Scored At The Pawn Shop

[mk70ss]

Haven’t been to this pawn shop in awhile and went today. Bought this Ruger P89 9mm with box, papers, and three mags for $300 out the door.

Old School, but looks new. Nice

Love it, I’m trying to get a P90 without paying $600. I need a pawnshop score.

I have one of those. Great shooter.

Also, heavy enough that it doesn't recoil very hard so it's also great for teaching new shooters.

It was the first 9mm I rented when looking for my first gun, 23 years ago.

Nice find.

I have a P95 myself.

@mk70: Why does this never happen to me? The "P" series were some of the best guns Ruger made. Anyway, enjoy your P89!

They sure have their following!

1st 9mm I shot.

I am defiantly not in the following fan club, but glad you got what you were after!

Sweet! Jealous here. I had a P89TH that I stupidly sold off. Was as reliable as anything and accurate.

 

[Ricklin]

Score!

Very nice man, gotta love those pawnshops.

Keep the slide rails lubricated with some light grease--maybe some white lithium grease.

Very sturdy gun. I have one that likes steel cased ammo.

Just picked up a P90 yesterday. Can't wait to get it to the range for a workout!

I have a P90DC that is rock solid.

While I generally like a lot of what Ruger has made, I've never been a fan of their center fire semi auto pistols.

The ones I've used (and there have been several) have all been rugged, reliable, dependable, accurate enough, or better, and have all the beauty and appeal to me of a mud fence. Charm isn't everything, of course, performance is, but when I can find both in the same package that's what I keep.

How is the trigger pull on yours? I'm hoping you got the exception I never found. Every P89 I ever handled had a serious stacking issue. Literally, the further back the trigger was pulled, the heavier it got, while I never got to measure one, they felt pounds heavier.

The P90 (.45) I got to use didn't have that issue.

The Ruger P series are good guns in nearly every way that matters, just not my personal preference. Enjoy yours, I expect it will give you fine service.

Got my P89 years ago for doing a complete brake job on a friends MGB roadster.
