My Latest Project!! P95

[Nosidda Zneas]

decided to give my Ruger P95 a clean new look

bought this puppy from my Bro in-law for only $100

and it shoots great!

ruger does make some good guns don't know the reason for the bad rep. i know that resale value is not high but i don't plan on selling it anyway and from what i'm told they have excellent customer service

Alumahyde II
O.D. Green, Matte Black

 

[Mags]

Looks good! NIce job.

 

[Texshooter]

That looks great.

It's work 275 bucks man. You made out. I've got 4 factory mags, 3x10 rnd, and 1x15 rnd I would be interested in selling you.

Let me know what you think?

 

[MCgunner]

You stole it. I had a P95 for a while, good guns. I still have a P85 and a P90. That P90 is friggin' awesome, but it's a little porky. It's so accurate and reliable, though, it makes up for the mass. It's relatively light at 33 ounces as the grip frame is aluminum. I carry it occasionally in a Sparks Summer Special, same holster held my P95 an the P95 was lighter and easier to carry all day.

I love my p95s! I do like that finish is that duracoat?

 

[sagebrushjim]

Nice Look... I like the P95's ... Mine has been very reliable ...

 

[David E]

Looks good !

I put skateboard tape on the frontstrap of mine and it really stays put during rapid fire.

Looks great! I have a P95 and been thinking about dressing it up. I may just steal that look.

 

[Nosidda Zneas]

go ahead! recently i have become infatuated with coating my guns and finally took the plunge into my pistols which seem more delicate to me

 

[bearmgc]

OOOh, Nice! Don't tell anyone what you paid for that P95, or they'll tell you its junk....NOT! Ya done good.

 

[Mr.P345]

I havent heard of ruger having a bad reputation except for the SR9 model. The P95 is a tank. Reliable as hell. You did a great job on that. Super steal too.

 

[1KPerDay]

Looks great. I'm not usually a fan of 2-tone but that is quite attractive. well done

 

[Avenger29]

Rugers rep is not due to their pistols, but Bill Ruger's attitude.

The ruger autos are generally pretty decent (especially if you are on a budget), and if they have any issues, Ruger's CS is good. Take advantage of it.

 

[possom813]

A little off topic, but are the grips built onto the frame of the p95? I've a p89 that I replaced the grips with hogue.

I had just hadn't thought about it, and that's what it looks like to me. I've never handled the p95 I don't guess, or if I did, I don't remember the way the grips were attached.

 

[Nosidda Zneas]

yeah the grips are one solid polymer piece

 

[Geneseo1911]

Looks very nice. I'm not a huge P95 fan, but that looks very good. For the price you paid, I'd have been all over it. Nice score and nice paint job.

 

[Nosidda Zneas]

thanks! from my experiences with aluma-hyde on my ak, my two sks's one yugo and the other a d-model and this pistol and a soon to be o.d.'d shotgun i have been extremely impressed with its durability and look when fully cured, well worth the $14 a can and i have had engine paint on my ak before i re-did it and was very pleased with it but this (aluma-hyde) blows it outta the water!

The only negatives I know about the older Ruger P series is that they tend to be chunky and a bit clunky looking, and their resale price is low. Though the low resale price isn't a bad thing if you want one.

 

[Elvishead]

What did you do to restore it? Wipe it down with a wet rage?

 

[czrami9]

This is a very underrated gun. It is a tank and will last you a long, long time. I think the biggest drawback to these is their looks. I hate OD green and tan guns, but what you did to this one looks really, really nice. You improved over the look from the factory in my opinion. Great job.

 

[ThePunisher'sArmory]

Why does everyone say these are "ugly" and "clunky" guns i think they are beatiful and have wanted one since they came out. Well the grip is a little big for my, and smaller hands but so is the m-9 and i manage.

 

[czrami9]

ThePunisher'sArmory:

Because everyone has opinions. I think the p95 lacks personality and I love what this guy did to his! Really changed the whole look of the gun.

Is that magazine factory mag? The floor plate has a different look seems...
