GENERAL INFORMATION
AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The
RUGER
®
P95DC
pistols are centerfire, compact, double action, “decock
only” magazine-fed, autoloading, recoil-operated pistols chambered for the cal-
iber 9mm Parabellum (9mm x 19) cartridge. They incorporate a different “link-
less” design in the barrel locking/unlocking system than earlier Ruger P-Series
pistols, and feature a streamlined slide and Isoplast
®
polymer grip frame con-
struction. They comply with the requirements of the National Institute of Justice
Standard-0112.00. They include the following features with which users should
be thoroughly familiar:

NOMENCLATURE
Sights
have high-visibility
white dots both front and rear.
Rear sights can be adjusted for
windage.
Slide’s
open top design minimizes possibility
of jamming, enables shooter to clear any
malfunction easily by hand. Cartridges can
be loaded singly if desired.
Grooved, exposed
hammer
spur enables the shooter to
cock the hammer easily for
single-action firing if
desired.
Frame
is a rigid one piece polyurethane
grip frame reinforced with long glass fiber.
To decock the pistol, depress
the decocking lever until the
hammer drops. This action
moves the firing pin forward
into the slide. This temporari-
ly places the firing pin out of
reach of the hammer stroke
and locks the firing pin in a
neutral position, preventing it
from moving toward the car-
tridge.
RELEASING EITHER
DECOCK LEVER WILL
ALLOW THE LEVERS TO
SPRING UPWARD TO
THEIR ORIGINAL
POSITION, PLACING THE
PISTOL IN A READY TO
FIRE CONDITION.
Double-action mechanism and strongly curved
trig-
ger
provide that cocking and firing can be accom-
plished with a single pull of the trigger.
Oversize
trigger guard
permits shooting with gloved hand.
Recurved trigger guard bow accommodates non-shooting
hand in two-hand hold.
The ambidextrous
magazine latch
permits positive reten-
tion and quick removal of magazine.
Slide stop
holds the slide open and is activated
automatically when last shot is fired (if magazine is in
pistol), or can be manually operated.
Action:
The action of the Ruger P95 decocker model pistols is of the type that
utilizes a tilting barrel design in which the barrel and slide are locked together
at the moment of firing. After firing, the barrel and slide recoil to the rear a
short distance while still locked together. After this initial movement, the barrel
is cammed downward from its locked position, permitting full recoil of the slide
and the extraction and ejection of the spent cartridge case. Upon return of the
slide to its forward position by the recoil spring, the barrel is cammed back
upward into its locked position in the slide.
The user of this or any autoloading pistol must always remember that when
fired, it automatically reloads and recocks itself, so that simply pulling the
trigger will fire the pistol again. Therefore, an autoloading pistol user must be
particularly conscious to always keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction.

Slide Stop:
When the last shot has been fired and the magazine is empty, the
slide stop automatically holds the slide open. When there is an empty maga-
zine in the pistol and the slide is retracted manually, the slide stop will also
automatically hold the slide open. If a loaded magazine is inserted in the pistol
when the slide is closed and the slide is then retracted fully, the slide stop will
not automatically hold open the slide. The user can actuate the slide stop
mechanism to hold the slide open at any time by retracting the slide and
pushing the slide stop up.
The slide stop can be released by drawing back slightly on the slide and
depressing the slide stop thumbpiece. When the slide is released, it will move
forward under pressure from the recoil spring.
The slide stop is held in place by a spring detent. Therefore, when there is a
loaded magazine in place and the pistol is jarred, the slide can fly forward and
chamber a cartridge. For this reason and as an essential safety practice,
the
user should always be careful to keep fingers away from the trigger and always
keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction.
Magazines:
The Ruger 9mm magazines are
not
interchangeable with Ruger pis-
tol magazines of
any
other caliber even though they may appear similar and may
hold other cartridges. Use of incorrect magazines in any pistol will result in mal-
functions. Ruger 9mm magazines are either unmarked as to caliber or are
marked “9mm cal. only”. All other Ruger centerfire pistol magazines, which are
similar in appearance, are marked as to caliber (“.40 Auto Cal.,” etc.).
DAMAGED, NON-STANDARD, OR IMPROPERLY
ASSEMBLED MAGAZINES SHOULD NOT BE USED.
THEY CAN CAUSE THE PISTOL TO MALFUNCTION.

WARNING – LOCKABLE STORAGE BOXES
All Ruger pistols and revolvers are
originally sold in a lockable box,
with a key-operated padlock. While
it can help provide secure storage
for your
unloaded
firearm, any lock-
ing device can fail. The ultimate
responsibility for secure storage
must depend upon its owner and his
or her individual circumstances.
Always store firearms securely,
unloaded, in a secure location, sepa-
rate from their ammunition.
Never leave the keys in the lock. See
“Storage Warning”, p. 20.
DON’T LEAVE KEYS
IN THE LOCK
ALWAYS
STORE FIREARMS SECURELY
