Overview

The Ruger P90 is a full-size, semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP, introduced by Sturm, Ruger & Company in 1991. It was part of Ruger's P-Series and was designed as a .45 ACP counterpart to the popular P85 and P89 9mm pistols. The P90 uses a short-recoil, locked-breech action with a Browning-style pivoting link. It features an aluminum alloy frame and a stainless steel slide. The pistol is known for its robust construction, reliability, and manageable recoil for a .45 ACP. The P90 was adopted by law enforcement agencies and personal defense users who preferred the .45 ACP cartridge.
