WHY ARE WE INCLUDING A FIRED CARTRIDGE CASE
WITH EVERY RUGER PISTOL AND REVOLVER?
Certain states and jurisdictions now require that all newly manufactured pistols
and revolvers must be accompanied by a cartridge case, which has been test fired
from that gun at the factory. The case must be placed in a sealed container bear-
ing certain information concerning this test cartridge.
At the time of retail sale in those jurisdictions, firearms dealers must forward
such test cartridge to a designated destination such as their State Police
Laboratory. As independent Ruger Distributors have nationwide markets without
territorial restrictions, we have decided to include a fired cartridge case with all
new Ruger pistols and revolvers, to minimize the possibility of inadvertent non-
compliance with these laws.
Retail customers located in other states, where laws or regulations do not require
the dealer to so act, may be assured that the fired cartridge case they receive with
the firearm at the time of retail purchase is proof that your new Ruger firearm
has undergone our normal test firing procedures during manufacture.

WARNING – LOCKING DEVICES
DO NOT INSTALL
INSIDE TRIGGER GUARD
This firearm was originally sold
with a key-operated locking
device. While it can help provide
secure storage for your
unloaded
firearm, any locking device can
fail. All guns are designed to fire
if they are loaded and the trigger
is pulled. Therefore,
never install
the locking device inside the trig-
ger guard or in any way that it
can possibly pull the trigger!
Do
not leave the keys in the lock.
The ultimate responsibility for
secure storage of any firearm
must depend upon its owner and
his or her individual circum-
stances.
Guns should be securely
stored unloaded, in a secure
location, separate from their
ammunition.
See “Storage Warning”, page 23.

FIREARMS SAFETY - YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
SAFETY MUST BE THE FIRST AND CONSTANT
CONSIDERATION OF EVERY PERSON WHO
HANDLES FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION.
This Instruction Manual is designed to assist you in learning how to use and care
for your
RUGER
®
P95
Manual Safety Model Pistols properly. Please contact
us if you have any questions.
Only when you are certain you fully understand the Manual and can properly
carry out its instructions should you practice loading, unloading, etc. with live
ammunition. If you have any doubts about your ability to handle or use a partic-
ular type of gun safely, you should seek supervised instruction. Such personal-
ized instruction is often available from gun dealers, gun clubs or police depart-
ments. If none of these sources can help you, write to the National Rifle
Association, 11250 Waples Mill, Fairfax, VA 22030-7400. They will assist you.
The person possessing a gun has a full-time job. You cannot guess; you cannot
forget. You must know how to use your firearm safely.
Do not use any firearm
without having a complete understanding of its particular characteristics and
safe use.
Remember: There is no such thing as a foolproof gun.

GENERAL INFORMATION
AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The
RUGER
®
P95
pistols are centerfire, compact, double action, magazine-
fed, autoloading, recoil-operated pistols chambered for the caliber 9mm
Parabellum (9mm x19) 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 construction. They
comply with the requirements of the National Institute of Justice Standard -
0112.00. They include the following features with which users should be thor-
oughly 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 possi-
bility 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
accurate single-action fir-
ing if desired.
Frame
is a rigid one piece
polyurethane grip frame rein-
forced with long glass fiber.
When ambidextrous
manual
safety
is in “safe” position,
the firing pin is cammed
forward into the slide. This
simultaneously places the
firing pin out of reach of
the hammer and locks the
firing pin in a neutral posi-
tion, preventing the firing
pin from movement toward
the cartridge. Further, the
entire firing mechanism is
completely disengaged from
trigger.
Double-action mechanism and strongly curved
trigger
provide that cocking and firing can be
accomplished 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
retention 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 manual safety model pistols is of the U.S.
M1911 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 move-
ment, 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 trig-
ger will fire the pistol again. Therefore, an autoloading pistol user must be par-
ticularly conscious to always keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction.
