Sturm, Ruger & Company
(From Ruger's web site) The Ruger P�Series pistol was designed by practical shooters. The P�Series are specifically designed to provide optimum reliability under rugged conditions. Their proven quality is based on years of service experience, resulting in one of the most durable centerfire pistols available.
Each metal frame P�Series pistol is made of hard-coated A356T aircraft-quality aluminum alloy; Ruger's proprietary Terhune Anticorro stainless steel (chrome-molybdenum steel in blued models) and long-strand fiberglass filler that is a natural shock absorber.
P�Series pistols easily fieldstrip for cleaning, without the use of special tools, into five major subassemblies. Ruger offers several ambidextrous variations on the proven P�Series double-action design in 9mm, .40 Auto and .45 ACP. (My Ruger is the P89, blued finish, 9mm and the weight is 32 ounces).
Operating features:
All centerfire models include a firing pin block that prevents firing unless the trigger is completely pulled and held fully back.
Manual Safety models incorporate a manual ambidextrous lever that, when engaged, prevents firing unless the lever is in the "fire" position.
