P9x variants, and the previous P95 variants
« on: November 19, 2009, 11:16:00 AM »
It seems as the ruger catalog now only has the P95 and has dropped some of the choices.  One major was the safety vs decock.  How did the safety function compared to the decock feature still included.

The safety was built in with the decock lever. Swipe down to fire I believe. I personally have the p95 dc model and it is so far been utterly reliable with any load i can throw at it.

I think the decock only version has been discontinued. With it, after you decocked the pistol, the lever returned up to the horizontal position and was ready to fire. There was no safety as such. The decock/safety version now offered keeps the decock lever down after decocking. It must manually be returned to the horizontal position for the gun to fire. My P95 is a decock only and my P94 is the safety/decock version. I personally like the decock only better, but both work fine. Never a problem with either.

Ruger seems to have stopped producing the P95 entirely, in favor of the SR9.  Other P-series pistols will probably be dropped when the SR design is adapted to .40 S&W and .45acp.  Striker designs are the wave of the future . . . I suppose that's a good thing.

I stll see the P95 offered on store shelves (I hope they didn't stop making it) but the P95DC decock only has been discontinued for sure. (And didn't they make a P-series DAO (double action only) for a while?)
That was dumb to drop the DC IMHO.  The DC model was the way to go.  No way you could forget the safety was on in a stressful situation - always ready.  I know, I know, you 1911 guys... TRAINING. But we should give ourselves every break.
Anyway, I just bought a used P97DC .45acp today, happy to have found it!  Best of the P series bunch as far as I'm concerned.
Whats up with Ruger - gun of the month now?  Is it all about marketing?
