Congrats on your P89. It will likely serve you very well.

Thanks Welder. I rewarded the SR1911 with a new pair of shoes the same day. Got a great price on these Pachmayr Legend grips at Gander amid their closeout sale :)

Welder ... I love my P-Series pistols as well. The range bag was designated "Ruger Only" last Saturday (P95, P345, MKIII512 & SR1911). At the end of the session I decided to shoot one target with all four at 10 yards for fun. I stopped at 5 rounds with the SR1911 as a sub 1" group was a great...

HD ... I've had mine since '06 and it was my daily carry for 2 years ('06 - '08). It currently has over 3,000 trouble free rounds down the pipe and has been a fine pistol. Mine has the red emblem inserts and has never had an issue with the magazines hanging up on the emblem "tabs". I included...

No Way. While many things in this world are obsolete (slide rules, commodore 64, Hillary Clinton, etc.) based on the standard definition "the condition of no longer being used or useful", I do not see my P95 or KP345 "no longer being used or useful" anytime soon :).

Thanks Al :). While they indeed are not target pistols and can't compete with my CZ75b, Hipower or SR1911 for that matter, with proper technique they are plenty accurate for combat grade pistols and are fun to shoot. To your point, I'd never keep any pistol in my collection only capable of 8 -...

I've had occasion to shoot all of the P Series along the way and own my two favorites ..... P95dc and KP345. In addition to both being solid, dependable and comfortable shooters, the real reason I can't decide between the two is shown below from a recent range session :)

And KABOOM would still be primarily used to describe a video game or a household cleaner instead of an exploding pistol :lol:

Welcome and congrats on your new Ruger

DA ... I was thinking the same thing (now we're in trouble) :lol:.

1rebel ... If Ruger comes out some day with an 3" barrel LW 1911 compact (doubt they will), I'd be interested :D.

WV ... Welcome to the forum & congrats on your "new to you" P89. You've added a fine pistol to your collection :)

Sounds like a plan, and a good one :wink: Chief ... They do indeed work and work well :D

Is it a sub-sonic round or a hi-velocity round. If it is sub-sonic, it very well may not have the power to cycle the bolt properly.

No harm blume :). I also practice a significant amount of point shooting off the draw and/or from "low ready" in the 15 - 25 feet range with my carry pistols (not with the P's however).
