I remember when Ruger first brought out their P-85 pistol. I sold so many of them that it was not even funny. And I returned a bunch of them to Ruger. I actually returned some that when shot at a chest high target at 25 yards, the bullet would strike the floor. Then there was the next P series. Not much better. It is hard to recommend a pistol when you have a bad taste in your mouth because of the history of the pistol But then I can remember how bad the S&W 39 was also.

If you are getting a 3-4 inch group at 25 yards from a Ruger then you should be happy with that. That is as good as anyone I have ever seen shoot.

My suggestion is save your money and buy a better pistol. But I am sure I will get flamed for saying that. But so be it. However I can say that I have owned and shot a few dozen P series auto's over the years. And I would never even consider letting my life depend on one of them. Tom.
