cabinet in the background of my pics. She was OK with that, as long as I take her out on a regular basis so she can shoot it. I hope your daughter enjoys hers as much as my daughter enjoys mine...

Nice looking revolvers. Say what you want about Taurus's QC (or lack thereof sometimes), their guns sure do look good. More years ago than I care to count, as a young Policeman, I needed a backup gun, but had no $$$. I found a stainless Taurus M85CH (Concealed Hammer, which was actually a...

Good for her! And a very good gun for a first gun. She'll LOVE IT! Last Christmas (Christmas 2009), I handed down my 10/22 Sporter with the optional walnut stock to my then 9 year old daughter. I wanted to get her a new one, but finances didn't allow that. Didn't seem to matter to her at all, I...

Berettas are just too stinkin' SEXY! Although I LOVE my Glocks and wouldn't willingly give them up for anything, Berettas just seem to fit my hand SO GOOD! If you HAVE to have a DA pull, the Beretta pull is just about the best I've ever felt. The PD I work for issues Berettas is you want a Dept...

Snake45 and ClintV, we've tried that. Doesn't work. Here's an example. A few years ago, he was talking about getting rifles, but no $$$ in the budget. I took it upon myself to look up the FedGov program (can't remember what it is called right now) where they surplus out older, M16A1 rifles to...

dfletcher, have you tried NevrDull wadding-type metal polish? I had an issue with a stainless S&W M649 snubbie that I owned, before I became aware that stainless steel was stainLESS, not stainFREE. Had some pitting and discoloration under the stocks from forgetting to take them off and wipe the...

Not a very good pic of mine, but the only one I have right now. Started life as a pre-ban 20" Colt HBAR. Shot REAL NICE but was a REAL PIG to carry and maneuver inside a building or car. My deadbeat Chief said that he was going to write a rifle policy for personally owned rifles, so changes were...

HoosierBilly, although not specifically about a P95, they use the same mags as the P89, and I do have one of those and some MecGar 17 rd mags. They work FLAWLESSLY! In fact, my P89 does nightstand duty and it's loaded with a 17rd MecGar mag, with more for reloads. Can't think of a better...

There was a trend in the '90's that, when gripping your handgun, you would wrap the index finger of your support hand around the front of the trigger guard. Never did find out what it was supposed to do but I found it uncomfortable when I tried it. Evidently, a lot of people used that grip...

As long as you can afford to buy the SR9c and keep the P93, keep it. You'll regret selling it down the road. If money is an issue and you won't carry the P93 because it's too big and bulky, well then, you have a decision to make. In that situation, myself, I'd sell the P93 and get the SR9c. That...

ship4brains, I have a P89DC and used to have manual safety S&W autos, which have the safety in the same location as the P-Series. With the safety version, you apply the safety and it decocks the gun, as well as moving the firing pin out of the way of the hammer, or places a block between the...
