It features a rugged construction with black oxide, through-hardened alloy steel slide and barrel and high-performance, glass-filled nylon grip frame. Textured grip frame provides a secure and comfortable grip. It also has a precision-machined, hard-coat anodized aluminum chassis with full-length guide rails.
Ruger Security-9 9mm Pistol For Sale
Utilizes Ruger’s safe, reliable and proven Secure Actionfire-control system that combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger. Internal, Secure Action hammer provides strong ignition force, yet allows for easier slide racking when compared with many striker-fired pistols. Front cocking serrations enable positive slide manipulation.
Safety features include integrated trigger 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.
The Ruger Security-9 semi-automatic is an attractive and affordable lineup of striker-fired 9 mm everyday carry pistols. They include different sizes, sight combinations, grip styles and can be had in either 10+1 or 15+1 capacities.
These guns have been nicely designed, avoiding snags and with a harmony of lines that is neither too many nor too few. The slide has a flat top, beveled sides, beveled front and a rounded back. Rounded corners and soft edges abound. The muzzle is flush with the muzzle bushing. Except in a couple of places such as the familiar Ruger upside down Y pattern grip panels, all the lines seem functional. And even there, the styling has a function: brand identity!
Why Consider the Ruger Security-9?
Price and size vs. capacity would seem to be the strongest reasons to consider the Security-9. Its height, width, and length are almost identical to the G19 and it has the same 15+1 capacity. However, instead of a $500-$600 price tag, the Ruger comes in at $289-$380 (I’ve seen $289 already).
Its size and capacity make it a good choice for concealed carry, but it has other features that may appeal to some people. Being hammer fired, the slide is a bit easier to rack than that of a striker-fired gun. So people who have trouble with stiff recoil springs will better enjoy the Security-9. Also, the grip has a smaller circumference than that of many pistols, so those with smaller hands may like this pistol for that feature.
The Ruger Security-9 has a black oxide finished steel alloy slide and a fiberglass reinforced nylon polymer frame. Inside is a lightweight aluminum chassis with full-length guide rails. The slide has both front and rear forward facing diagonal serrations. A nice touch is that the serrations are bent forward half way to the top. The rearmost front serration aligns neatly with corresponding line where the frame expands just behind the three-slot Picatinny accessory rail under the recoil spring housing.
The Compact version’s alloy steel blued barrel is 3.42” long. This brings overall length to 6.52”. The slide width is 1.02”, height is 4.35, and weight is 21.9 ounces.
In contrast, the Standard version is bigger in every way except width, which is the same. Other dimensions are the 4” barrel, overall length of 7.24”, height of 5”, and still fairly light 24.3 ounce weight. It also has a four-slot Picatinny rail in lieu of the Compact’s three-slots.
In standard configuration, Ruger Security-9 guns are black and come with low profile dovetail sights. The front sight is fixed while the rear sight is drift adjustable. Their architecture is familiar, but they differ in detail from many superficially similar sights. The front white dot sight sits on a wide base versus the normal narrow base. The rear sight eschews the usual two white dot format for a white “U” shape and is adjustable for drift/windage.
Controls are non-ambidextrous and located on the left. However, they are nicely designed. They are small and flat for snag-reduction, but are still have nice tactile feel and optimal placement. The grips are nicely textured. The high-grip typical of striker-fired pistols makes the gun feel just right when fired, channeling reverse thrust into the operator’s hand.
These Rugers have a safety trigger with Ruger’s Secure Action system that delivers a crisp feel, a thumb safety and a hammer catch helps prevent the hammer from firing the gun unless the trigger is pulled. Let’s cover the specific Security-9 models and their differences
First, the Compact 10+1, Standard 10+1 and Standard 15+1. Each comes with two double-stack alloy steel magazines.
The next two models are the same but with Hogue Grip Sleeves that wrap around the grip and beavertail bottom, adding finger grooves and improving comfort and control.
The next step up are the two Viridian E-Series Red Laser models in Compact 10+1 and Standard 15+1 formats. They have the lasers but lack the Hogue Grip Sleeves.
Last of the most common models are the Pro series Compact Pro 10+1 and the larger Pro 15+1. They are the same as the standard models, albeit with high-visibility steel white dot tritium sights. They also have three magazines instead of just two.
There are additional models offering a variety of catchy colors. All come with the previously mentioned low profile sights.
Perhaps the most interesting is the Dark Earth Cerakoted 15+1 in the compact frame! It’s worth noting that the magazine juts out the grip though it has a nice compact adaptor magazine extension that looks like the pistol grip. It looks nice, and it’s very practical. However, the real dimensional benefit is in overall length, and not so much in height.
Other choices include a pair of 10+1 Turquoise frame compact guns. One model has a black slide while the other has a silver Cerakoted slide. Another black 10+1 is a limited edition Navy Seal Foundation model that’s different from the others because it features a tan trident along the top of the slide and some additional Navy Seal Foundation markings.
The standard size 15+1 guns optional finishes include black (with a Savage Silver slide), Cobalt Kinetic (with a Savage Silver slide), Coyote Brown, Dark Earth, Jungle Green and Turquoise (with a black slide).

Comfort, Controllability, & Capacity
The capacity is what one would expect from a pistol of this size, but which few deliver: 15 rounds in the magazine. Most guns with 15-round capacity have a taller grip than a G19, but this Ruger manages to match that height.
The Security-9 felt good in my medium-sized hands and allows for easy reach to the trigger. The controls seem well placed and I got no raw spots on my hands from abrasion or controls rubbing me while firing. It’s a comfortable gun.
My only gripe about shooting this pistol was the lack of any structure or texture on the forward frame for my support-hand thumb (this is a common complaint of mine) so I was unable to enlist the help of my thumb to mitigate muzzle flip. It’s likely that a bit of stippling there would help (if it’s possible to stipple a glass-filled-nylon frame). Muzzle flip wasn’t bad, after all the pistol has quite the low bore axis, but I’d prefer a landing for my thumb.
Components and Features
The slide is nicely contoured and has curved serrations front and rear. I found them to be easily grippable for slide racking. The hammer is concealed inside the slide so this looks and seems to work like a striker-fired pistol. The glass-filled nylon frame grip has texture identical to that on the LCP II, so it’s grippy, but mild. I still say it’ll require stippling for daily carry.
The trigger is almost exactly like that of the LCP II. It is very smooth and almost without a wall. It does not bind up before the break, but has more of a hammer-fired characteristic (since it is a hammer-fired gun). There is absolutely no overtravel, due to the built-in stop on the bottom of the trigger guard. The reset is a bit long for my taste. I short stroked the reset a time or two when shooting. That said, the trigger is really quite nice and I would not balk at this trigger on any of my guns.
The sights are drift adjustable and are, I believe, metal of some sort, though I cannot find information on just what material they’re made from. There is a thumb safety lever on the left side of the frame. It is small and unobtrusive, but I found it very difficult to operate. I could not use my strong-hand thumb to engage the safety, but managed to thumb it “off”. I had to use my support hand to engage the safety. Really stiff.
Some components that immediately got my attention were the aluminum (!) slide rails and the thin, contoured barrel. The slide rails are the full length of the internal components, but they’re made of aluminum. I don’t know how common aluminum slide rails are among firearms, but I cannot imagine this is a good choice, as the steel of the slide will surely wear down the rails in time.
The barrel is quite thin as compared to other 9mm pistol barrels, and it has that LCP contour toward the mouth of the barrel, rendering it paper thin at that point. Again, I’d prefer a thicker construction and have to believe this is a potential point of failure with much use.
