The barrel is marked "9mm x 19," the right side of the slide carries "RUGER P89DC" with a "DECOCK ONLY" legend, and it uses a double-stack 17+1 magazine system. Serial prefix "304-" aligns with the noted production period.

- One 17-round steel double-stack magazine (branding not visible)
The P89DC configuration provides decock-only operation with no manual safety. It runs a traditional DA/SA trigger system with an exposed spurred hammer and a push-button magazine release. Ambidextrous slide-mounted decocking levers support left- or right-hand use.
Construction centers on a durable aluminum alloy frame with a hard-coat finish and a conventional closed-top slide design with a right-side ejection port. The grips are two separate black polymer panels with Ruger eagle medallions, each retained by a coin-slot screw, and a lanyard loop is integrated at the base of the grip.
Sight alignment is straightforward with white-dot sights, combining a ramped front blade and a square-notch rear in a dovetail, with windage adjustment on the rear unit.
Chambered in 9mm Luger, this full-size pistol uses a 4.5 inch barrel marked "9mm x 19" and a double-stack magazine system for a 17+1 capacity. Markings include a right-side "RUGER P89DC" rollmark with a "DECOCK ONLY" legend, and the serial prefix is 304-.
