Ruger P89 Capacity

The Ruger P89 uses steel double-stack, single-feed detachable box magazines with standard capacities of 10 and 15 rounds.  Aftermarket magazines are available with 20 and 32 round capacities, and the Ruger P89 shares magazine compatibility with the Rugers P85, P93, P94 and P95.

Ruger P89 Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The Ruger P89 lacks a lot of ergonomic features compared to other wonder-nines of its time.  The lack of slide serrations or effective grip texturing give this gun very strange ergonomics, while the lack of texturing on the controls gives it an incomplete feel.  The long double-action trigger pull is heavy and anything but smooth and feels like you’re fighting it the entire way, and the single-action trigger pull has a short take-up and a heavy break.

Ruger P89 Fit & Finish

The Ruger P89 is made with incredibly hard steel components which benefit its reliability and durability.  The double-action trigger is rather smooth but has an incredibly heavy pull weight, and the grip’s texturing is outdated by today’s standards.  Disassembly is relatively easy with its 1911 style takedown bar.
Fit and Finish

Ruger P89 Concealability

Concealability
The Ruger P89 measures 7.5 inches long and 5.5 inches tall, making this pistol very difficult to conceal, and its width of 1.3 inches doesn’t help.  The Ruger P89 was designed with duty carry in mind, and is best carried in open-carry settings.
