Going and Going and Going .... P-Series are the Energizer Ruger !!!!! .

I've got 2 P97's, 2 P90's, 2 P85's. --- 24 years ago I bought my very first P-series (a P90) ..... still got it, still use it on a regular basis for target practice. --- the other 5: still using them on a regular basis for target practice. I guesstimate at least 70,000 rounds (combined)...

What's the old joke with different words ..... if you ain't shootin' a P90, yer wastin' yer time. With that bit of humor, I bought my first P90 24 years ago. Got another one a year later. Then a couple of P97's. Then some P85's. Yep, I turned into a P-series kinda guy. As noted above...

I bought my first P90 22 years ago. I've put no less than 18,000 rounds through it since then. And I put another 100 rounds through it just last week. Still works just fine, zero complaints !! .

Shortening the ejector ...... an idea. Might you have any technical info on that ?? In the meantime, I received, installed, and live-fire tested the new ejector ...... back to normal !!!

On my P90: way back 4-1/2 years ago the ejector tip broke off. Here's the thread from that adventure, which includes a picture ...... https://www.rugerforum.com/threads/p90-broken-ejector.268697/ I replaced it, an easy job. And just today, it happened again !! After only 8,700...

We both had a good laugh because he said, "I had no idea I even had the Assembly, so imagine my surprise when I found it, then gave it to you. And now, it won't take me long to again forget it is back in the parts bin."

Yes Indeed !! With much ceremony I presented to my pal his spare Mainspring Assembly so that he could toss it back into his parts bin !!

. Ruger in Prescott gets much praise from me for a recent customer service repair. A couple of weeks ago the Mainspring Assembly of my 22/45 broke, here's the details on that ...... --- https://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=298188 I enquired and Ruger told me to mail to them the...

. UPDATE 14 FEB 2022 In my 05 FEB post up above, I mentioned that I had mailed the two Mainspring Assembly pieces to Ruger in Prescott. In this morning's mail delivery: Ruger completed the repair and I received the Assembly !! I of course immediately assembled it into my 22/45 and...

UPDATE Some amazing luck !! First ....... A pal of mine here in town actually had a spare 22/45 Mainspring Assembly in his parts bin !! It installed no problem, and then some live-fire testing: no problem, the 22/45 once again works just fine. Second ...... Earlier this week I had...

. Here's what I think should be a "never happen" ...... Broken Mainspring Assembly Just last week my 22/45 Mainspring Assembly broke. Here are two pictures: top: my actual broken assembly bottom: what the unbroken assembly looks like. The red arrow shows the "tab" which broke. I bought...

For several years now I've been shooting the barrels out of my two P90's and my P97 ...... they are like the Energizer bunny: they just keep working and working and working. The only "problems" have been a broken magazine latch spring and one broken ejector ...... all easily fixed by me. And...

roger, Thanks To All !!!!!!

I'll preface this with: I Do Not Reload And Therefore I Have Absolutely No Idea !! I've got some VihtaVuori 20N29 powder. I know it is for .50BMG. I'd appreciate some thoughts/opinions/academic learned discussions/wild ideas/pontifications if it can be used for light/plinking loads for...
