Ruger P89 Review And forum discussion

I've been wanting to get something for home defense for a while now, but something I could go shooting with once in a while. I came acrossed a used Ruger P89 9mm last night for $300. It looked to be in good shape, wasn't a polymer frame (which I don't like) and fit the contour of my hand rather well.

Anyone own one of these? Any experience with them? Is this a good price? What are some characteristics about this gun I should know of? I haven't shot a whole of of handguns, but have had plenty of experiences with rifles and shotguns.

I REALLY don't want to spend more then $350, and would like something very basic, effective and reliable.
