I have a couple bucks burning a hole in my pocket and there's a couple guns for sale on the local gun forum. I can get a blue P95DC for $300 or a stainless P89 safety/decocker combo for $350.
I already have several P95s. I really like them and with them being discontinued who knows what will happen with parts availability. It never hurts to have extras. It would just be another duplicate/backup though so not very fun.
I own no P89s and this one is from 2006 based on the serial number so it is from a good time period (but not the best) for the P89. I don't much like the safety/decocker combo though. I do own two P94s with both .40 and 9mm slides. I don't know how hard parts would be to find for the P89 in the future. I do know there were several design changes and slides and such might not fit.
I'm in Ca and we have this stupid safe handgun roster and neither the P95 or P89 are on it any longer so one has to buy them used, private party transfer in person (no out of state transfer) so the P series are getting harder to find here. Probably will be my last P series purchase.
