It is interesting to read all of the posts that feel that Ruger makes a great product, but that the P95 just felt huge in the hand. I felt the same way, although I almost bought one. I went for the 9VE because it felt so great in the hand. I said this on another thread, but it bears repeating that the more I visit this site, the more I like my 9VE! I want a black one now...
