FOR RADICAL ROD OR CHET 15

[BowenBuilt]

Guys,
I have a P-95 with the insignia on the smooth grip panels painted in red behind the eagle. I was told this was a Bill Ruger commemoritive gun. Can you shed some light on this pistol with the multicolored grip insignia?
Thanks,
BB

Well, I'm not RR or Chet15. However, I did do a quick search of chet15's Reference guide. I could NOT find any info showing a red background medallion for the P-95. If that's the only distinction of that gun that makes it different than a regular one, someone pulled your leg.

I'd think any model with any such distinction would have more than just a change of the eagle color. Pretty darn easy for anyone to simply paint them and create the story. I'm calling foul. I checked the RENE also.

lost the medallion? or simple put in any ones that were currently available at the time, psuedo custom (personalized) :wink:

Nope...Ruger never did a commemorative P95. I can however see a red medallion getting caught up with the other black background medallions.
So if somebody didn't change it in order to come up with a great story, it was one of those flukes at Ruger that happens more than any of us know.

Post a picture! I'm a P-series nut and really like to see the P-guns in any form.

I do know of a guy that installed medallions into his P-95 frame to "copy" what I had done to my P94 etc. Maybe he sold it? But doubt he would feed you the story.
