The P94DAO layout is purpose-built for DAO carry and duty use, with a bobbed, spurless hammer and no slide-mounted safety or decocker levers. Controls are kept to the left side with a push-button magazine release and slide stop, and takedown follows the standard P-Series procedure.
The stainless-over-alloy construction balances durability and weight. A satin stainless slide sits on a matte gray aluminum-alloy frame, delivering an unloaded weight of approximately 33 oz and an overall length of about 7.5 inches.
Factory fixed 3-dot sights. The black one-piece wraparound rubber grip with a molded Ruger logo (no metal medallions) adds a secure hold, complemented by a finger-groove frontstrap.
Chambered in 9mm Luger with a 4.25 inch barrel and 10+1 capacity, this P-Series variant carries the catalog designation KP94DAO identifying the stainless-slide configuration. Slide markings include "RUGER P94DAO" and "9mm x 19," with right-side factory legend "STURM, RUGER & CO., INC., SOUTHPORT, CONN. U.S.A."
