Mr. Goatherd:
The Ruger is rugged. It is overbuilt and will digest any ammo within the limits of reason. The owner's manual will tell you that any, any SAAMI specified round is okay. For the money, you can't beat it. I suggest looking for a new P 95 at the next Gun Show held in your area of residence. You can procure one for under $300.00 but act now while supplies last. Take care to keep it oiled properly. The investment cast slide is strong but it will rust due to the porrous nature of the metal whether you get a stainless steel or blued steel version.
Good Luck!!!!----Will Beararms
