One of the purposes of this page is to be my cheat sheet for P85 bling. The supporting purpose is to identify the model number, so one can search the web for old stock. Suprising what is out there... really...
DISCLAIMER! Inclusion, or absence, of any item on this page that is to be used on a Ruger P85 or P85 MKII pistol does not mean anything. It is up to YOU to contact the manufacturer and / or Ruger in order to determine suitability for YOUR firearm -AND- intended use (target, plinking, self-defense).
NOTICE! The P85 is more or less built like a brick outhouse. The factory springs follow that concept. Making your hammer or recoil springs lighter may mean that the P85 will not whack the primer hard enough, or the recoil spring will allow the slide / rod to get battered up due to being too light.

WARNING! The early P-85 (not MkII) slide is milled out to allow access? to firing pin parts. The rear sight holds some spring loaded parts inside. When removing the factory sight, unscrew the locking screw and drive it out, right to left. Be cautious that anything inside is not released... Using a plastic bag over the slide might help to restrain flying parts...
AFAIK, the guns that are MkIIs from the factory are not affected. I think. And now back to the regularily scheduled programme...
Installing Millett Series 100 Adjustable Sights on a Ruger Standard Auto and P-85
The Series 100 adjustable sight system for the Ruger autos will fit all models on the rear sight installation. The Millett front sight will fit all models except bull barrels.
To install the rear sight, first [loosen the allen screw in the Ruger sight!] drive out existing rear sight > FROM RIGHT TO LEFT < (Caution - before tring to install sight, be sure the lock screws clear the bottom of the base or they will score the slide). After clearing the lock screws, if excessive force is required to tap in the sight, remove some of the metal from the base of the sight by sliding the sight across a piece of emery paper. After the sight is installed, tighten the dovetail locking screw with the supplied allen wrench.
NOTE: The P-85 rear sight I picked up has NO lock screws whatsoever. The only hole in the bottom of the sight's dovetail is a through hole for the elevation screw. Again, when removing the stock Ruger rear sight, back out the allen screw in the Ruger sight BEFORE attempting to drift the Ruger sight out!
Front sight does not need to be replaced on adjustable models unless you so desire; new sight REQUIRED on P-85.
To install front sight, first remove retainer pin[s] from front sight mount, using a 1/16" or slightly smaller punch. Place new Millett front in sight mount. Use small C clamp to hold sight alignment while drilling front sight. Do not overtighten clamp or you may distort mount [distorting P-85 slide would take a hydraulic press, IMHO]. Drill a 1/16" hole using the hole in the sight mount as a guide. Drill hole all the way through Millett sight.
Drive [both] 1/16" pin[s] through the sight and installation is complete.
