Same here. When I go to gun shows I always look for a Kel-Tec or Ruger P-series under $150 to use as a truck gun. For that job, I want a cheap 9mm that works, not something that sits there looking pretty.

Shot 300 rounds of Monarch, Winchester, and federal 9mm FMJ.

Two flaws: One is the trigger pull. It is WAY too long. Though, after shooting about 20 rounds, I got used to it and was .. somewhat satisfied.Two is the slide not staying back. I suspect it might be the magazine. I only have one right now, but going to invest in another one here soon. It only happened 3 times out of 300 rounds.

The pic is only of Monarch ammo (FMJ steel). The right side is my Sig P238.

good shooting! Looks like a good investment to me!

Thanks, man!

BTW, this is a Shoot n C that only has 50 rounds on it. I just kept puting one on top of the other, on top of the other..

My thought exactly

For the price, that's hard to beat! Let us know if you ever end up having it duracoated or somthing similar.

Yes, I will. I've been thinking about it and I just might send it back to get it refinished. It's about 50 bucks from Ruger, but I think it'll be worth it. Thing is built really well. I'm MORE than happy with the purchase after shooting it. Darn fine gun if I do say so myself.

Trust me, I'll keep y'all updated. Even if I have to resurrect an old thread

Any time you want to get rid of that horrible investment for what you have in it let me know. I will be a nice guy and get you out from under it

So where did you find this thing? I wouldn't mind finding something like that and spending sometime fixing it up. I see some vendors with used guns but nothing with a deal like that.

Was my childhood friend father's gun. He didn't take care of it, but knew it shot well. Since I've known his father for quite some time, he let it go very cheap.

Couldn't pass it up.

I've never heard anyone say a bad word about a P89 or P95. It belongs in the car, not the collection. It won't be one you'll be showing to your friends on a velvet pillow in the case. It'll be the one you need, when you need it. My FIL had a P89 that had never been fired and he just gave it away to his son (who may never fire it), instead of to me. I still won't have him over to the house.

It's nice in a farm implement kind of way.
