ATI CS9 9mm or RUGER P95??

[gunlover303]

I've been doing a little research for a decent 9mm, and I have came down to these 2 guns. The American Tactical CS9 and the RUGER P95. I just wanted a little feed back on which one would others prefer. Now I know there aren't many who know much about the CS9. Just whatever helpful thoughts anyone might have, thanks.

Well, Rugers been around for a long time if you need parts, easy to find. If you need an extra magazine, easy to find. Ruger probably has a higher resale value. I would lean pretty heavy toward Ruger. Oh yea, they shoot pretty well too.

 

[gunlover303]

yeah I've been thinkin more about the P95. but quick question. have you had the chance to fire or see the CS9 in action?

Of the two you listed the Ruger P95 would be my choice. I haven't handled the ATI. I do have a couple P85's (basically same as P95) and they have been dependable but seem to fit a larger hand size better. You get what you pay for.

How about a Taurus 24/7?

I had a CS9 and I have a Ruger P94DC. The CS9 was a good pistol, but it didn't like the russian ammo. The Ruger eats anything so far. Also like it was said the CS9 is harder to find mags for etc. I would go with the Ruger if that is what your choices are narrowed down to. I personally prefer a Glock. The other 2 seem too bulky to me.

I would go with the RUGER, They have been around longer, better reputation.

I just sold a P95 that was nothing but spectacular when it comes to reliablity, never a malfunction regardless of ammo, intentional limp wristing, etc. The Ruger is ambidextrious, should you ever want to practice left handed. Concealed carry is tricky, but can be done with a good holster. I have no experience with the CS9, so I cannot offer any insight into that pistol.

You are very likely to receive an outstanding pistol in the Ruger P series.

Just a thought, but if you wait around long enough, you can find a used Glock for about 100 bucks more than a typical Ruger would cost used. It depends on your viewpoints of active safeties, budget and personal preference. Either way, a Ruger is a fine PD weapon.

My first handgun was a Ruger P95. I still own it too. Great gun, built like a tank. I bought it used at a gun show and it has been 100% reliable with any ammo I have fed it. I think the P95 is a great gun. With all of my other handguns I have now it seems a bit big and heavy for carry, but it can be done with proper holster and a good belt.

why not a glock

Never heard of the ATI, however i have a ruger p95 and after 2000+ rounds i have had no malfunctions,even during the break in period. Rugers are heavy and built like tanks, but i will never sell mine

My first center fire hand gun was and still is a Ruger P95 DC. Love this gun. It is a bit large for CC but I have a nice leather Holster with an FBI cant to it which makes it a little easier to conceal. I have rather large paws, as my hand surgeon said once. So it fits me rather well. And reliable as everyone else has said. I just wish the large capacity mags were a little cheaper. I can find cheap Colt .45 mags that work for $10, $20 plus is the best I can do for the Ruger.

I buy my mags from CDNN, they have some good deals

I bought a P95 last year. My first semi auto hand gun. I tired others. But the P95 fits my hand better than the others. The price was right too $350.

 

[gunlover303]

well it seems the P95 is the most likely choice. i appreciate everyones impute. IT was all very useful, thanks to everyone that replied/and will reply.

Hey if you have decided on the Ruger P95 BudsGunshop.com gas them for $300.00 delivered. And they already have most local FFL's on file.

Do more research, I wouldn't own either...

 

[Saiga223]

I have the Ruger P93DC which is just like the P95 minus the polymer base and I like it, but like someone else mentioned it is a little large for CC. They are tanks though and for the price definitely a good look. It really just depends on your needs.

Ruger P95 would be the last gun I'd part with. I love it that much - I own many but it is the one I'd keep until the end. Not a great carry gun but never fails to put a hole where it should go.

Whats your advice

Chefcook, what would your advice be on a good 9mm?
