My first purchase! (Pics inside)

[Guest cowboy20th]

Well I finally did it today, took the plunge on a new ruger p95. Much to the dismay of my girlfriend I might add, though she is starting to come around. She has already taken my quick course in firearm safety and handling. I bought it up in Joelton and had a great exprience, real good price too. Now if only I can scare up some ammo in these parts, anybody know of some, I live in east Nashville.

And the Pics

Nice purchase! I had a P95 a long time ago. If you live in East Nashville, you'd better get some ammo with a quickness!

You may be closer to Gun City on Murfreesboro Rd. I would call first to check on their 9mm stock. Be prepared to pay a hefty price even for target FMJ's.

Hey cowboy, need me to buy you a new "Gator" hat??

[Guest GatorsRule1976]

oh, btw, nice gun!

[Guest Jennings382]

I have around 50 reloads that I may let go for a small price. BUT I'm in West Knox!

[Slappy]

I just love a happy ending. Congrats on the Ruger! I would suggest that she take a permit/intro to handguns course. Seems to me, the female type tend to listen better to someone other than their spouse/SO.

[Guest cowboy20th]

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. If anyone would like to send me their favorite collegiate hat I will be sure to use it to break in my new pistol with. LOL. That goes twice for anything from the swamp! (BTW send ammo too)

[Guest bkelm18]

Nice choice. Rugers are good guns. I like the P series. They are built like tanks and go bang every time.

[mousegunner]

Dittos to bkelm18. The P95 is a great, durable gun, and will give you reliable service for many years. I used a P95 shooting my permit to carry course. It's accurate, too. Good buy!

[TnTut]

I've had one since '98 and love it. Mine has never let me down.

[musicman]

Congrats on the new gun! Those P series are great shooters, like everyone has already said. I, like you, had a girlfriend who wasn't wild about my decision to join the ranks of the armed. She fussed for about a year until I finally got her to go to the range with me. Well... now she's got a .357 in her nightstand and she took her permit class two weeks ago! She didn't even make a fuss when I bought some powder for reloading this week, as she knows that powder is for her to be able to shoot, too!

Also, the other poster is right in that she'll probably take instruction from someone else better than she will from you. I live close to TGO David and we've become friends. He and his wife and me and my wife have gone to dinner, etc, a few times, so she's comfortable with them. We finally all got to go shooting together a about a month ago, and David and Sandy showed her some of the very same things I had shown her a hundred times, but she never "caught on" with my instruction. David showed her basically the same stuff, and she was shooting like a champ! She really learned trigger control (finally) snd she has NO flinch now. She's better than me!

Anyways, all that is to say that if you can find another couple to shoot with, I think you'll find that she enjoys it much more, and will be able to learn much faster with outside help. Just don't pair her up with some macho chauvinistic tacti-jerk. That would probably be counterproductive.

Have fun!

Very nice purchase, the best value in full size 9mm IMHO. It is my full size now since I had to let my Beretta 92 go to help fund the purchase of my EMP. They were kind of redundant guns both full size 9mm and the Beretta had better 2nd market value, but believe me I had no issue keeping the Ruger P95 over the Beretta 92 at all. Plenty acurate for what they are for and you can't hurt em. Great decision you will be pleased. Congrats +1 to you

[ftncityfatboy]

the lock that came with it is bigger than the gun!!!!

[Guest boudreaux]

Cowboy20th, nice purchase. I'm going to get one in a few months myself. Keep us posted on how you like it. Ho yeah, about that hat. I can get you a great deal on an LSU purple and gold one.

[Guest m&pc9]

Hey cowboy, need me to buy you a new "Gator" hat??

Please send me a gator hat. My toilet is broke and I need a good place to take a crap. O send 2 I need to cover it up also .

BTW that is a purty gun.
