Re: P85

Mr. Findley: were there ever any prototypes that had Firehawk stamped on them or was that merely a concept that never made it to reality?

Re: P89P

Definitely interesting. I got into my LEO catalogs & all, to see what I could find. My LEO catalog collection isn't complete,,, but in 1989,,nothing about a P89 at all. In 1992,, they list a P89DA, KP89DA, KP89DAO. In 1993 they list a P89, KP89, P89DC, KP89DC, KP89DOA. In 1995/1996, (a combined...

Re: P89P

I was told that my first round of letters of authenticity are on the way from the records department. I am sure that there won't be anymore information than I was given via email, but maybe there will be a clue to point me in another direction? Hope springs eternal!

Re: P89P

Like I said before, cool find. I have read several books about Ruger's and have never seen nor heard of a P85P. Want to give it to me?? :twisted: LOL I have books and factory catalogs and have never heard of one either! I am currently trying to track down special Police catalogs that Ruger used to ...

Re: P89P

Here is the response that I received today from the Ruger record department: "Our records reflect that this pistol was shipped as a KP95DAOW, model 3098, stainless, P95 pistol, double-action only. Anecdotally, we understand that the original thinking was to market this pistol to Law Enforcement...

Re: KP94DLW

Ruger just auctioned one off from their collection and it sold for $1500. I have seen others for sale that have not sold for between $800 and $1200. I am not an expert, just sharing what I have seen.

Re: P89P

Here are some pictures of the mystery pistol. I have heard of P89M for the Chicago PD, but not a P89P. Linda Deprofio is looking into it at 1 Lacey Place for me to see if she can find out why it is roll marked this way. She confirmed that it is a P95DAO that was sold to one of their Law Enforcement ...
