GENERAL INFORMATION
AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The
RUGER
®
P89DC, P90DC, & P91DC*
pistols are centerfire, double
action, “decock only” magazine-fed, autoloading, recoil-operated pistols. The
P89DC
is chambered for the caliber 9mm Parabellum (9mm x19) cartridge,
the
P90DC
is chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge, and the
P91DC
is cham-
bered for the .40 S & W cartridge. The
P93DC
has a shorter, “streamlined”
slide and is chambered for the 9mm Parabellum (9mm x 19) cartridge. The
P94DC
has a full length “streamlined” slide configuration and is chambered
for the 9mm Parabellum (9mm x 19) cartridge, while the
P944DC
is cham-
bered for the .40 S&W cartridge. They comply with the requirements of the
National Institute of Justice Standard - 0112.00. They include the following fea-
tures with which users should be thoroughly familiar:

NOMENCLATURE
(P91DC Shown)
Sights
have high-visibility
white dots both front and
rear. Rear sights can be
adjusted for windage.
Slide’s
open top design minimizes possi-
bility of jamming, enables shooter to
clear any malfunction easily by hand.
Cartridges can be loaded singly if desired.
Grooved, exposed
hammer
spur enables the shooter to
cock the hammer easily for
accurate single-action fir-
ing if desired.
To decock the pistol, depress
the decocking lever until the
hammer drops. This action
moves the firing pin forward
into the slide. This temporari-
ly places the firing pin out of
reach of the hammer stroke
and locks the firing pin a neu-
tral position, preventing it
from moving toward the car-
tridge.
Frame
is precision investment cast
in lightweight aluminum alloy,
hard-coated for toughness.
RELEASING EITHER
DECOCK LEVER WILL
ALLOW THE LEVERS TO
SPRING UPWARD TO
THEIR ORIGINAL
POSITION, PLACING THE
PISTOL IN A FIRING
CONDITION.
Double-action mechanism and strongly curved
trigger
provide that cocking and firing can be
accomplished with a single pull of the trigger.
Oversize
trigger guard
permits shooting with gloved
hand. Recurved trigger guard bow accommodates non-
shooting hand in two-hand hold.
The ambidextrous
magazine latch
permits positive
retention and quick removal of magazine.
Slide stop
holds the slide open and is activated
automatically when last shot is fired (if magazine is in
pistol), or can be manually operated.
Lanyard loop
provides security for carrying in the
field or police use.
Action:
The action of the Ruger decocker model pistols is of the U.S. M1911 type
that utilizes a tilting barrel design in which the barrel and slide are locked
together at the moment of firing. After firing, the barrel and slide recoil to the
rear a short distance while still locked together. After this initial movement, the
barrel tilts downward from its locked position, permitting full recoil of the slide
and the extraction and ejection of the spent cartridge case.
The user of this or any autoloading pistol must always remember that when
fired, it automatically reloads and recocks itself, so that simply pulling the trig-
ger will fire the pistol again. Therefore, an autoloading pistol user must be par-
ticularly conscious to always keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction.

Slide Stop:
When the last shot has been fired and the magazine is empty, the
slide stop automatically holds the slide open. When there is an empty magazine
in the pistol and the slide is retracted manually, the slide stop will automatically
hold the slide open. If a loaded magazine is inserted in the pistol when the slide
is closed and the slide is then retracted fully, the slide stop will not automatically
hold open the slide. The user can actuate the slide stop mechanism to hold the
slide open at any time by retracting the slide and pushing up the slide stop.
The slide stop can be released by drawing back slightly on the slide and depress-
ing the slide stop thumbpiece. When the slide is released, it will move forward
under pressure from the recoil spring.
The slide stop is spring-loaded to move downward. Therefore, when there is a
loaded magazine in place and the pistol is jarred, the slide can fly forward and
chamber a cartridge. For this reason and as an essential safety practice,
the user
should always be careful to keep fingers away from the trigger and always keep
the pistol pointed in a safe direction.
Magazines:
The Ruger 9mm, .40Auto, and .45 ACP magazines are
not
inter-
changeable with Ruger pistol magazines of
any
other caliber even though they
may appear similar and may hold other cartridges. Use of incorrect magazines in
any pistol will result in malfunctions. Ruger 9mm magazines are either
unmarked as to caliber or are marked “9mm cal. only”. All other Ruger center-
fire pistol magazines, which are similar in appearance, are marked as to caliber
(“.40 Auto Cal.,” etc.).
DAMAGED, NON-STANDARD, OR IMPROPERLY
ASSEMBLED MAGAZINES SHOULD NOT BE USED.
THEY CAN CAUSE THE PISTOL TO MALFUNCTION.
SPECIAL FEATURE - DECOCKING LEVER
The model you have selected is equipped with a special manual decocking lever
that allows you to decock (uncock) a cocked pistol without manipulating the
trigger. Conventional thumb decocking procedures are therefore not necessary
and should not be employed with this pistol.
To decock the pistol,
point the pistol in a safe direction.
Depress the cocking
lever until the hammer drops. The decocking lever blocks the hammer from the
firing pin while simultaneously blocking the firing pin from movement towards
the cartridge (see Figure 1, p. 6). To return the pistol to firing condition, simply
release the decocking lever (see Figure 2, p. 6). It will spring upward to its origi-
nal position. The pistol is then ready to fire by a “double-action” pull of the trig-
ger. The hammer can also be manually cocked immediately before shooting a
“single-action” firing. The trigger pull is both shorter and relatively lighter in
the “single-action” mode, which is preferred for more accurate shooting.
