The P85’s DA/SA action, exposed spurred hammer, and left-side push-button magazine release offer familiar, straightforward handling. The ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker and firing pin block provide user-friendly, built-in safeguards without complicating operation.
Its 4.5" stainless, bushingless tilting barrel and stainless slide pair with a matte gray anodized aluminum alloy frame for a durable two-tone finish. Fixed 3-dot sights deliver a clean sight picture with a single-dot front and two-dot rear arrangement.
Ruger engineered the P85 with investment-cast construction and an integral lanyard loop at the grip heel. Field-stripping is simple, using the P-Series method of lowering the ejector through the magazine well.
The wraparound black rubber grip with finger grooves and Ruger medallions is installed, enhancing purchase on the full-size frame. Capacity is 15+1 rounds of 9mm Luger, and this example was manufactured in the USA in 1990.
