I had one. P95DC. Decock only model.
I hated it. Clunky, heavy, poor trigger. Only thing I liked about it was no safety and ambidextrous mag release so I could look cool dropping mags with my middle finger. Unloaded it for $400 and bought a used Glock gen 3 for $350. This was 15 years ago. I like Rugers in general just not a fan of the P series autos. I'd look at a newer generation of Ruger autos if you want a Ruger. |

The first firearm I owned was a P85(Same gun, just metal frame) when I was 21. It was an old beater when I bought it. It was ugly, heavy, but stupid reliable. I traded it off a while later when I found our true savior, Glock, but I always wanted to replace it. I replaced it with a P95 last year because I got a smoking deal on it. Great gun.
$400 was on a the high side a year ago but I see Hi-points selling for $300 used right now so it's probably an OK price in todays market.  Attached File |

I have an old p94. Big, blocky and ugly but has never once failed to go boom. Think I paid 400 for it used in Cali.

No not really unless you want to collect it. Nothing
special it shoots that's about. |

They are robust guns and great shooters,in my opinion. They are overbuilt but there is nothing wrong with that for what they are. Price wise, if you like it get it but other than that, there is nothing really special about them, at least for collecting. Prices are everywhere now with guns and there is no rhyme or reason.

I have one and like the others noted it's a tank. But it fits my hand really good and it's as reliable as a stone axe. I will admit I never CCW it, I don't compete with it, and I don't shoot it all that often. But I do keep it in my office.

Not for $400. But I would buy one at $300. Actually, saw two on them locally for sale at $500 for both, or $300 each.
Thought about it, but it's at the bottom of the list. I actually had one and sold it years ago. Nothing special. I like my SR9 better, some who shot it , felt it was easy to handle and surprisingly accurate. I would take this over P95 anytime really. |

Well, in the current market you won't find a P95 in that condition w/box for $300.00. Sure, it's somewhat bulky compared to current day offerings but they're accurate enough and dead reliable. If it's as good as you say it is I wouldn't hesitate to buy it for four "bills." I have the .45 version of it (P97DC) and it just runs and runs.
Good luck.... |

As everyone else said, they are big, bulky, heavy and ugly but all that aside they are built tough and will likely outlast you. The days of a $300 P series are over in my opinion and $400 is an acceptable price for one in very good condition.

The P series Rugers are tanks, ugly, cumbersome, and will fire any 9mm you can find. When I was a poor Marine, we used to sneak out to the pistol ranges and look for rounds, we almost always found at least 50 rounds. Ugly, tarnished, but the Ruger never had an issue firing them.
The Rugers are a solid pistol, grab one if you see one for sale, they just work. |

Ask and you will be given. Local shop has one P95 SS in excellent condition and one mag for $250 (yes two hundred fifty) posted on line in used section today. Gonna stop by on Monday, to see if its still there... but already sent e-mail to owner that I will take it.

I'd grab one if it was a good deal, say, $250 or so. And then I would look for a PC9 to match with it, because that's just how I do things
 .As stated, big, overbuilt, old school, but they work. |

Keep a blued one by the bedside----still have a NIB stainless one in the safe, bought right as they were discontinued. No need to break it out just yet.

This. $300 for a P95. I never liked the P series polymer framed guns. I have a P94 with 9mm and 40 slides, a P93 and P89. The metal frames bring closer to $400 |
