Ruger Security 9 Review: A Defensive Pistol That’s Very Affordable<\/span><\/h1>\n

Sturm, Ruger & Co. makes some of America\u2019s most-popular guns. In 2007, they introduced the ultra-compact LCP, chambered in .380 ACP, a gun that went on to become <\/span>one of best selling guns of recent years<\/span><\/a>. In 2016, Ruger introduced the LCP2, which had an improved trigger and a host of other upgrades. Sales for that gun took off like a rocket as well, firmly establishing Ruger as a leader in the polymer pocket pistol market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, things weren\u2019t going as well for Ruger when it came to larger polymer guns. The SR-9 series sold well, but never reached a dominating market position like the LCP did. Ruger then came out with the American series of polymer striker-fired guns and followed that up with the budget-priced Security 9 <\/span>Compact<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Full Size<\/span><\/a> pistols.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Security 9 First Impressions\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Ruger<\/a>You\u2019d be hard-pressed to spot the differences between the Security 9 and other more expensive pistols at first glance. The Security 9 looks and feels like a pistol that costs 2-300 dollars more. However, there are a few things that show where Ruger pinched a few pennies in order to lower the over-the-counter cost of this gun. For instance, the backstraps on Security 9 are not interchangeable. This feature allows the width of the gun to be tailored to different-sized hands and is a common feature on more expensive guns. In addition to this, the magazine release on the Security 9 will not move over to the left side for southpaw shooters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the plus side, the Security 9 ships with two 15 round magazines (where permitted), and the fit and finish are equal to any other service pistol on today\u2019s market. The frame is stippled for a better grip, and the slide features front and rear serrations for easier operation. There is also a decent-sized length of Picatinny rail in front of the trigger for adding a light or a laser. All in all, the Security 9 is not lacking for features, making its low price seem even more attractive.\u00a0<\/span>
