![]() That damned thing was a tack driver! I could alternate between the Ruger and the Kimber and would be hard pressed to tell which I used when looking only at the target. It further noted that there was no charge for this service. The pistol was returned to me by the factory, with a Yellow shop ticket that said a new barrel was "fitted and tested" and now met the functionality it was capable of. If this was how it was performing I would be satisfied. I finally got tired of analyzing it and sent it to Ruger with a note, that I wanted it to be capable of performing with the advertised accuracy they stated in their original claims for the pistol. I could shoot my Kimber at each distance, and it was obvious something was wrong with the P85. I handed it off to a few people and they found the same thing. Surprisingly, I couldn't tighten up the group even at close distances. I tried shooting at distance, and slowly closer and closer. I soon found it had a peculiar problem with grouping. It was an easy shooter and as mentioned above and fairly large.

The circled hole is from another pistol but apparently I shoot them about the same way: I made it a little too touchy and the wind beat me to knocking it over most times. ![]() Stepping out, I had bowling pins, at about 45 yards, as well as this homemade knockdown tombstone target. Function was flawless with pistol, all ammo and magazines. I was using Mec-gar 17 round and extended 20 round mags. That was steel to the right of me.here was steel to the left of me (17 yards): But if you are a buyer - Wow! What great value! They are just not "in fashion" enough to demand much I guess. I bought this used off a gun auction site for $222.22. Slim, trim, small and light pistols may be chic these days with the explosion of CCW licenses, but when the globe gets "end-of-the-world zombie apocalypse" ugly - and you may have to shoot until the magazine runs dry and then bludgeon undead shamblers with your sidearm, I want this:Ībove is my 1993 (first year production) P89!
