Manufacturer: Strum, Ruger & Co. Inc Type: Pistol Model: Ruger P89 Caliber: 9mm Barrel Length: 4.5" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes  Log: 2493 S/N: 305-09019 Ref #: N/A Notes: The Ruger P89 is a double-action, semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm, designed as a rugged, no-frills service handgun. Manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co., the P89 was introduced in the early 1990s as a continuation of Ruger’s P-series pistols. Known for their durability and simplicity, these handguns were widely used by law enforcement and civilian shooters alike. This example, serial number 305-09019, features a stainless steel slide and aluminum alloy frame. The pistol has a 4.5-inch barrel and a standard magazine capacity of 15 rounds. Factory sights include a fixed front blade and an adjustable rear notch, providing a clear sight picture. The P89 operates with a double-action/single-action trigger system, and it incorporates an ambidextrous safety/decocker mechanism. The 9mm cartridge, paired with the P89’s sturdy construction, typically achieves a muzzle velocity of around 1,200 feet per second with standard loads, offering reliable performance for both defensive and recreational shooting. The P89’s design, characterized by its oversized controls and straightforward disassembly, emphasizes reliability and ease of maintenance over aesthetic refinement. This pistol is in poor condition, with significant wear throughout. The trigger guard is missing, detracting from its structural integrity, and the finish shows heavy handling marks and scratches. Additionally, this example does not include a magazine. Despite its external wear and missing components, the action still cycles properly, and the pistol may serve as a project gun or for use as spare parts.
