Ruger P90

[Parrothead]

My wife got me a P90 for christmas and i really like it so far. She heard me over tell someone that i wanted a full size .45 that wasnt polymer. I think she did alright Anyway, i'm having a hard time finding feedback, info, holsters, etc for this gun. I'm not going to carry it in public but i would like to have a holster for when i go hiking (i feel somewhat "underpowered" with "just" a G26.) Any suggestions? Also, any ammo these really like or dont like? My first .45 and i'm already in love. 1911 for my birthday in February:angel:

Oh, in my opinion, the houge wrap around grips make all the difference in appearance and feel of the p90.

i have one.. its ate any FMJ ive feed it, and ive only used speer gold dots with it .. idk to much about holsters.. im sure safariland or someone like that would have something for your OWB uses.

I also got one for Christmas...2 years ago. I did have a hard time finding holsters, I ended up with a comp-tac IWB kydex for normal carry. I am looking into the Galco Fletch, since it has a hammer strap on it.

I am extremely happy with the Comp-Tac holster, it has a clip on the side, so I can wear it with or without a belt. I have worn it with drawstring beach shorts, and it worked like a champ!

As far as ammo, I have put all kinds through my P90, and it eats it all.

I use a cheapo Uncle Mike's OWB for hiking and such (P85). And yes, the Hogue wrap-around is the coup de grace for these.

Check out the shop ruger website for holsters. They have a few options. Here's the link to one of them.

For range use and hiking, I like Fobus. Its light, cheap, and durable. P90-and-P97-Fobus-Holster-Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc.

A P90 is a great gun, i dont own one myself but i have a P89 and love it , I use an Uncle Mikes size 15 i think and it works great and has the screws to tight and loosen the retention.

I know the P90 is a bit longer, etc. than it's 9mm cousin, the P95. That said, I carry my P95 'in public' pretty often and find that it both carries and hides pretty well in a leather, belt slide type holster. The belt slide I have is an inexpensive one from Ross Leather that I bought at Frontier Firearms. It was originally molded for a revolver but I didn't like the way the revolver carried in it so I wet it with warm water and remolded it to fit the P95. It wears quite comfortably and holds my P95 kind of high on the beltline and tight to my side enough that I can hide it with just an unbuttoned, untucked shirt as long as the shirt is made of a heavy enough material (for instance, I usually use a denim shirt to cover it.) Also, because the P95 goes in pretty much right up to the grip and holds it with a bit of a cant, retention is quite good but drawing the pistol is still really easy. You might want to consider that style of holster - especially if you change your mind about not carrying the P90 in public.

Other than that, I have to say that if you are not worried about concealment, Lumber_Jack's idea about a FOBUS is a good one. It isn't a direct comparison, obviously, but I sometimes carry my P3AT in a FOBUS when I have to have a really small primary (I only pocket carry when it is the only thing that will work for a particular situation) and I like the way it works. I also carried the P11 I used to have in a FOBUS and it always worked well.

The P90 is one of my most missed guns . I wish I had it back . It was the decocker-only version . Some people make fun of them for being heavy and bulky , but they are reliable!!!!

The P90 is the T34 of handguns. It is a tank but a very good tank. I wouldn't make fun of Rugers but I do send them suggestions that they sell them by the pound. The other advantage is if you run out of ammo, you can bludgeon them to death with it....try that with as G26 or a Keltec.
