Very good you should ask this today. We have had this gun, a Ruger P95DC for two years. My husband swears by it, I am going shooting for the first time tomorrow. I kept putting it off but now I figure if it's in the home, it would be dumb for me not to know how to use it. I will report back to you how it was to use for me. I'm a woman and have never shot a gun before:
All the best. Be prepared for the kickback of the gun. It's not like in a lot of movies and tv.
