Everything about Ruger P90

About Ruger P90

The Ruger P90 is a semi-automatic pistol of typical Ruger design, chambered in .45 ACP. The 45 Automatic is definitely the most powerful military handgun cartridge today. This is quite heavy and powerful sub-sonic round. The P90 is a scaled-up version of the P89 model, chambered with .45 ACP also with an aluminum frame. The P90 was introduced in 1991 as the company's first effort at a .45 ACP, and was in direct competition with Sig Sauer P220, Smith and Wesson's 4500 series and to a bit lesser extent Glock G21 which came out the same year.

The model P90 is considered to have above average accuracy for its price. The Ruger P90 came in multiple configurations including the P90 DC, a decocker only version with no external safety. In 2010 the model P90 was discontinued. The Davidson Special Edition of the models P89 or the P90 pistol featured a carbon steel slide, a matte gray receiver and stainless steel accents such as trigger, safety levers and if it was a "TH" variant, the Hogue rubber grips with the Ruger logo. These guns came in a Special Edition colored and labeled polymer box. Whereas similarly priced to the P90, they only included one magazine. The Ruger introduced the P90 45 in April 1991 and its commercial shipments began in early May. It was the Ruger’s first .45-caliber semi-auto pistol with a seven round magazine and also decocker-lever design.
