Ruger P95DC 9mm Luger Compact Semi-Auto Pistol, Stainless Slide, 1997 Production
The Ruger P95DC is one of the earliest polymer-frame entries in Ruger’s P-Series, and this 1997 example comes from the first production year. It pairs a glass-filled polymer frame with a stainless steel slide and 3.9-inch stainless barrel, delivering a durable, corrosion-resistant package. The decocker-only configuration, ambidextrous levers, and rail-less frame capture the original design that helped launch Ruger’s modern pistols.

Introduced in 1996, the P95DC marked Ruger’s first leap into polymer-frame pistols. This early production gun retains the original rail-less frame, keeping the lines compact and snag-free for carry.
The stainless steel slide features rear cocking serrations for positive manipulation and houses a bobbed external hammer that complements the double-action/single-action trigger system.
Ambidextrous decocker-only levers simplify controls while maintaining Ruger’s robust safety standards. Once decocked, the pistol is ready for a deliberate double-action first shot followed by crisp single-action resets.
A 3.9-inch stainless barrel with a 1:10 RH twist delivers reliable accuracy for duty, range, or home defense roles. The fixed three-dot sights—pinned front and dovetailed rear—offer a clear, no-nonsense sight picture.
