The Ruger Security-9 Compact delivers reliable performance in a concealed carry package that doesn't sacrifice shootability for size. This striker-fired pistol combines proven Ruger engineering with modern features shooters demand for personal protection and range training.
What Makes This Different
The Security-9 Compact features a genuine Picatinny rail for accessories, reversible magazine release, and ambidextrous manual safety - features often missing on budget-friendly pistols. The trigger mechanism provides a smooth, consistent pull with positive reset, while the grip texture offers secure control without being overly aggressive. At 23.7 ounces unloaded, it strikes an optimal balance between concealability and shootability that many compact pistols miss.
