Ruger P97 DC


This and the P95 appear all but identical superficially and are very robust and reliable platforms. The polymer ''P'' series however are not going to win beauty contests and are somewhat ''chunky''.

If that is acceptable then all is well, because functionally this is a platform which utilizes DA/SA with a decocker and so makes for a very safe carry option. Perhaps the biggest downside is the extreme difference between the very long DA pull and the very short SA pull. This is however something that can be adapted to with practice.

This P97 has eaten all it was ever given! The Hogue Handall addition makes for a much better feel to the grip.
