For a reliable, accurate pistol for under 350, there's not much to criticize. Anything below a p95 and your looking at hi-points and makarovs. Taurus is priced to compete against the p95, but Ruger is better made.
A local gun shop down the road have them on sale brand new for $275. That's a steal. The gun shop clerk told me they have been flying of the shelves. I'm gonna get one once I get my tax return. It will be my first pistol.
anybody have any suggestions on the best type of ammo for this gun? read on some forums that some ammo didnt agree with the p95... is there a certain type of ammo that i should get?
Nutnfancy, Ruger won a contract to supply 5,000 P95s to the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command in Illinois back in 2004. I believe they were also selected as the sidearm for the Iraqi police.
@cybertek3188 YES YES YES YES AND YES! It’s a great gun for a beginner. Rugged and tough, reliable as any auto out there. Very affordable and easy takedown for cleaning. I love mine and you will love it too.
I don't believe the P95 is a notch below a Glock as far as accuracy goes. I shoot better with this gun and other double/single action guns than with my G17. I guess it's just a matter of personal preference.
if you did not use an IWB holster, then i will say i was very pleased with the P95. Great pistol, solidly built, and i put several 1000 rounds through it. Never had a malfunction, or a failure to feed. Love Ruger stuff....
Hey Nuntn great review on the Ruger, I ended up selling my Ruger due to the fact that in a conceal and carry format, i had several instances during my drawing the firearm the magazine release ejected the mag. Although it is a push mag release, you can, at an angle activate the mag release at an angle, thus ejecting the mag from the gun. Food for thought.
Lol I helped a friend get a gun I never knew about these but he was looking for a cheap one and he found it. He loves it I was thinking about selling my .38 madel 10 and maybe get one of these my self
I checked out your review vid and I just picked up a P95 for $300. GREAT gun for a GREAT price !! However with OUT shooting it in your review you missed a few "points" that should be mentioned. 1) You MUST use the slide release and can NOT "ride the slide" or it WILL fail to load/jam...the slide MUST have FULL force!!!! 2) You can NOT limp wrist the P95 or it WILL fail to cycle correctly/jam. 3) Lower recoil and cheap ammo dont seem to cycle well but "hotter" rounds and p+ cycle great.
Whereas I love all aspects of the p95, the one thing I especially love is the ambidextrous features of it. Because if you're in a defense situation, you're not always gonna be able to use your dominant hand.
@nightslayer78 When it was new the lever was stiff too. I worked some gun grease into the decocker pivot pin on both sides, and it was a little better.
@TalulahsDaddy it wasn't that. it was the hammer falling that got me worried. i've never known a handgun when the hammer fell it didn't fire the round when it's on safe. while i've only had experience with a S&W Sigma and revolvers.
seems to me such a pistol should only be compared to ones of similar features and operation, i.e., others with DA/SA and external hammers; comparing it to a glock is apples and oranges
Glocks are great pistols....but how are they the reference standard for all 9mm pistols? There are many other 9mm pistols out there that are better than the glock....H&K, beretta, and CZ just to name a few...I own a Glock 19 and it is great, but I really don't consider it the reference standard
I just picked up a p-95 9mm rugger for $ 456 & change. It came with 2-15 round Mags. I am well satisfied with but wondering whats the best type of Ammunition to get to fire in it. Thanks

@kenhagerman 456? damn bro we need to find that store n smack the hell out of the guy for almost doubling the price on it..he ripped you off bigtime..unless you live in mass
yes it has been used by law enforcement, I carred one for a while when I was a Sheriff's Deputy back in Fla. then I got a glock. I carry a XD 40 now. the ruger is a dam good gun. I just picked one up for my wife. and did a review on it.
@bforbes808 its my understanding it comes with a 10 or a 15 based on the state you buy it in. for instance i bought mine in Arizona new From Ruger and it came with (2) 15rd clips !! I Just got mine today !!
hahaha i like how you know how to Prescott! Guessing you've been around here NutnFancy? I live in Chino Valley, drive past the Ruger plant every morning on my way to work.
OK NOW I am really confused on MY Ruger P95DC MODEL???
OK, I can Charge the weapon, wih a round in the chamber and the hammer is BACK. I push DOWN on my decocker and the hammer safely falls to the rest /forward position.BUT, the lever STAYS DOWN showing the WHITE DOT on the decocker.Weapon will NOT fire until I push the lever UP and the RED DOT is showing. Is this a Decocker "WITH" a Safety TOO???All of your Decocker videos show the lever going back "UP" when released!! CONFUSED!
@c0nsci0usness I bought this for my first pistol a couple years ago and the only problem i have had with it is with the magazines.. I do live in CA, so maybe it's just the 10 rounders we have to have.. have about 3k rounds through it with no problems
i just got a p95 and i love it, like bigstabby 1 said below the accuracy is based on the shooter not the gun so much. i paid under 400 for mine and its made in the usa great deal and a great gun
@darrellhood25 ya i guess it all matters where you live you know if some gun stores dont have that much comp or if they are working with each other which its illegal but from what i hear about about gun prices and how much they very from state to state they must be working with each other in certain states but ya where i live that gun sells for 260 brand new this place i go even had a special it was 250 brand new with a box of bullets that cost like 12 bucks but that was only for two days
@ecosby100 yeah maybe but i look at the websites of the accual product before i buy that way i have i price point to go off of if u can get it for half price thats all good but theres not a lot of gun places here that i would call a real gun store there r a few that think they r though lol
i know that this video is old, but it was very helpful to me. my p95 came in a couple days ago and i shot some rounds through and it rocks! thanks so much we all appreciate you taking time to make these!
Just came back from the Range and did a head to head Comparison at 25yds these Guns just kept asking for more no failures! Shot 300 rounds and split them on each gun 100 round were reloads i got at my local gun show the rest was the federal champion they sell at walmart. Recoil is very light on both guns with the beretta coming out on top just slightly.
This just reassures me that the P95 can Hang with the best of them.
The P95 was the first handgun I ever fired. Given the price for a gun not made overseas I am still very impressed! I just wish the SR1911 was legal in CA.
@bill5074 I have to agree with you. Every gun should be regarded in it's own. Also, saying a P95 is slightly less accurate than a Glock is a bit bogus. It depends on what gun you are used to and have more time with. A gun is only as accurate as the shooter. Every gun is unique, and every shooter is unique.
@bigstabby Not necessarily. Shooting different guns from a bench rest will definitively reveal the differences in accuracy as it no longer depends on the human factor.
FYI, the decocking of the hammer without firing by means of a lever was invented by Walther with the starting with the Walther PP in 1929, which went to the PPK, P38 and every Walther pistol since.
I love my P95. Purchased some factory original 15 rounds mags from cheaper than dirt dot com. I keep her nice and clean. Smaller hands may not like the grip, though.
I have decided to make this my first gun. after warching this video and some other research I decided on this one. and I like that the gun is 'chunky' and heavy. it makes it feel more powerful.
i have this same gun the only thing i dont like bout it no safety just a decock but its a very good shooting gun ruger makes some of the best pistols around i own a ruger 9mm and 40cal
Happy to say My P95 is working great bought it in January 2011, uses anything, no FTF FTE either, bought extra mags for it at Gander's(NYS mandated 10 rds).
Ie got two of these, blue finish in the case with 2 magazines and all the paperwork included, never fired them, got em for me and the wife. Im trying to sell them . I paid around 300 for them, tried to sell them to the pawn shop and all they offered me was 200 bucks a piece, I decided to keep them. Wish I could at least get 250 each.
Great video review! Took your advice and got me one used. So fun to shoot ! Keep it up nutnfancy. I grew up around colt .45 and .38 Super but I dont have nor need that kind of money to have a reliable shooter.
Glocks have horrible trigger creep and slack. Ghost Inc., match grade barrel, Talon, and efk firedragon recoil spring should save the day. But a stock Glock... yuck.
@TheNeanderthaller It's great, I've put about 500-750 rounds through it so far and it's still firing like the day I got it. I keep this thing super clean too
I bought mine around 2 months ago and have been to the range many times with mine and never have had any malfunctions feeding or firing at all. This is my second Ruger 9mm and I love it.... I actualy plan on caring it conceled.
My father owns one of these. The p95 has good accuracy, but my only grievance with the gun is I find the magazine droops down in the mag well making a round get chopped instead of being put into battery. This is a big problem to me and is why I'm going to save up for a Glock.
To all P95 lovers. In December 1994 Ruger was awarded a contract for 5000 P95 pistols by the US Army tank-automotive, and Armaments, Rock Island Arsenal, Illinios.
Your hands look soft like a woman's. No calluses. It's almost as if you have never worked a day in your life. Ever thought of becoming a hand model. I do believe Geoge Castanza did some hand modeling on the Jerry Seinfeld show at some point. Thanks for the vid, sweet heart.
My very first center-fire gun was a P95. It was the earlier version before they textured the grip. It worked reliably and seemed indestructible. I eventually sold it, though, because I wanted a Beretta 92.
Damn been thinkin bout one of these. But i gotta say. That exposed hammer, the 15 round magazine, the reliability reputation, and the accuracy reputation, have really got me on the brink of being sold. Good lord. Some locally here for 325... My god i think i might be sold. what shall i ever do.
That's my next purchase I'm a two tone gun owner and these two guns suit me fine I got a 327 ,CW-9 both silver and black and I want two add to my small soon to be large collections of two tone guns thx for the heads up dude Aka SheepDawg
Why do you put the ruger below the glock? I own a p95 and have shot several glocks. For me reliability and accuracy have been the same. There really is no factual basis to arbitrarily say that the glock is a notch above the ruger....i would like to see someone actually prove it.
I respect your opinion and see where you're coming from, but I kind of like the heavy-chunky feel and look to it. It's rugged, cheap, and HIGHLY reliable. An over all amazing gun not even looking at the price tag. Simply my opinion.
In December 2004, Ruger was awarded a contract for 5,000 KP95D pistols by the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command, Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois-wiki. Do you know why the army did this any one?
I own a P95, it has been my backyard target shooter, and home defense handgun for several years. I have never experienced a jam or misfire. For reliability I would put it on par with any handgun on the market. For home use the P95 delivers and then some. It's a quality handgun at a very reasonable price. The would be thief that tried to steal a ATV out of my pole building a few winters back didn't seem to mind either. His excuse? "I was just trying to warm my hands" .
just out of curiosity, how do you put it a notch below glock on reliability. there are hardly and reports of problems with these, ie most fte, or ftl, were ammon related. and i have found just as many if not more problems with glocks. i'm not saying anything bad about glock but apples to apples i would say this gun is as/more reliable than the glocks/sigs out there.. just my opinion

This was my first semi auto handgun and I am completely floored by its reliability factor. I have put 4000+ Wal-Mart cheap Winchester white box ammo through it and I can't remember it EVER not cycling or performing like it should. I do, however, clean my weapons thoroughly after each session. Thanks Ruger!
i bought my p95dc model with blue slide and i got it for 250 bucks!! but im currently looking for a glock or sig if i have the money i just want something a little bit more reliable to put my life on
+1 on losing the saftey...reduce cost and K.I.S.S. Would love to see the p95 with no saftey and have the price tag under $300, would really make a great low cost U.S.A. made gun even better
Thanks Nutn, I think the P95 is the best value on the market. I had a p89 back in the day and it was as reliable as my glock 23(100%). Ergos aren't great but an awsome home/boat pistol in my opnion.
@nutnfancy Thanks for the review! I am thinking about purchasing one of these. It's so reasonable, and all P series pistols have the same field strip. By the way, there is a .40 caliber model in the P series; it's called the 944 series. Very bulky, LOL!
@Yaahhhhwtf Heh, what do you expect for a 9mm handgun under $300-350? I love the simplicity of this gun, plus Pro Mag makes aftermarket mags for it. If you were to go with say a Sigma series S&W, they are complicated, plus no aftermarket mags for it.
@valdostastate77 Really? I hear that trigger is like 6lbs, which is pretty heavy for a "striker" pistol. Yeah, I heard they are not exactly a good primary weapon. From what I hear from LEO forums, they would be a better backup. Those Sigmas have a lot of moving parts inside. I know first hand. I almost bought one in .40, lol.
you're right about safetys..i personally think safetys make it more dangerous I.E.."oh dont worry bout it its on safe BANG!" or "shit i need too draw my gun shit its on safe" lol
i used to own one, it's good, quality, didn't jam, but ultimately i got rid of it and just went with glock. it's also a pain to strip since i'm left handed
Hey nutnfancy!! great review..I was reading where Ruger in 2004 was awarded a contract for 5000 KP95D's to the Tank automotive command for the US Army in ILL. Just some info I wanted to share with you...
I am a female with small hands. Looking for a 380....something I can use for personal protection AND target shooting. I would like something that will last but is affordable. I "loved" the SIG p238 and Walther ppk. But they are both out of my $ range. I trust your judgment.

hi i have a problem i just got back from Afghanistan three mouths ago and im trying to buy a gun with the money i saved up. but i dont know which gun i want... im looking at between a ruger p95 and a ruger p94. which gun should i buy? i know that the 94 is a little bit more expensive but i really like the design but i dont mind getting a 95 to save some more money. please get back to me thanks
Kinda dumb question: With one in the chamber and the hammer decocked, is it safe to carry holstered with the safety lever off (relying upon the double-action trigger pull as a safety)? The idea being, of course, that one could then draw and be ready to fire immediately without having to click off the safety lever. I really like this pistol, but the slide-mounted safety bugs me because it's hard for my thumb to reach and is backwards from a 1911 (which is down for fire, up for safe).
@darkwriter77 When you are stressed, unless you practice alot, you will screw it up when you pull to shoot. You will not remember to take the safety off to fire and will be standing there pulling the trigger and nothing will happen. Hence why glock and XD are so popular, you simply pull the trigger. The last think you ever want is to pull to shoot a threat, pull the trigger and then fumble with the safety. The gun will not go off as long as you follow proper safety rules.
@BlackSpade72 um since the early 80s every single gun has a firing pin drop safety, including glock and xd as well as ruger. Unless you buy a 1911 from the 30s, your not going to have your weapon go off from dropping it, even if it falls on the hammer or striker. I think you mean hammer de cocked, not closed? Unless you train with a gun that has a manual safety, you wont remember to flick it off when the time comes. Keep the safety off and your booger hook out of the trigger guard lol.
how much did your ruger p95 cost ?

Just came back from the Range and did a head to head Comparison at 25yds these Guns just kept asking for more no failures! Shot 300 rounds and split them on each gun 100 round were reloads i got at my local gun show the rest was the federal champion they sell at walmart. Recoil is very light on both guns with the beretta coming out on top just slightly.
This just reassures me that the P95 can Hang with the best of them.

The P95 was the first handgun I ever fired. Given the price for a gun not made overseas I am still very impressed! I just wish the SR1911 was legal in CA.

Comparing to a Glock 17? You got to be kidding, The Glock is sure as hell not the standard that other semi autos are judged against.
bill5074 7 months ago
@bill5074 I have to agree with you. Every gun should be regarded in it's own. Also, saying a P95 is slightly less accurate than a Glock is a bit bogus. It depends on what gun you are used to and have more time with. A gun is only as accurate as the shooter. Every gun is unique, and every shooter is unique.

@bigstabby Not necessarily. Shooting different guns from a bench rest will definitively reveal the differences in accuracy as it no longer depends on the human factor.

FYI, the decocking of the hammer without firing by means of a lever was invented by Walther with the starting with the Walther PP in 1929, which went to the PPK, P38 and every Walther pistol since.

My father owns one of these. The p95 has good accuracy, but my only grievance with the gun is I find the magazine droops down in the mag well making a round get chopped instead of being put into battery. This is a big problem to me and is why I'm going to save up for a Glock.

Why do you put the ruger below the glock? I own a p95 and have shot several glocks. For me reliability and accuracy have been the same. There really is no factual basis to arbitrarily say that the glock is a notch above the ruger....i would like to see someone actually prove it.

I own a P95, it has been my backyard target shooter, and home defense handgun for several years. I have never experienced a jam or misfire. For reliability I would put it on par with any handgun on the market. For home use the P95 delivers and then some. It's a quality handgun at a very reasonable price. The would be thief that tried to steal a ATV out of my pole building a few winters back didn't seem to mind either. His excuse? "I was just trying to warm my hands" .

@valdostastate77 Really? I hear that trigger is like 6lbs, which is pretty heavy for a "striker" pistol. Yeah, I heard they are not exactly a good primary weapon.

savemoneyongas 1 year ago
Kinda dumb question: With one in the chamber and the hammer decocked, is it safe to carry holstered with the safety lever off (relying upon the double-action trigger pull as a safety)? The idea being, of course, that one could then draw and be ready to fire immediately without having to click off the safety lever. I really like this pistol, but the slide-mounted safety bugs me because it's hard for my thumb to reach and is backwards from a 1911 (which is down for fire, up for safe).

RDNKThrasher 1 year ago
@darkwriter77 When you are stressed, unless you practice alot, you will screw it up when you pull to shoot. You will not remember to take the safety off to fire and will be standing there pulling the trigger and nothing will happen. Hence why glock and XD are so popular, you simply pull the trigger. The last think you ever want is to pull to shoot a threat, pull the trigger and then fumble with the safety. The gun will not go off as long as you follow proper safety rules.

BlackSpade72 1 year ago
@BlackSpade72 um since the early 80s every single gun has a firing pin drop safety, including glock and xd as well as ruger. Unless you buy a 1911 from the 30s, your not going to have your weapon go off from dropping it, even if it falls on the hammer or striker. I think you mean hammer de cocked, not closed? Unless you train with a gun that has a manual safety, you wont remember to flick it off when the time comes. Keep the safety off and your booger hook out of the trigger guard lol.
