I'll say right out that 2 simple mods will make a Ruger P89 seem like an entirely different gun. For me it was technically 3 if I count the wood checkered grips which where a huge improvement by themselves.
My 2 current improvements made the trigger pull unbelievable. First mod was a 19lb hammer spring from Wolff. I took it to the range and the trigger pull was greatly reduced making it much easier than stock in DA or SA.
The second mod I just finished with was installing a P95 trigger in place of the stock trigger. The P95 trigger curves more towards the rear allowing the reach to be greatly reduced. When the trigger is pulled, the hammer will fall when the trigger is a hair's width from the frame. Now to my surprise, this mod also made the release of the hammer feel like a glass rod and make the entire pull as smooth as a full on trigger job and polish. I know its not from the hammer spring because I dropped the stock trigger back in and still felt the gritty feel. Below is a link to the forum where I found about this mod, as is the picture of the trigger. If you have a P89, I suggest you do these two mods since you'll have a whole new appreciation for the P89.
