The Ruger P85 is a semi-automatic pistol designed and manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. in the mid-1980s. It was part of Ruger‚s \"P-series\" of pistols, intended primarily for military and law enforcement use, but it also gained popularity in the civilian market.

Simple takedown: Easy to field strip for cleaning and maintenance.
Sturdy construction: Early models were somewhat bulky, reflecting a focus on durability over concealability.
?? History and Use
Introduced: 1987
Discontinued: 1992 (replaced by the improved P89)
