I have the P85. The only difference between it and the P-89 from what I understand is the internal workings of the safety are different. Ruger recalled all the P-85's within a certain SN range and fixed the guns with a modified safety. Then the used the change and called them the P-89.
On mine, when you depress the safety, the hammer drops and the safety lever stays in the down position You have to manually raise it to be able to fire the pistol.
I know that mine is more accurate than I am.

I forgot to add in my l;ast post that the p-89 with the decocker that pops back up so you can shoot if necessary is a DAO gun, double action only.
Doesn't make sense to be. a I would consider double action to mean you can either shoot by pulling the trigger for the first shot or in single action mode after the first shot. Guess they had to call it something.

I have this P90 that I love.


Mine is the decock/safety model. When I flip the lever it drops the hammer and stays in safe, but mine is not the decock only model. I then flip it out of the safe position. Next time around I would not get the safety model.

I do like the Houge grips on it. Worth the investment.
