Manufactured in 1996 in the United States, this P89 aligns with Ruger’s P-Series lineage and was discontinued by 2009. The serial range corresponds with 1996 shipment per Ruger’s published tables, placing it firmly in the mid-1990s production era.
The pistol presents a two-tone finish with a matte stainless slide over a matte gray aluminum alloy frame. Black polymer grip panels with Ruger logos provide a clean, durable interface, and a spurred hammer complements the classic P-Series profile.
Its operating system is DA/SA, hammer-fired, and short-recoil with a locked-breech. Controls include an ambidextrous, slide-mounted safety/decocker and a left-side, standard magazine release. The trigger is smooth-faced and curved for consistent control.
Sight and slide details are straightforward: a fixed 3-dot arrangement with a pinned/dovetailed front (single white dot) and a dovetailed, drift-adjustable rear (two white dots). The slide has rear serrations only and uses an external extractor for positive extraction.
Dimensions and capacity are practical for a full-size sidearm: a 4.5 in barrel, approximately 7.75 in overall length, and an unloaded weight of about 32 oz. This example includes one 10-round magazine.
