Polymer P95

Polymer P95
How is the newer P95 that has the polymer frame?Is it not as bulky as the steel model and how do they shoot? I saw one and liked the look just wanted some firsthand advice on it. The Ruger autos have always been a little bulky but good guns.
Thanks

Here is a pic of the first mag full out of my new P95 at 15 yards:

The P95 is not quite as think as the aluminum framed P89, or at least it does not seem so to me.

gunman: Some fine shooting there. Love a P95, got two of them my self.

I've put about 500 rounds through mine with no problems at all. The creepy single action trigger pull keeps it from being as accurate as it could be. The pistol is still well within minute of bad guy though. Outstanding gun for such a low price.

I love mine! The polymer frame takes some getting used to, as far as limp-wristing, etc. But a great gun!

You are being redundant... all P95s have a polymer frame.... the previous models 93, 94? may have had a metal frame, I'm not sure... the P89 is slightly larger and it has always had an aluminum frame.

now the 'newer' P95's come with a textured grip that makes them a little easier to hold, especially in hot weather if your hands are sweaty... and they also have a rail under the front of the frame for a light or laser....

I like both models, old and new, they are great to shoot and if one works out of the box it will probably work the same for the next 20,000 rounds. I really don't see then as that bulky, but then the P95 and 89 are the only autos I've had experience with in 9mm.... you can conceal a P95 pretty easily but you have to have a really good holster and belt and of course dress right.

Great gun. Single action trigger is a little creepy. I'd recommend a stainless one for the looks.

I always wanted one since my buddy got one (used for $50 worth of parts and some labor time for fixing someones car) in the early to mid 90's. Finally decided I'm going to get one a few years ago then fell in love with the KP944. Kept putting off buying the P95 and just as I was about to finally buy one, Ruger comes out with the SR9c. So, I'm still P95-less but have some other rugers that I love.

And yes, P94 is metal frame.

What gun does not have something about it that you have to live with? I've had to learn not to be such a limp wrist with the polymer frames but once you get used to it things go pretty smoothly. The little creep in the S/A trigger bugged me for about 10 rounds. I learned pretty fast to take up that slack quickly then smooth quick trigger pull.

Hey, If there was nothing to learn about a gun what fun would that be.

Gunman, nice shooting. That was a full mag?? I counted 13 unless my eyes are failing me. (Very possible)

The P95 is a fine durable handgun.

I own one with the DC Decocker version. With a Stainless slide. Put over 1000 rounds through it and still very dependable.

For the money- The BEST Value handgun on the market.

Dixiesouthern is the only difference between the DC and the standard is that the DC is decocker only and no safety and the plain P95 has both?

If you are looking for an extremely reliable 9MM semi-automatic pistol that can survive dragging thru the mud and still fire, the P95 will work for you. It is an amazingingly reliable pistol that will not fail you.

It is not meant for deep concealment because of its size, but it will fire no matter what!. Great pistol.

I'm lovin' my P95 and wouldn't trade it for anything other than a Belgian Hi-Power. I put a few boxes through it over the weekend. Good accuracy, no malfunctions, and it doesn't fling the brass all over the place which is good for my reloading. The single action pull is manageble if you just think of it as a really light double action. A short take-up to the point where the creep begins, then a quick pull while focusing on the sights is how you do it.
