Ruger P90 spoon

I have been offered a killer deal on a Ruger P90 .45. Any one own/owned one? Opinions pro or con.

Thanks,
Bernie

Ruger's trigger pull is terrible.

They're awfully big for the number of rounds they hold. I haven't kept any that have come through the shop.

I have a stainless P89 in 9mm and I love it. I have huge hands (I am 6'6"), so I purposely chose it for its hand feel.

I might be interested in your killer deal if you pass on it and it is still available, as I would like to have a comfortable .45 for cheap.

Thanks,

JA

I have a KP90 since 1997....it has NEVER jammed and fired every type of ammo I have ever used. My Kimber has jammed, and been finicky with brands.

I keep it bedside.

Now, the trigger pull, especially on the first round is LOOONG. It is not crisp like a kimber, but, I don't trust the Kimber for my safety if that says something.

Still a decent gun, oh and I like the size.

With so many 1911's out there, for a huge variety of prices...why. Spend the money for a Colt, you will always get the purchase price back.

Absolutely agree with this, and I want one of those, too! I am just thinking if this is available for a great price, it might make a nice shooter, or nightstand spoon.

"Spend the money for a Colt, you will always get the purchase price back."

I'll bite; I'll sell all my Colt's but I want to be paid in coinage as old as the firearms.
