Finally Got me a Ruger :)
I Finally found me a Nice used Ruger P89dc gun at the gun shop today and couldnt resist, my brother had one and in fact it was the first handgun i ever shot when i was 17. Am so happy and cant wait to get to the range. And since my b-day is next month, i think i will have to ask for some ammo and some more Mags

Re: Finally Got me a Ruger :)
That gun is a tank!! I had one back in the early 90s and it never missed a beat. You will be very happy.
It tends to like real 9mm ammo. Stay away from weaker ammo. If you have problems with a brand just stay away from it.. Have fun and we require pics, or it never happened....... |

Re: Finally Got me a Ruger :)
I agree, good buy. Those are good pistols with the right ammo. Ive had mine
for "several" years, and had no problems AT all with it. It's never missed a beat.
