Hello everyone,

I have been reading this forum for some time and decided to join just yesterday. I have been looking at the P90 and Springfield Mil-Spec for some time. Right after joining the forum yesterday, I wanted to ask for some opinions, but then realized I had to leave for an appointmnet. Long story short, I had some time to stop at my local gun dealer after my appointment and looked (again) at the two pistols in question. Both were very nice, and I am a 1911 fan, but I finally made the decision to purchase the blued P90 w/safety. I won't have it for a few days due to the Illinois 72 hour waiting period, but I am looking forward to posting the results after my first outing. Just wanted to share and say hello.

I don't think you will regret getting the P90. They are one of the finest in my opinion. I just bought a new one and ordered a holster. I should have the gun fixed and a new holster for a Christmas present. Post a picture when you get yours.

Thank everyone. I tend to research things to death, but there is an overwhelming amount of positive comments regarding the P90, both here and on other forums. I had a problem P97 that eventually was replaced by Ruger. I had dealt with Mike Smisko (retired) who really took care of me. Because of the P90's stellar reputation and Ruger's service, I decided to go for it.

I have a stainless P90DC, and it is a super accurate gun. I think you will enjoy yours as well.

Congrats on the new gun. P90 happens to be one i depend on.

I picked up the P90 this week but have not had a chance to shoot it yet. There was a significant amount of "gunk" on the inside of the slide as well as the frame. I replaced the factory grips with Hogue rubber grips and it does feel much better. I am a little disappointed in the fit of the Hogue grips as they don't match up perfectly on the bottom, but it is acceptable. It sure is big and ugly....just what I was expecting!

Congratulations on the new P90. Just remember that if you ever have to use it in a self defense situation, it will also be big and ugly from the other end.
