Opinions?

Have a chance to pick up a practically new one with original box and papers.

They are OK for what they are. Nothing special but at $150 one of the only pistols I would shoot in that price range. If it is any more than that keep looking.

One of the worst shooting handguns as far as accuracy goes I have ever shot. Buddy had one. Part of the reason was the slide and frame tolerance was terrible. If you shook the gun it sounded like a bag of metal parts in a bag.

I have a P94 my dad gave me years ago and it’s a decent pistol. It’s won’t blow your socks off but I’m happy with the accuracy at 15 yards and the fit and finish is decent. If the price is right I’d go for it

I either had a p94 or 95 like a decade back. Like the smaller version of the p89? Hammer and decocker? Whatever I had was a good enough truck piece...for its time.... I got it used and it was probably from the 80s or something when it was made. IMO, if you got a deal on an older gun like that (and its not broken or heavily used) why not buy it. There are probably people out there that collect or want one for their collection. At least a p89 maybe.

I bought a P95DC back in 1996 IIRC. LiKe others stated, accuracy was nonexistent but it went bang 11 times before reloading. It would chamber any kind of bullet design, factory or hand loaded. I sold mine in 2013 to a guy that really wanted it because it just sat in my gun safe.

I have a P95DC that I bought new in 2000. Nothing fancy but it’s one of my favorite guns to shoot. It has a large grip which I like. For some this would be a negative.

Had one back in the day. Was kind of big and heavy and only had a 10+1 round capacity since this was back in the capacity ban era. I recall the trigger having a nice break, but was generally sloppy.

Like others stated accuracy was relatively non-existent. One thing folks hadn't mentioned is this gun was definitely engineered before Glock's simplicity had trickled down to other manufacturers. From what I recall, it wasn't the easiest thing to break down and clean. Not brutal, but not easy either.

Honestly, like a few other guns I've owned and sold, I hadn't thought about that gun in years.
