Ruger security-9 Pistol
The Ruger Security-9 is a budget-friendly 9mm Luger pistol that is popular for concealed carry, home defense, and recreational shooting. It was introduced in 2017 as a replacement for Ruger’s SR-Series and is known for its reliability and affordable price. The Security-9 features an internal hammer, a glass-filled nylon frame, and a “Secure Action” trigger system.
- Secure Action™ fire-control system: Combines an internal hammer with a bladed trigger safety for a smooth pull, clean break, and positive reset.
- Safety features: Includes an integrated trigger safety, a manual thumb safety, and a hammer catch that prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled.
- Easy to rack slide: The internal hammer design allows for a lighter recoil spring, making the slide easier to manipulate compared to many striker-fired pistols.
- Rugged construction: Features a through-hardened alloy steel slide and barrel, along with a lightweight, precision-machined aluminum chassis.
- High-visibility sights: Comes with a drift-adjustable rear sight and a fixed front sight.
- Accessory rail: A standard Picatinny rail is located on the dust cover for mounting lights or lasers.
- Magazines: The standard full-size model ships with two 15-round, double-stack magazines.
- Viridian laser: A version of the Security-9 is available with a factory-installed Viridian E-Series red laser sight.
- Hogue grip: Some models come with a pre-installed Hogue wraparound rubber grip.
- “Pro” series: These versions feature factory-installed tritium night sights and do not have a manual thumb safety.
- Exclusive color editions: Various retailers have exclusive color editions of the Security-9, such as Flat Dark Earth, Turquoise, and Coyote Brown.
