As Jes Said,
I've own mine for roughly 13 years, and in that time I have never had a problem. Very realible, Dependable & over all Great Firearm
I use to Carry it as my EDC, But have bought several new firearms over the years for EDC. Primarily carry a smaller, lighter firearm.
But you will not be Dis-satified with purchasing the P-95

My friend has a P95. I agree it's built like a tank, in that it's bulky and heavy. It does appear to be tough. The tolerances aren't very tight; it seems to fit together more loosely than my Glock, Makarov, or Kel-Tec. I wasn't a fan of the way the safety worked, but that may just be how Rugers are. For the money, it's not a bad choice.

I have a P95-DC and it is very reliable, no feed isues or malfunctions. Sort of like a Timex.......

I have owned a P85 for over 20 years and always thought a P95 was the perfect companion but when Ruger came out this year with their 1911, I again put the P95 on hold. I dont think you can go wrong with the P95.

I use my P95 to teach newbies. It is simple, easy to chamber and very little recoil. It was my choice when I shot a "Combat" course.
My wife can shoot mine and her hands are TINY

I had one for a while. Couldn't shoot it well because I couldn't reach the trigger without holding it cockeyed. I sold it and didn't regret it. Each to his/her own.
But I'd love to see a woman with tiny hands try to shoot it. I find it hard to believe. My hands are fairly broad and quite strong, but with short fingers. I was not comfortable shooting it.

I love my Ruger P95. For some reason, the recoil in this gun is less than my H&K USP. The gun seems to absorb a lot of the recoil allowing you to get back on target quicker. A very accurate and dependable gun. For concealed carry though, I carry smaller .380 caliber guns. The Ruger is heavy.

The P95 is a tank but it will fire anything I give it to eat. Double recoil springs tame the recoil very well. It is a bit clunky but it'll do the job very well.

I've been shooting a P85 for over a year now. It's built like a... large... armored vehicle... Before I got it, it spent many, many years banging around the glovebox of my uncle's Bronco... the one he drives all over his farm. It is not an especially pretty gun, but it's taken quite a beating and doesn't show any signs of failure. I've never had any problems firing it, though when my wife was learning how to shoot it she got some FTEs from limp wristing it. It took her a few times to the farm to get the feel for it, but now she really likes it. She's all of 5'2", so not exactly a big girl. It's pretty bulky for carry though, but she hates the little .380s like the LCP. For the average sized woman, I would probably recommend something in between for carry. But as far as being able to handle it, she has no problems at all.

I have a P95
I agree with the comments that the Ruger P95 9mm is built like a tank, rugged and tough and I will add that it is a chunky full size gun, it had never malfunctioned but I don't CC with it because of size. For CC I have a Bersa Thunder UltraCompact Pro 9mm and it is great for CC. Just like Ruger, rugged, reliable, well built and affordable.
