44-357: Ignore them their ego shows, you know you made a hell'va good purchase on a rock solid hangun. At that price I would have bought it in a heartbeat and yes so would have they. Al: Its interesting you should say that, I couldn't agree more. Among the handguns I own some are high end...

For those who own or are interested in the P89, IMHO they are very underrated. If a firearm "jams" with all shooters, the problem is the firearm. If accuracy is the problem for some shooters, then its most likely the shooter. The difference in accuracy between my Walther P5 and my Ruger P89...

MexicanJoe: As you so accurately stated the P-series Rugers are an excellent choice of semi-auto handguns regarding durability and reliability, however IMHO, if a Sig is a Chevy, then a German made Walther is a Rolls-Royce :). Osage

wvshooter: Not intended to add to a "my gun is better than your gun", I have two favorite 9mm's, both are extremely dependable, however one is considerably more accurate, while the other has more of the desired features, i.e., push-button mag release and double stack capacity. Just so you...

T. Ramsey: Well there's your answers, aside from the aforementioned biased confusion, the Ruger has brought you this far, IMHO buy the P89DC or maybe even a couple. Not that I believe you will ever need them, but at present there are a butt load of parts available. That is unless, you've...

Sir, to me that is the ultimately serious question, not in line for bull sh$$ biased answers. Obviously the criteria has to be 100% in all aspects; i.e., dependability, accuracy, weight, fit and feel. Actually my confidence has always been with the older DA/SA, all metal hammer guns, point in...

Roylt: Since there are no nearby marks or scratches on the gun, it appears the parts were polished either prior to initial assembly and/or completely removed at a later date to perform the task. Again it just conjecture, but from what is known it does not seem likely that the initial owner had...

Thanks Hittman, maybe there is nothing to learn about this P89T, neither the literature nor the label reference the origin other than Ruger. Since the serial number is in the low end 314- range, apparently it was manufactured in 2000. The previous owner got it from the original owner's widow...

To clarify, when I referenced the other P89T's I've found, they were comparisons to posted photos, however I did contact a person who has one, he stated that his has a brushed metal finish on the barrel chamber and trigger. Not having a physical gun to compare, I do not know if there are other...

O.K., first I don't know if this photo attachment process worked, however if it did here is my question, exactly what is it? Yes I know its a P89T as is on the box label, but its not like the other P89T's I've found. The trigger and barrel chamber area is polished metal instead of the normal...

O.K. here is my bias, Tim's reference to the P5 is in fact dead on accurate. To me the prime criteria for a firearm is "accuracy", followed by features along with fit and feel, otherwise I have very low interest. Over the years I have owned many different handguns in most available calibers...

Tercel89: Actually, there aren't any problems that I have found other than personal likes and dislikes. For instance, I bought a LNIB P95 several years ago but just never feel in love with the look and feel, so I sold it. Then earlier this year I bought a Special Edition P89T in LNIB...

Well you guys were right, as it turns out the guy is retiring and moving to Hawaii, which has a 10rd magazine restriction. Needless to say the trade is done. Osage

Actually back when he first brought up the proposed trade I mentioned that GunBroker usually had bunches of them. Ironically, I just checked their auctions and there are currently 80+ 10rd magazines for sale. Maybe he just doesn't want the auction hassle, however mine is not to question...

roylt: Actually that was my thoughts also, why not just load 10 cartridges but keep the high capacity capability. If required, it shouldn't be that difficult to install a temporary block in the magazine. rugerguy211: The magazines came new in the box with his very new looking P95. However, I...
