- I owned and carried one for about 9 months. To be honest, I hated it.
- It was a .45, and it was da/sa, but that was about all it had going
- for it. It isn't that particularly cheap compared to many 1911 clones
- out there. Don't pay more thant $325 for a new one.
-
- Dislikes:
-
- Lousy trigger, really lousy, like out of the box you it felt like
- there was grit in the workings, this was true for all the P90DCs I
- tried.
-
- Inconsistant shooting. I'm not a great shot, but with my 1911 I can
- put 9 out of 9 on an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of paper at 30 feet, with my
- Taurus I can do 16 out of 16. With the Ruger I was lucky to hit the
- damn paper. Plus mine shot *way* low. Like about 8" at 30 feet, no
- matter what I fed it.
-
- Weight. For a gun with only 7+1 it was very heavy, plus it was huge.
-
- Ugly. (IMHO)
-
- Likes:
-
- It is DA/SA.
-
- The decocker was nice, but I'm very used to letting the hammer down on
- all my guns, so it was kinda different to use a decocker.
-
- It fed very reliably, not a single jam, even with reloads. No
- problems with HPs.
-
-
- Recommendations:
-
- Stay away from this gun. It is functional, and it seems to feed
- reliably, but you can get a better gun for about the same, or a little
- more money.
