Ruger P95 Instructions Manual

							3. Using powder solvent on a clean patch or bristle brush, remove powder
residue from all components of the mechanism. After cleaning, run a dry
patch through the bore, then follow with a patch that is very lightly oiled.
Wipe all surfaces clean with cloth, then wipe all surfaces with a patch or cloth
that has been very lightly oiled.
4.NOTE:Only a light application of oil is needed to provide adequate lubrica-
tion of moving parts and to prevent rust. Excess accumulations of oil tend to
attract particles of dust and dirt and may congeal in cold weather, which can
interfere with the safe and reliable function of the pistol.
5. Before firing, remove all oil and grease from the bore.

WARNING - LUBRICATION
IMPROPER LUBRICATION
DESTROYS GUNS
!
Firing a pistol with oil, grease, or any other material
even partially obstructing the bore may result in damage
to the pistol and serious injury to the shooter and those
nearby. Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on
ammunition. If the powder of a cartridge is affected by
the lubricant, it may not be ignited, but the primer fir-
ing may push the bullet into the bore where it may be
lodged. Firing a subsequent bullet into the obstructed
bore may damage the pistol and cause serious injury or
death to the shooter and those nearby.Use lubricants
properly. You are responsible for the proper care and
maintenance of your firearms.
STORAGE
GUNS SHOULD NOT BE STORED LOADED!
USE THE LOCKING DEVICE SUPPLIED WITH THE PISTOL FOR STORAGE.
(SEEPAGE3)
Do notkeep the pistol stored in a leather holster or case. Leather attracts mois-
ture, even though the holster or case may appear to be perfectly dry.
TO RENDER THE PISTOL INOPERATIVE FOR SAFE STORAGE
With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, remove the magazine, retract the
slide, and check the chamber to be sur
e the pistol is completely unloaded! Keep
the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, and press upward on the slide stop. Insert
a finger into the action and press the ejector assembly fully forward. Next, pull
the slide stop pin out the left side of the pistol frame until it is withdrawn com-
pletely out of the frame. Now remove the slide and barrel assembly by sliding it
forward off the front of the frame. 
						

							23
Store the pistol’s frame and the barrel/slide assembly in different locations. When
disassembled in this manner, this pistol is inoperable. It is impossible to fire the
pistol until the barrel/slide assembly and frame have been correctly reassembled.
To reassemble the pistol for firing, carefully slide the barrel/slide assembly onto
the frame. Align the disassembly marks on the frame and slide, and then push
the slide stop pin fully into the receiver from the left. Either reinsert an empty
magazine or lock the slide open and push the ejector back upward and rearward
with a finger. The pistol is now reassembled and can be loaded and fired normal-
ly.
While the pistol is less likely to be used by unauthorized persons when disas-
sembled in the above manner, it is always safest to store any firearm with the
supplied locking device correctly installed, or to store the firearm in a gun safe
or other secure location away from children and unauthorized adults. Guns
should always be stored securely, unloaded
and separate from their ammuni-
tion.
Never place or store any firearm in
such a manner that it may be dis-
lodged. Firearms should always be
stored securely and unloaded, away
from children and careless adults. Use
the locking device originally supplied
with this firearm for storage.
The use of a locking device or safety
lock is only one aspect of responsible
firearms storage. For increased safety,
firearms should be stored unloaded and
locked in a location that is both sepa-
rate from their ammunition and inac-
cessible to children and any other
unauthorized person.
STORE SECURELY & UNLOADED

locality does not have a law or regulation which will prohibit you from receiving
the pistol from us after it has been repaired. If such receiving is prohibited, then
please have a Federally Licensed Firearms Dealer ship the gun to us. If your pis-
tol is sent to us by a dealer, it will be returned to him after being repaired. If a
handgun (pistol or revolver) is shipped by an individual who does not hold a
Federal Firearms License, it must be shipped via U.P.S. (Next Day Air) Persons

SERVICE AND PARTS POLICY
If you have any questions with regard to the performance of your RUGER®
P95 pistol, please write or call (520-778-6555) our Product Service Department
in Prescott, Arizona, fully describing all circumstances and conditions involved.
If you should return your pistol to the factory for repair, or order parts for it,
please comply with the following suggestions for prompt service:
SIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The RUGER®P95Pistols are equipped with a rear sight which is adjustable
for windage only. After the rear-sight lock screw has been loosened (for those
pistols equipped with a rear sight lock screw), the rear sight can be drifted later-
ally in its dovetail on the top of the slide by tapping it with a wooden- or plastic-
headed hammer or similar implement. Move the rear sight in the direction you
want the shot to move on the target. After the rear sight is adjusted, tighten the
rear-sight lock screw. The front sight is fixed. Both front and rear sights are pro-
vided with white-dot inserts for rapid target acquisition and easy alignment of
the sights to obtain a correct sight picture.

							THE BASIC RULES OF SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING
We believe that Americans have a right to purchase and use firearms for lawful
purposes. The private ownership of firearms in America is traditional, but that
ownership imposes the responsibility on the gun owner to use his firearms in a
way which will ensure his own safety and that of others. When firearms are used
in a safe and responsible manner, they are a great source of pleasure and satis-
faction, and represent a fundamental part of our personal liberty.
Firearms do not cause accidents! Firearms accidents are almost always found to
have been the result of carelessness, or ignorance on the part of the shooter of
the basic rules of safe gun handling.
The following rules must be observed by gun users at all times. Safe gun han-
dling is not just desirable, it is absolutely essential to your safety, the safety of
others, and the continuation of gun ownership and sport shooting as we know it
today.
1. LEARN THE MECHANICAL AND HANDLING
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FIREARM YOU ARE USING.
Not all firearms are the same. The
method of carrying and handling
firearms varies in accordance with the
mechanical provisions for avoiding
accidental discharge and the various
proper procedures for loading and
unloading. No person should handle
any firearm without first having thor-
oughly familiarized himself with the
particular type of firearms he is using,
and with safe gun handling in general.
2. ALWAYS KEEP THE
MUZZLE POINTED IN A
SAFE DIRECTION.
Be sure of the bullet stop behind your
target, even when dry-firing. Never let
the muzzle of a firearm point at any
part of your body or at another person.
This is particularly important when
loading or unloading a firearm. In the
event of an accidental discharge, no
injury can occur as long as the muzzle
is pointing in safe direction. A safe
direction means a direction which will
not permit a discharged bullet to
strike a person, or to strike an object
from which the bullet may ricochet.
30
               RUGER®
INSTRUCTION MANUAL  READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
  AND WARNINGS IN THIS
  MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE
  USING THIS FIREARM.  
						

							A safe direction must take into account the fact that a bullet may penetrate a
wall, ceiling, floor, window, etc., and strike a person or damage property. Make
it a habit to know exactly where the muzzle of your gun is pointing whenever
you handle it, and be sure that you are always in control of the direction in
which the muzzle is pointing, even if you fall or stumble. Keep your finger off
the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
3. FIREARMS SHOULD BE UNLOADED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Firearms should be loaded only when
you are in the field or on the target
range or shooting area, ready to shoot.
Firearms and ammunition should be
securely locked in safes, racks or cabi-
nets, or by using the locking device
supplied with the firearm when not in
use. Ammunition should be safely
stored separate from firearms. Store
your firearms out of sight of visitors
and children. It is the gun owner’s
responsibility to be certain that chil-
dren and persons unfamiliar with
firearms cannot gain access to
firearms, ammunition, or components.
4. BE SURE THE BARREL IS CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE SHOOTING.
Even a bit of mud, snow or excess
lubricating oil or grease in the bore
may cause the barrel to bulge, or
even burst on firing, and can cause
injury to the shooter and bystanders.
Be sure that you are using
ammunition of the proper caliber
and loading for the gun you are 
using. If the report or recoil on firing
seems weak, or doesn’t seem quite 
right, CEASE FIRING IMMEDIATELY,
unload your firearm,  and check to be 
sure that no obstruction has become
lodged in the barrel. Never try to 
shoot an obstruction out!
