If one takes the time to learn the P89 trigger pull he will realize what a fine weapon he really has for very little money.

I'll use my hearing protection and practice on understanding the trigger pull/squeeze. Is there any work to be done on the trigger adjustment?
I replaced the factory trigger on my Mark II 512 w/a volquartson pre and post travel adjustmnet screws. I really like the short pre travel.

Some where around 500 rounds the trigger will be about as good as it will get. I don't know of anyone messing with the triggers on a P89.

I would suggest dry fire practice to learn the trigger. I did it with my P944 with a penny on the front sight. It helped me a lot.. The side benefit is dry firing will also help smooth out your trigger.

I was bummed that I was unable to get out to try and improve my 45 group and even try a 9mm or 40. Next time I guess. I realized one thing about the P series guns that may explain there reputation regarding accuracy. The trigger pull and sights have a lot to do with there so called lack of accuracy IMO. If a shooter does not concentrate on a good trigger squeeze and perfect sight alignment they will not shoot the guns well. The sights are made more for speed than match grade accuracy. That mixed with a trigger which is a little creepy makes matters worse. I think those two attributes contribute to the perceived lack of accuracy more than any inherent mechanical accuracy issues. It makes me want to tune the trigger and install some good target style sight on a P to test my theory. We should do a SR9 only contest next to see which design people are shooting better with. Just an idea. Well see!

[quote="BuckJM53"]Guys ... Since the Springfields and CZs dominated the May contest, how about a Ruger P Series pistol Challenge for the month of June (after all this is a Ruger forum ). I was thinking:
* 10 yards (to help those of us older guys who struggled at 15 yards without optics)
* Standing, off hand & no optics
* Best 5 shot group size (measured center to center)
* One division for 9mm and a seperate division for .45acp & .40 S&W
* Post your best group with the opportunity to update if you shoot a better group as the month goes on.

If enough folks are interested, I'll post a target ... let me know what you guys think.[/quote]




Buck,
I hope you'll have another one for September, because it
sounds like a Good idea, I gotta free pass to the range I've been meaning to use anyways.
I'll print out a couple of your targets to bring with me.
This is as good a time as any to test out those Meprolight, Tritium Sights , I got for the ole 944.
Sounds like fun.

I am ashamed of the targets I posted as both of my P series shoot better. I was on low ammo month.


Anyone that says a P series isn't as accurate as any other handgun would be wrong in my opinion.
