Spends way too much money on guns.

$299 isn't bad, but I'd probably offer him $250 for it and see if he'd take that. For whatever reason, gun stores don't want to give you crap for Ruger pistols and then will sell them for a whole lot more. If I had to guess, he probably has about $180 in the gun. Most gun stores offered me $250 for my P345 and had used ones selling for $420 or so.
I really liked that P345, it was a nice, quality pistol. I think you'll be happy with the P-95 if you pick it up. The grips are quite ugly, but they do the job. You could put one of those Hogue slip on grips on it if you preferred that.

I have a new P95(blued version, with 2 15rd mags) that I got a few weeks ago. I had mine ordered from galleryofguns.com for $284.....$320 with fees. Had it the next afternoon.

I got mine a few weeks ago too.....I love it!! IMO its not heavy until I put 15 rounds in it. I have put 150-200 rounds through it and it has been flawless.
Buds was selling them shipped for 300 last time I looked (add in a $25 transfer fee) and I think 300 used is way to much.

I paid $329 NEW + state tax + instant check for P95 blue at Cabela's Hamburg PA in Aug, 2009.
Fine weapon. High fit/finish. No FTF or FTE in over 250 rounds. Two (2) 15 round stainless steel magazines and hard case included with initial purchase. 20% off first $100 of purchases from Ruger website if you register warranty on-line. Got three (3) 15 round stainless steel mags and nifty hats at 20% off!
Did I mention the magazines were heavy-duty Stainless Steel?

Have the P95 and it's a good gun. No complaints with it. I would definitely try to haggle a bit though. That's how much I payed for mine new.

I agree with Raygam. Why pay $299 used when you can get a new one for a dollar more. By the way if you buy it from some place like buds gun shop as Raygam did you save the sales tax too. My ffl does transfers for $15 a gun so look around in your area. Buds can even find you a dealer in your area that is already set up with them. Check them out. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/manufacturers_id/369/products_id/18161 |

You should offer the pawn shop a price. At least give them a chance to say no. Tell you what you want to pay. If they say no then go elsewhere
