The first handgun I purchased when I turned 21 was a Ruger P95. For the price it's a great gun. Hi-cap mags are cheap and it would eat any ammo I put in it. The only downside is that it's a little on the clunky side for concealed carry and holster selection isn't that great. It's a great fun for an affordable and reliable 9mm.

I think you did pretty well. The older Ruger pistols aren't worth much, and the revolver with the extras is absolutely worth more. I've had a couple of different Taurus revolvers, and none of them have been bad guns. As long as you have realistic expectations of them, you won't be disappointed with a Taurus.

The Taurus will make great sidearm when youre in the field! I'd rather be pumping mag rounds into a bear or cat or unidentified, very large k-9 :chuckle: than I would a 9mm :twocents: and seeing as how you have the newer 9mm i would be satisfied! There is a lot to be said for having variety in your gun case, I have the same problem with a lot of the same type of gun.
What would life be without the thrill of the hunt?

The only thing that matters is whether or not you are happy with the trade. What others think doesn't mean squat.       
Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, every where. Destroy this spirit, and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.

Trading a Ruger for a Taurus...might sound scary on paper, but it can be done.

Trading a semi auto for a revolver...never a bad idea in my book.

The P95 was a sweet pistol, but Im really liking this revolver. As of today, I have only had it for a week maybe.. I have already put about 400rds thru it, and it shoots good. Today I was popping pieces of clays with it on a dirt and rock backdrop about 40 or 50yds away with ease. It really isnt quite as accurate as I figured it would be with about 9" of sight radius. Not that its not accurate, but I can make just as good of shots with my 9mm.
 I still want to go get a Glock 20sf as soon as I can, and now that I have this revolver, Im thinking I need one in .44 magnum as well! Ive just got to figure out how to make more money to feed my habit lol.
