From the dark ages, that being the late 80s & early 90s. They do exsist. I still have one of 2 that I had. IIRC, the P90 is the correct Ruger I.D. for the all black one and KP90 for the all stainless. If it had a letter K at the start of the model #, it was a stainless model. Don't know if that still applies. And I could be wrong cause I forget alot of stuff now.
Got a black one and tis stainless one in the early 90s off a couple of L.E.O.s that were upset over the Ruger repate that was offered at the time on the P89s which were 9mm, & this model. They had paid full price when the guns came out and they were around 3 bills back then. They bought their guns before the 50 dollar rebate started and were pizzed cause they got no rebate. I bought both of the guns for 475.IIRC, the rebate brought the price of the guns down to @ 240 or 250. I still see a few coming into the gunshows. People want anywhere between 3 to 5 for them. I don't see many.
The guns are DA/SA decockers. Single stack mag that is similar to the 1911 mags, but is only useable in that model. I sold one and kept the extra mags for the stainless one. The guns are reliable, heavy, huge, resonably accuratre. I put a Hogue rubber grip on this one cuase the original grips suck. Still ahve them & the box. Also kept 1 of 2 KP99s that I had. The guns are guess....kinda obsolete now. The polymer frame P345 came out then and the poly frame P94 which was a .40 cal. only.
Being Rugers, they are made to last. However, I don't really see them as becoming "collectibles" as in some of the single action, old mdels etc. But then, who woulda guessed those would be now. I was at a gunshow all weekend and an old guy ame in with an old modle Ruger Single Six in excellet condition. Also had a .22 mag cylinder with it. He wanted 350 for the gun. It was o.k. priced , but I was not really wanting to get into it for that much cause the show was slow. and $ was tight. I made a 3 bill offer onit ,but he passed it. In contrast, a guy came in with 2 LNIB Ruger P94s. One black, the other stainless on poly. He wanted 3 for each. I would not give over 250 for either. Mostly cause there ain't no real collectibility and they were only fair deals and a model that is no longer in demand. I would have given that for an SR or a RAP just to try theem out. I woulda been buying the P94 for trading or selling and 3 was too much. He said his best offer on both was 550, but he was only gonna go down to 575 if soneone bought both and 3 for either one. Otherwise he was keeping them.
If I was selling mine, I would put a pice of somewhre in the 4 to 450 range. That is with the extra mags &box. That is cause it is a .45. It would be much less, like 3 for the P89 or the P94s like the guyhad this weekend. Thre were alot of those and still are at ethe shows. I have seen the older 9s go for as low as 275 with only 1 mag. There are just too many of the plastic 9s now in the 3 to 4 rande in new condition, Rugers being one of them. Saw some new Shield 9s for as low as 336+ at the show. And the P90s have to compete with all the poly 45s and 1911s now on the market in the 4 to5 range.
But It's yourr gun and you can ask whatever ya want for it. I could sell mine for 360 to 4 and get into a decent poly frame sub compact. However, I alreadyhave those, the Shield 9, LC9s, and G27. I like the old beast KP90 in .45. I can't even remember when I last fired it.. Maybe 10 years ago. I want a G36, but I know the small poly frame .45s weigh alot when fully loaded. I had a Kahr CW45. It was really light Till ya put a full magazine in it.

Welcome to the forum. If you go to introduction sub forum and tell a little about yourself intro would be appreciated. It gets new members off to a quicker start.
I was at an outdoor range and a youngster was there with his dad shooting an p90. I was getting pelted with ejected shells while he was firing. His dad stood between me and the son trying to keep me from getting pelted. I don't think I have ever heard a negative report on the P90 guns. LOL Except mine.........don't be beside one while it is being shot.
I really hate ranges without divider screens or something between shooters.
