I guess I go against the grain but really like my P95 its reliable, tough and I hit what I aim at (Which is always a good thing lol) Until I get enough saved to get the SR9c I have been owb carrying this hulk. Anyone else besides me carry a full size Ruger?
currently getting my ltcf and will be using my p95 as my concealed gun.
Good. Have you got a holster yet? They a bit rare for the P95. look into the Galco..sorry I foget the exact name but its OWB and gun almost snaps into place I like it for OWB. Thinking about a CrossBreed or a Pitbull for IWB, but dont know if I should wait since its much easier to conceal in winter.Quote:

I have a P95, and for many years it was my ONLY carry gun. Back then, I didn't know much about holsters, so when I carried IWB, it was in an uncle mike's POS. For OWB I have a Galco holster (with thumbreak) but I can't remember the model. Amazingly I was able to conceal the beast easily enough.
I've since switched to a Glock 30, but I have a fondness for that gun. Probably 13 years old and still takes whatever punishment i throw at it.
IMO ruger P-series is one of the best guns ever made. Just feels so natural and shoots like a dream. I own a p90
i dont have a holster yet. i probably can just get a belly band from a friend but its not really the one i want. better than nothing for now. its great to carry large guns. if you run out of ammo we can use the gun as a club. its heavy and serves these purposes. can throw it tooQuote:

I carry the P95 pretty much daily. It's a great reliable gun that goes bang every time. If I go somewhere where I need to make sure I'm really concealing I carry my Kel-Tec PF9.
I seem to agree with the majority so far; I carry a P95 almost constantly, in a Crossbreed SuperTuck (which makes all the difference, IMO). It is quite concealable, and when properly supported and weight-distributed by the holster, hardly noticeable in terms of weight and pressure. I also have carried it in the Fobus paddle, but it's little big for concealing OWB, I think. I like the P95 because I'm 6'5" with big mitts, and the beefy grips fit me better than guns with a smaller mag. The P95 was a little balky on the feeding ramp when I first shot; I used to get a jam or stovepipe virtually every mag of 15, but after polishing the ramp a bit and putting 100-150 rounds through it, it smoothed out and I've had no problems, often shooting 300 rounds in succession with no hint of failure. The recoil is quite manageable too, despite the polymer frame.
I own a p90 and a p95 (actually the p95 is the wifes). I carry the p90 daily. During the week in a Fobus paddle holster sometimes open sometimes concealed. I know it prints badly, I've just got to the point I don't care. At church or other formal occasions, I conceal the p90 in an uncle mikes Iwb. I'm 6'0" 225. I have over 1000 rounds through both and both perform flawlessly.
I don't have a P-95, but I do carry the full size P-85. I don't find the size a problem. I usually carry in an OWB holster, but sometimes I just stick it behind my back sans holster. Sometimes I put it in a fanny pack otr a small military style shoulder bag. It all depends on the situation. I'm a big Ruger fan, all their weapons seem pretty reliable. This weapon has a high capacity and the de-cocker type safety. I really like that feature. I've had this gun for many years and never had a problem with it. Full size is a good way to go. (The only Ruger I don't carry regularly is my .44 Blackhawk. Now there's a full size for ya!)
Wife liked hers. I'm not a fan of the slide-mounted safety.
carry the sr9 daily.... trying to get my mitts on the sr9c but funds may prevent that..
Took a friend to buy his first gun today. Had a used xd .40 for 350 and I told him 2 jump on it. While we were waiting he noticed one of these p95s brand new for the same price. He's totally new to guns hence I came along to help him and awnser questions for him. Well I asked to look at the gun and while handling it noticed it had sweet features for the price. SA/DA, nice hammer, decocker and a really good SA and not bad DA. I was impressed. Me and the shop guy share a love for s&ws but both hate the sigmas lol. He started bashing the shit out of the p95, saying how bad it was. From the feel of it I couldn't believe it. I would Def take it over the sigma? My question is, does anyone have any bad experiences with this gun. From what I've read its all good on here. Thinking about buying one if the price is around low 200s lol.
I carry a P94 and I love it. When it is cold, I have a DeSantis Thumb Break Scabbard under my jacket. When it is warmer, I use a Crossbreed Supertuck. Between the two, no one knows they are there.
I was hoping that maybe one day Blackhawk would release a Serpa holster for the Ruger P-Series, but I guess I will have to use the DeSantis for OC until they finally release one.
I carry the P95 daily. IMO it is a great gun, a little hard to cc. I will use it for winter carry because it does print in just a tee shirt. I carry it at around 3 o'clock in a Crossbreed super tuck, does anyone have a better system so that it wont print as much? I Love the feel in my hand and it shoots great.
I carry all my P-series Rugers...I don't care if I print or not.
My screen name is a testament to how I feel about these Rugers.
Sure it doesn't have the crisp sound of tightly toleranced machined parts like others but the thing works every single time without fail. That's why my Rugers are the work horses of my arsenal.
Damn right, i remember there first P85 when it came out. Great auto at a good price. They were selling like hot cakes back then alot of LEOs were starting to purchase them.Quote:

No disrespect to her whatsoever. But Ruger dropped the P85 from thier line for awhile, and revised it years later. I am happy to see this is not happening to the Glock.
I quess ruger had a harder time of it back then, then glock is now.
I carry my full size p89 every day. I originally bought the gun to be a Duracoat test dummy. After I got home and cleaned it up, I took it in the woods to see how it shot. I must say, I'm immensely impressed with this gun. It refuses to jam, has a good D/A trigger, and it is REALLY accurate. I just got it a few months ago, so I haven't had a chance to carry it in the warmer months. It hides in the interior pocket of my Carhartt jacket quite nicely. I think this gun is a great concealed carry weapon.
They do make serpa holsters for the p-series. 3 different p-series. It doesnt always have to be the exact model. I found this out when i test fitted my S&W CS45 into a serpa made for a 5900 S&W. It was an exact fit and i bought it. Except for the fact that my gun is a little shorter so I meticulously used my dremel and cut off the extra length. Came out real nice. Bring your gun into your local gunstore that carries serpa holsters and test fit your p series in any of the p-series holsters. I could almost guarentee it will fitQuote:
