BNIB Ruger P89DC, store it or fire it?

[Fixmy59bug]

So a friend of mine has a brand new in box never been fired Ruger P89DC that I will be getting for very low out of pocket.



My brother tells me I should get it and store it. This gun does not appear to be a collectors item like his King Cobra CCL, so I don't see why it should be a safe queen.

Am I missing something or should I get it and enjoy a brand new gun for essentially free?

A Ruger P-series is about as much of a future collectible as a Toyota Tercel.
I'd just shoot the snot out of it.

Hey man don't knock the tercel

[Fixmy59bug]

Thank god...

I really wanted to shoot the balls off of this thing...

They ARE GREAT GUNS though. Just not collectable (you'll be able to sell it anytime - used or NIB, but not get a ton of money for it).

I'll never sell my P90... And I shoot better groups with my P90 than any other semi-auto I've ever held..

Good job - enjoy it and you can't wear it out!

Someone sold one near me a few weeks back saying he'd put 4,000 rnds thru it, and it looks just like that one!

Shoot the thing and shoot it often.

Shoot it. Definitely. I have the P95DC, these things are pretty much indestructible and are NOT collector guns. Have fun with it, IF you have any ammo to shoot out of it.

[orangeusa]

These guns suck. Sell it to me.

I just sold the exact model to someone here for $300 with three 15 re-build mags and 1 ten round mag.

I miss that handgun. It feels a tad akward and is pretty big but shoots sooooooo awesome.

It's supposedly a low end semi but i used to put a whole mag in a ragged 1" hole with it.

I have a P89DC as well. Bought it new in 1993. There is only a $50 - $75 difference in value between used and BNIB. Shoot that bad boy!

[Foxsweep]

The ammo you shoot out of it is worth more than the gun! Sad times have come down to this!

[slipshodphotog]

I just bought one of these used. What a great gun to shoot with nice small groupings. Shoot that sucker!

[redhemi]

Shoot it and enjoy it then shoot it some more and enjoy it some more because it will never be a collectable. I have a P94 9mm that I bought unshot and enjoy shooting it. Enjoy and be safe.

They go for about 300 new, had one for 15 years and sold it for what I paid for it. Wish I would of just kept it as a beater gun, always went bang but had a bad trigger and is a bit heavy and ugly.
