I have both a KP95DC and a KP97DC. The Houge slip on grips were the first and only things I did to them. Outside of having to replace small parts on each pistol to get it to work properly (supplied free of charge from Ruger), they have since worked perfectly.

Just came from my favorite dealer and he had a used P89 in like new condition, two magazines and the box for $255.00. Now I already have a KDP95 and a KDP97, I've had them for a few years now....and they both work great....now! They both had "issues" and had to be repaired with factory...

Waltzed into my local gun emporium this afternoon and the pusher showed me the latest offering from Ruger, the SR-22 rifmfire, "tactical", 10/22 variation. My first impression? Cute, well made, overpriced and another answer to an unasked question! COME ON, GIMME A BREAK! When will we see the...

I used the Hogue slip on's on both my P95 and P97. Works great and is cheap. What more could you ask?

I've got a KP97DC, that also had a problem with the slide stop backing out. It was that way, brand new, right out of the box. A quick call to Ruger set that straight. They sent me a new one and it has run like a million dollars ever since. The P97? An excellent firearm! :D

I've had a No. 3 in .223 for just about thirty years. Got it new in 1980. I used various out of the box 55gr loads, both commercial and military and it would shoot MOA @ 100 yds. I never tweaked it or did anything else.
