Good price on an 30 year old Ruger P-Series

[tercel89]

I was just taking a break at work and stopped in to check the used guns at a gun store in town. In all those polymer guns for sale I saw a huge chunk of aluminum and stainless steel. It was a Ruger P89 made in 1991 , the year I graduated school LOL . Looks to have had around less than 1,000 rds through it . Hardly any wear on the barrel or anywhere. It's the very early P89 with the single-sided decocker.  The best thing is that is that I paid $199. If you know Ruger P-Series pistols , these things are like old AK-47's of the pistol world. They just run and run. A lot of reloaders use them to test hot rounds since they can stand a lot of pressure. My wife wasn't too happy when she saw a charge on the bank card for $199 LOL but I couldn't pass it up . Just thought I'd share. Have a great day.

Congrats! Good score. You are making me want to try one of them. lol

Oddly I have never owned one.

I would have done the same thing. They are reliable as you can get. They are just big and heavy.

Great deal.

Tank of a pistol. Love them! Congratulations on the score!

LOL! I saw one of those sell for $550 at an auction about a month back.

Good score!

Yeah , I'd have a hard time buying a P-Series for more money than when they were new , even though they are worth it. There are still good deals out there , you just got to be consistant and keep looking.

Congratulations you got a deal on that one! I had one many years ago!

Only P-series I have left is the P95.

Very nice. Congrats. They sure are built like a tank. 

[Quavodus]

People hate on Rugers but, they are built stout, at least a lot of the older ones made out of that stuff called steel.

Nice find and certainly priced right.

Great tank of a gun. The first pistol I’d ever owned with a decocker. I remember the first time I dropped that decocker, I think my pants were a little damp afterwards. Super find.

Never should have let mine go but it went to family. Great find.......now sell it to me for $230. That should cover tax and a few tacos for lunch.
