Ruger adds new Security-9 Compact
Sturm, Ruger has added a new, compact version of the popular Security-9® pistol. Smaller, lighter and more concealable than its full-size counterpart, the Security-9 Compact is ideal for everyday carry with an overall length of 6.5” and weighing in at just under 22 ounces. It ships with two, 9mm 10-round, flush-fit steel magazines for greater concealability, with a one finger grip extension floorplate for added control. Extended, 15-round magazines are also available. The Security-9 family shares the same Secure Action used in the LCP® II, which is derived from the reliable and proven hammer-fired LCP fire control system. The Secure Action combines the smooth trigger pull of the LCP with the short, crisp feel and positive reset of a single-action. Additional safety features include an integrated trigger safety; external manual safety; neutrally balanced sear with significant engagement and strong spring tension; and hammer catch to help prevent the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. This Compact is constructed around a rigid, precision-machined, hard-coat anodized aluminum chassis with a blued alloy steel slide and barrel.
