 Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in today. We're looking at the new Ruger security 9 Compact new release from Ruger It's a smaller model of the Ruger security 9 that people love when Ruger came out with the security 9 They absolutely loved it Ruger kept the price down It's selling at your local gun store for right around three hundred dollars and the trigger action the hammer Fired mechanism was all taken from the LCP to that that people really liked they added it to the security 9 and many people Really enjoyed this gun and I'm one of them. I shoot it very well and For right around three hundred dollars at your local gun store. I think it's a pretty good deal But now they came out with a compact which I consider a subcompact But Ruger is calling this a compact so there are no industry standards as to what is A subcompact a compact or a full-size gun. So it's Ruger's gun So therefore it is a compact. They did the same thing with the American series this is a Ruger American compact and You know, it's it's it's a great gun. I love that this gun but we'll just do a quick size comparison with The American compact here. We have the security 9 compact on the right-hand side and there you go The MSRP and this is 379. I'm seeing it on gunbroker already around 330 I think over time it'll be right where the security 9 is around 300 dollars, but check this out 3.42 inch barrel, which is identical to the Glock 26 10 round mags it does come with two 10 round mags both flat base plates They also add this finger extension in the in the box cardboard box And I added that on there because I do like the three finger contact That that offers it does not change the capacity at all Okay, you can see it's not a plus two or plus one or anything like that But much like the security 9 it does have a sandpaper-ish texturing nice nice grip there feels nice a little bit of an undercut There it does have the thumb safety All right, and so a lot of people like that it is it is indented enough so it will not it should not engage or deploy at all with Regular use but one quick sweep down with the thumb Makes it available a lot of people like thumb safeties. All right We tend to think that you know, they're they're a pain nobody likes them They can get in the way a lot of people use thumb safeties trust me But the trigger action is the same, okay nice trigger pull there And then your reset you're looking at almost at full position not quite Right there. Now it isn't pretty quick trigger. It does have a trigger bar safety It is a hammer fired gun exact same as the security 9 it does have drift adjustable rear sights you notch there front dot in with the front sight it does have front serrations and a Rail an accessory rail or 1913 rail there for the accessories They did a nice job with this. I Think they did an excellent job. Also while keeping the weight down. I noted before with the security 9. It's lighter than the average Compact size gun. This is too From what I can see witness hole there witness hole there to 10 round magazines. They did a pretty nice job Let's go ahead and get it on the scale. I Have this one here that is loaded. So we'll go ahead and check out the unloaded weight with This mag here and we'll see that It's weighing in it One pound five and seven eight ounces. We move that to just ounces We're looking at 21 and 7 8 ounces. Let's add 10 rounds here All right, the mag does have witness holes on both sides. You see that is a true 10 rounds 25 and 7 8 here's your round in the chamber for the carry weight 26 and a quarter ounces So that is not bad. I Think Ruger did a nice job Glass-filled nylon is nice Let's take a look at how it compares with a couple other guns in the same class We'll start out with the Walther PPQ subcompact the Slide length a little longer with the Walther about a half inch both of these carry 10 rounds And then here we have the Taurus G2C right this one's a little bit shorter by about a quarter of an inch and There's what we're looking at with the grip 12 rounds with the Taurus and here we have the Glock 26 now these are pretty identical You will note that it is very much similar in size and weight The disassemble process with this right is Not hard at all, but it does have a pin there that needs to be Taken down, so we'll go ahead and do that now. I find it easiest just to take a pocket knife and To pull that pin out you just have to give it a little turn there underneath here We have a captured recoil spring and guide rod and here is your barrel It does have an integrated barrel bushing right there So it looks kind of cool. It's pretty tight. You know, it's there's no There's no wobble with it When manipulating the slide and there's your frame And the glass-filled nylon is different than polymer. It's very close But it has a little different feel and you those who who uh Feel Ruger guns know what I mean that that glass-filled nylon just has a little different feel to it and here we're gonna put That part up. Yeah a little different feel to it And many people love it. This is a nice gun. I think it will do well for Ruger and I will be taking this to the range and Taking you guys along check it out Should be fun.
