The P97DC is a hammer-fired, double-action/single-action design with a slide-mounted decocking lever that safely drops the hammer and returns the pistol to the fire position. It uses a push-button magazine release and an exposed ring-style hammer, with an 8+1 capacity in .45 ACP.
Construction pairs a black polymer frame with a matte stainless steel slide. The slide incorporates rear serrations and an open-top ejection port, while the barrel measures 4.25 in for a full-size profile. Ruger's linkless cam-block locking system is employed.
Sighting equipment consists of fixed 3-dot sights with a windage-adjustable rear. The grip frame is black polymer and carries the Ruger eagle medallion.
