I have a ruger p90 .45acp. It is not as accurate as I hoped that it would be. I have read that shooters have to "break in" their guns by shooting,cleaning,shooting,cleaning... maybe up to 1 or 2 hundred rounds before the gun is broken in. Do you think that this may be the case, or may my p90 just not be an accurate pistol?

My p90 .40 has not improved in accuracy since I bought it in 1994. I never seasoned the barrel like you would a rifle, but I keep it clean. Although it' s no tackdriver, I' m satisfied with the accuracy of my .40. It' ll hit a pie plate at 25 yards every time (yeah, that' s not too specific but it' s all I need out of this type of firearm). Just guessing, but the lack of a bushing at the end of the barrel probably limits accuracy on these guns. Also, I have to fight the tendency to let the gun roll down while squeezing the trigger.

I have a P90 that I' ve had for several years and it will shoot 2 to 3 inch 5 shot groups with hand loads or factory loads from a sand bag rest. That' s good accuracy for an inexpensive 45 ACP. It still takes some degree of skill to shoot a 45 even from a sand bag. That comes from practice. I' ve been practicing with one for over 30 years. I' ve always been happy with the P90 and most other Ruger firearms.
