I must be on a P-series streak. In the past few months I've come across a P89, a P90, and now a P95; all in great shape and at prices simply too good to turn down. It's my opinion these rugged, trouble free guns are under-appreciated. They are solid additions to my armory. Particularly happy to find the P-95 since I've had my eye out for a nice one.
And now…a P-95

Mine's more evil ... all black. Nice find. In FL you can use the scary 15-round magazines too...
I have one with the rail and one w/o. The one w/o was carried for years until I took a job that required a smaller profile handgun. It now resides in an under cabinet holster within reach of my computer chair.

Mine has a rail and textured grip. Didn't know there was two versions or how to tell if my controls are slim. Mine is DC.
First ones had a slick grip and I think no rail.... but I can't say for sure .... with out either looking at my 'collection' or checking the data base.
I bought mine before the '10 round only' ban came into effect here in Maryland so I am 'grandfathered' and have the big magazine.

I have said for many years that the P series Rugers are the most underrated pistols every built. I have owned several, and never, ever had one jam.

You mean the NORMAL magazine instead of the small one.
Yep!

Love mine. Wanted a P95 for a long time years ago. Saw a NIB on GB and bought it. Before it arrived I went to a big unnamed flea market and guess what was the first thing I saw.

My 2 have certainly been reliable.
Not being negative but I do now have two issues with the Ruger P series pistols after moving over to Sig P's .... one is the location of the de-cock lever.... up high on the slide as compared to down on the frame... the other is the need to keep that eject lever down in the grip pulled down when putting the slide back on or bad things can happen.... that you need to know the secret of how to fix or you got a locked up gun.
But like I've said here before... actually now that I think about it, it was many years ago... one of the main reasons Ruger moved over to the striker fired pistols was they could not improve on the P95 anymore.... kind. of like a 1970's Sears Kenmore washing machine or dryer... will run forever..... we had them for over 30 years and only changed a belt on the dryer once. Now they got to put computers in the dern things to make them mo-better.

Go to eBay and buy all the spare parts you want for next to nothing. For some reason peeps are selling parts for the 95 for dirt cheap. Grab while you can. I did.

I have a P-38 on my keychain.
Mines on the bottom of Lake Keowee ... the can opener not the plane or gun.
