Anyone familiar with the Ruger model P95DC 9MM?

[painter777]

I've just started looking around for a Hand gun to start my daughter off with. She has roughly 100hrs experience shooting HG's with me. She'll soon be 21 and be able to take her Carry class.
My first thoughts were revolver, just because of the ease of use, but have been offered a
Ruger P95DC in 9 MM.Comes with original paperwork, 3 high cap and 2 -10rd magazines, case, lock etc. Blued slide, 4"+or- barrel". Asking price is $325.00. Only picture looks as though it's in very nice condition, But...........
I Haven't had a hands on look, he lives approx. 1 hour from here. Its being offered from a friend that I do Carbine work for members of his Gun Club.
I've just dipped into the reviews I can find about it and the word seems to be reliable with few issues being listed.
Any Pros or Cons?

So if you have the time and might be familiar with this model, any help as always much Appreciated.
Feel free to reply here, or if you prefer.... send a E-mail or PM.

Looks like the one listed in this auction....

Pros - The P95 series of pistols are utterly reliable. I have yet to see one in my shop with a complaint about functioning or broken parts.

Cons - The P95DC has no safety. It de-cocks only. When de-cocked, it will fire double action. The only way to render the pistol "safe" is to un-load it completely. On a personal note, I find the whole P95 series of pistols to be a bit bulky even though I don't have small hands; something to consider for your daughter's sake. The P345 however, with it's slimmer frame feels quite nice.

HTH,
