Despite Revhighs distaste for Ruger P guns.(see the other p97 thread where he thinks they are Yugos) Sorry Rev my brother, you are delusional.
Me being the sane one, I had to get another P series metal decocker.
While the getting is still good.
I have been looking for either a nice smith 3rd generation or Ruger p89
for a while locally. Been burned too many times on line not seeing the gun in person. Can I mention that here without rebuke?
I am bit soured on striker pistols except for Glock.
From now on I am sticking with older smiths and older Rugers semi autos.
I found a Smith 915s for $400. Too high a price and too beat up.
Also not a third generation.
I found a Smith 6906, I have one already, but wouldn't mind another, they are great guns but the only one I found was a square trigger one. I don't like that. Came very close to getting the 6906 for $400.
Also found a Sig p6 that was kinda beat up, one 8 shot mag, for $450. Thought that was too high and never been a Sig guy anyway.
I think they are overrated. Sure Sigs work but so does Ruger. Why spend more. Ruger is an American company, good warranty, and most importantly stone cold reliable. Some Yugo. :roll:
Never a recall, never heard of ANYONE complaining of Ruger P series.
( well except Rev, but to repeat myself, he hates Ruger autos on principle :lol: )
.
So, Finally found a P93 decocker model in a hole in the wall gunstore. It looks absolutely perfect. Not a scatch. Full of old grease, it was yellowed inside with old oil/grease, it looks to have been shot once and put away for a decade.
So here is the score. $360 dollars.
Yes, some will say that is too high, but I have found the Ruger p series to be the most dependable handguns around. The p93 on the bottom is now the baby brother to my p89 at the top.
It is the same size as the p95 but with the aluminum alloy frame.
I have found them harder and harder to find, so though I may have slightly overpaid, I am very happy, and doubt I will regret it as the years roll on. I think I got a keeper. Any other proud p93 parents?
I haven't found a lot of opinions on this particular model, seems everyone has either p89's, p90's, p94's, or p95's.
(And can we please put to bed the issue that P guns cannot shoot accurately? This was done today with my nerve damaged right arm, with cheap brown bear ammo. It's as good as Sig could do and more than enough for anyone for self defense. It doesn't jam, will last forever, and shoot the lights out. Keep the Sig for twice the price! This gun will do anything I need it to. Just ran through 200 rounds to test her out.)
