The P95 is a fun semi-automatic handgun to shoot with a recoil that isn't too jarring. I never had any problems with it.
Guns.com posted an article on "remembering" the Ruger P95. It was produced from 1996 to 2013.
The article begins with:
Like many of you, I have a special place in my heart for movie guns from my youth. One such gun is the Ruger P series. I was first introduced to the P series by its standout Hollywood roles in ’90s hits such as “Desperado,” “True Lies,” and “Grosse Pointe Blank.” It was often the hero’s gun, and I’ve wanted to try one ever since.
I’ve been asking to test a Ruger P for years, and Guns.com finally sent me a P95 so I could see if it lives up to my imagination.
Wonder Nine
Beyond the movie hype, there is a lot to this pistol. On the surface, it might not look like much, but the P95 and the entire series of Ruger P pistols helped usher in the era of Wonder Nines in the 1980s and ’90s.
The term “Wonder Nine” generally refers to high-capacity, double-stack 9mm pistols developed in that era using modern materials or production technologies. The Glock is most famous, but over 1 million Ruger P series pistol were also produced. This was because they were considered reliable and affordable. When the P85 was released in 1987, it sold for under $300. Today, used P series guns still sell for around the same price.
