I had trouble with my p95 when I first got it...........less the gun being cheaply made then Ruger not doing better QC with the guns produced. After a trip back to the factory it's been very reliable and a very accurate gun also. 8)
NEED INPUT ON A P95

Had a problem with the slide staying open with rounds in mag when I first started shooting my P95. I have fixed the problem by doing some filing. My Ruger has not been more accurate than my duty issued Sig P226. I still have to shoot with the Ruger more though.

Big surprise there, huh ??
I've never seen a production company with a higher level of across the board accuracy than Sig for a DA/SA auto. Although the CZ's are a slight touch less accurate, I like the ergonomics of the 75B platform much better than the P226 platform.

Very happy with my P95. It seems very reliable, serviceable and is as good or more accurate than most of the various auto's I've fired in my life. Frankly I wouldn't worry too much about wearing it out or it falling apart. It's sort of like guys worrying about shooting their rifle barrels out . If you can afford to shoot that much ammo at $12-$25 a box then the cost of replacing your barrel or in your case P95 is going to be least of your worries.

I can't vouch for the P95, but I have a P94 which is a almost identical twin of the 95. I'de pick it anyday over most any pistol for concealed carry or duty carry. I've had mine for over 10 years now and the only problem I had stemmed from a bad generic magazine. I've carried mine in my duty belt for going on 5 years now with no issues. It will eat any 9mm ammo I throw at it and I know it's not finiky about being a tad dirty like some other pistols and will always work. It's big, bulky, but always hits what I point it at. My old range master used to give me so much hell about my ruger. He used to call it a brick, but he would even admit to everybody that my ruger would outshoot his glock any day. I'm switching over to a P345, but not because my P94 is worn out, not by any means. I just want a bigger, harder hitting round.

GEE,
Seems overall...we like our P95's!
BTW, enjoyed allis8030's original post...
"I'm a little unsure about the quality of the p95 because it is so low in price"
A GOOD DEAL....does tend to make a guy...take a step back.
Hopefully, he will get ,after reading this thread......the P95 is a great bargain for the buck!

Just to throw in another thought:
I believe the Ruger P series are real workhorses and a great value too. I owned the P90 and I did like it very much. I would trust the P's for home defense.
If you haven't examined the gun in a store (or elsewhere yet), check out the ergonomics of the gun. The P95 is quite large for smaller hands. I considered one for my daughter, but she couldn't reach the slide lever with her thumb. If you are going to train other family members to use it for home defense, take the time to put it in there hands first. For those with smaller hands, the first DA shot can be a long stretch for the trigger finger.
I love my Rugers to death and would indeed thrust my life to them, but just want to suggest that there are other reliable choices out there that are much more ergonomical, especially for those with smaller hands. Just something to consider.

Good points Lee. I personally feel that the absolute best 9MM ergonomic platform of all is the CZ75 .... second would be the BHP.
The only gun I like as much from an ergonomic standpoint as the CZ75 is the 1911. They are both just PERFECT. Especially when you put the Hogue finger groove grips on the CZ75. It literally feels like a part of my hand and arm. It's definitely smaller than the 95 also.

One other thing I like about The P95 you can pick up parts on the cheap. Couple o weeks ago on Gun broker was the winner of a complete upper for the pistol. New slide, barrel,recoil springs, and guide rod. $99.00 plus $9.00 shipping. Probably a gun that was confiscated by some police agency. Frame with serial number destroyed and every thing else sold to a broker. Every thing changed out and worked perfectly on my old frame. Ruger will not sell you the parts but they are pretty easy to come by.
Would like to pick up a P93 or P94 if the price was right.

I don't own one "Yet" but my friend does. I was shooting his and was hitting plastic bottle caps at about 20yds. I know this, it's a good enough weapon that the U.S. Army bought a bunch. I believe they bought them for Armored Corps or Vehicle Support Units of some sort. Anyway, it's a accomplishment in itself to win a military contract these days away from FN and Beretta. As far as accuracy, almost all quality production sidearms are capable of more accuracy than the user shooting them. A lot of times accuracy depends on how a weapon "Feels" to that individual shooter. A weapon that feels good will perform better than one that doesn't. This isn't always the case but usually is. I personally feel that my P90 is the most reliable and accurate pistol I ever fired out of the box. And I have carried a lot of M1911's, Beretta M-9's. I've also shot Glocks and Sig's. Ruger's are reliable and I personally believe accurate.

I gotta agree with the others. I just bought another P95 this morning. This will be the second one I have owned. Like the others, the first was totally dependable and reliable. My daughter wanted me to buy another P95 since I had sold the first one a while back.
