DA_TriggR4Ruger said:The Ruger P95 may be a a great gun, but the best SD gun is the you have on you, running! The BG won't care if it's in the shop for a parts replacement. I still haven't seen a post with a solid parts source. None of this "might be in stock here, had them last week there, out of stock, maybe in stock at shopruger..." no that doesn't count. Again, your accountable for recommending a weapon that has been discontinued, parts availability in your words, is iffy and only drying up further.
If you want a good Ruger buy a RAP. They have great reviews and the first Ruger semi-auto in years that hasn't suffered from wide spread issues. If you have a P95, that's well and good, continue to enjoy it, it's your choice, but stop recommending it as a new pistol to new shooters. It is doing them a disservice and you're accountable for them if something happens.
If you'll re-read my post I said I'd recommend a P gun where appropriate, IE: to those who want a range, truck or garage gun and don't want to spend a lot of cash for a hammer fired, reliable, easy to maintain, durable gun. Apparently you assume I recommend "new" P guns to "new" shooters? No. As far as being without your gun though, I'd say that's far more likely with the SR, LC series judging by the recalls and posts that detail quite a few problems that require factory service.
Any shooter I'd recommend a P gun too would generally be aware of parts availability even thought the probability of him needing parts or service is nil. Apparently non existent as far as this thread is concerned. Do you have an example to the contrary?
To the OP again?
Have you personally seen a P gun not running?
Broken parts needed?
Service needed?
