Ruger P90DC .45 ACP Semi-Auto Pistol – 1991 Production, Two-Tone, 4.5-Inch Barrel
Built in 1991, this Ruger P90DC pairs a brushed stainless slide with a hard-coat anodized aluminum frame for a durable, two-tone finish. The “DC” suffix denotes the decocker-only variant, giving shooters a straightforward double-action/single-action trigger system without a manual safety. Chambered in .45 ACP and sized for full-service duty, the pistol offers a 10-round capacity and comes with three factory magazines.
Condition
Overall Condition: Fair – extensive signs of prior use and handling.
Bore Condition: Good – clean and well-maintained with minor wear marks; rifling remains well-defined.
A small crack is present on the slide just behind the extractor, and exterior surfaces show noticeable handling wear. Function is not impeded.
What’s Included
- Ruger P90DC pistol
- Two 10-round Ruger factory steel magazines with extended base pads
- One 7-round Ruger factory steel magazine with flush base pad
The P90 was Ruger’s first .45 ACP entry in the P-Series, and the DC model streamlines operation with bilateral decocker levers that safely lower the hammer without engaging a safety catch. This example retains its original black checkered polymer grips and fixed 3-dot sight system, offering a clear sight picture and snag-free profile.
The 4.5-inch stainless steel barrel uses a 1:16 right-hand twist for consistent accuracy with standard .45 ACP loads. Matching rear slide serrations aid in positive manipulation, while the rounded, serrated trigger face provides a secure, familiar feel in both double- and single-action modes.
A 7075-T6 aluminum alloy frame keeps weight manageable while maintaining strength. The reversible magazine release accommodates left- or right-handed shooters, and the external spur hammer allows quick visual confirmation of cocked status.
With three original magazines included and its early-production 1991 manufacture date, this P90DC delivers a solid, American-made .45 ACP package ready for range use or collection.
