I owned a Ruger P90 in .45acp with safety/decocker. This was their full size model, just like the P89. Here are the Pros and Cons:
[b]Pros:][/b]
..Reliable-would shoot all types of ammo from HP/SWC/and all RN bullets.
..Great customer service-They fixed a spring even thou I broke it
..Inexpensive--$305 with standard finish and one mag
[b]Cons:[/b]
..Average accuracy at best
..Fat--wide frame and wide grip
..Top heavy--poly frame and steal slide made gun feel "funny" during recoil action of slide
..poor handling--the grip had not enough texture to provide a decnt grip, pistol would easily slide from hand. Addition of a Hogue grip is almost mandatory.
I haven't owned a CZ75 but have handled them. They are a lot like a Browning HP, slim, nice angled grip, all metal frame, and better craftmanship. They are only about $375 in my area and worth the extra doolars compared to the Rugers IMHO.
I agree that you should educate your wife about safeties, I personnal hate them. I prefer a strong first D/A pull as a safety measure. I would hate to ever be in the situation were I needed to pull the trigger on my pistol and have it not work because I forgot to take the safety off. In high stress situations that is an easy thing to forget.
Went I really want high safety I just keep the mag full but the chamber empty.......can't get much safer than that[:D}
