Perhaps you misunderstand how the Ruger P series pistol safetys actually work. The safety version will STILL safely decock the pistol, but can be left on safety, whereas the decocker only has NO manual safety, and is merely decock ONLY. The decocker lever will NOT stay in decock position but the safety will remain on safety until taken off safety. Anyway, I consider the safety/decocker better than decocker only but that is just MY preference.

I would recommend the P95 with decock onlyand not a manualsafety if you go with a P95.
I understand very well how the safety works on the RugerP95. You canNOT carry it cocked at locked. If you havea model with the safety, you musttake the safety off after you decock thefirearm. I don't like thisfor a gun that could beused for self defense. If the P95it is in double action mode (hammer down) you have a long, hard trigger pull to fire. This is a safety in itself. However, the best safety is keeping your finger off the trigger until you are on target and ready to shoot.

And no problems getting 9mm ammo. It's dirt cheap too. Much better than $0.50 - $2.00 a bullet for .45 ACP!! Shoot 50 rounds in a few minutes at the range and walk away down $25.00. 50 rounds is not a lot! 9mm on the other hand is cheap enough to fire 3-4 times that much for the same price. 150-200 rounds for $25-$30. Makes me jealous and wish I still owned a 9mm.
Where are you seeing those prices? About the cheapest I've found is the Winchester White Box Ammo from Wal-Mart which is $19.99 or whatever. It's $19 something for 100 rounds. I saw a sale at Dicks and if you bought a whole case you could get it slightly cheaper but not much.
HTM,

The price gap between 9MM and 45 ACPfor factory loaded ammohas really shrunk - especially the last few months.

I have seen the SR9 several places online where people said the SR9 was under 400 (gun reviews, various other websites). So yesterday I was in the mall and stopped by Gander Mountain to see if they had one, and their price is an even 500. Are the prices higher because i live in the socialist state of new york, because i was at Gander Mountain, or both?

IMO, GM can be very high on just about everything - espcially firearms and ammo. It is not uncommon for the same thing to occur outside of NY.

Exactly, those are the prices I am referring to. $20 for 100 rounds of 9mm. $25 for 50 rounds of .45ACP. That is 2.5x cheaper. A friend just told me he bought 50 rounds of 9mm for $8.99, which is almost 3x cheaper. I guess I should correct what I said, as I just threw that first number of 3-4x out without thinking too hard about it. You can get 2-3 times as much ammo for the same price. Not 3-4 times as much.

I can STILL reload for for my .45acp for MUCH less than you can buy ANY factory 9mm.

6 months or so ago I called around and got prices and I found one I think was $419 and one was $417 or something like that. One was $429. Some weren't that good but I didn't find any cheaper. Now like I said that was 4-6 months ago and gun prices seem to have gone up like crazy so I'm not sure what you could find them for now.
