Ruger P89 ammo

I recently bought a Ruger P89, 9mm, slightly used. I have some Russian ammo, Silver Bear, I think. Is this gun okay with surplus ammo? I shot about 5 rounds of the Silver Bear through it and it seemed fine, but I don't know if I should shoot it too often. I know Ruger makes great guns, I don't want to damage, or wear it out prematurely.

The early bird may get the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese in the trap.

  No problem, just dirty as hell. Shoot it, clean it, have fun.

  I too have a P89, I have found it likes any ammo that fits into its magazine. Surely one of the best 9mm's made. My local walmart sells 100 rds of winchester FMJ in a dump box for only 10.99, cant beat that for a 100 rds.

  Thanks guys. I buy the Walmart 100 rd. box too. It's hard to pass up such a great deal. I had the Russian stuff in a milsurp pistol that I have since traded off. The Ruger is a quality gun, the best groups I've ever shot with a 9mm. Thanks.
