Ruger P90 for $300?

Spikestrip · 06-18-2007, 10:23 PM

A guy at work I shoot with, wants to sell me his P90 for $300. It's in *like new* condition. Is this a good used price? I'm in Kalifornia, so I'll have to pay the background check, even though I just bought a S&W 9mm Sigma a little more than 30 days ago.
Thanks!

Hmm P90? Isnt that an FN manufactured gun?

Mooseman684 · 06-19-2007, 01:26 AM

The Ruger P90 is a .45 ACP DA Semi-auto That is worth from 375.00 to 450.00 in 100% Condition...That is A great Deal on one !
Question....Do you guys in California have to do private sales through a Dealer ??? That is Just WRONG if you do...I bet the gangstas don't!!!

actually whether or not its a deal depends on your local. around here they can be found N.I.B. for about $350. if in perfect condition $300 is a fair price.

The PS90 is an FN product.

The P90 is a sweet little gun, I picked mine up on-line for about $250 but after shipping and FFL fees, it came out to about $300 so I'd say it's a pretty good deal. Just make sure you look it over real good before you buy though, check for cracks on the slide around the ejection port and on the frame. Also, check for excessive wear on the guide rod(they're just alluminum so they marr up real easy, but I'd go with that than a steel rod, they have problems too). Hope it goes well for you!

The P-90 is a GREAT gun! $300 is an awesome price, jump on it, you wont be disappointed.

Coeloptera · 08-02-2007, 02:06 PM

Funny, my wife is looking to sell hers currently. She wants to trade to a Beretta PX40 Storm. If it's in good condition $300.00 is a great deal.

But yeah, check the guide rod, it's always seemed a little "fiddly" on hers, especially when reassembling it after a thorough cleaning.

But after several years hers, at least, shows no appreciable wear at all. Mind you, we're pretty fanatical about maintenence.

But it is a nice .45 and great for left-handers (as she is).

Buy it, if it's like new, you're sure to enjoy it.

Did you ever do that deal? That isn't a bad deal on that series of gun if you could get him down a little more, it would e an awesome deal

Spikestrip · 10-11-2007, 11:18 PM

Yep, went for it. Paid him $300, plus $35 background (DROSS) fee. Haven't shot it yet, but I will submit a range report when I get out!

Despoiler · 10-12-2007, 02:40 AM

$300.00 for a P90 in good condition is a good deal in California. You will be happy with the gun. The marring on the guide rods does not seem to affect the fuction of the gun, but if it does bother you it polishes up pretty easily.

To answer Mooseman's question yes we have to go through a dealer for a private sell.

You won't regret it. The P90 is the Best P-series pistol Ruger makes, but they all are good guns.

jj25 · 02-02-2008, 10:32 PM

t-capps · 04-30-2009, 04:29 PM

musicmaniac · 04-30-2009, 04:47 PM

Haha! No, i would say it isn't available as he said he bought it... Not to mention that this thread was started in 2007!

milproakron · 04-30-2009, 05:17 PM

I don't have a P90, but I have a P85MarkII (before they changed it to P89) I paid $300 NIB back in 1992. After all these years, and a couple thousand rounds, it still looks new. I've been offered $300 for it (and the 15 rd mags) just recently, so I'd think out in Cali-ville $300 was a good buy. I've heard alot of Ruger bashing online in recent years, but as for gun buys, I think it was my best purchase for the money. They make great pistols.

musicmaniac · 04-30-2009, 05:23 PM

Lol. Seriously guys, any and all prices in this thread, are probably invalid now. This thread was from nearly 2 years ago.
