Product Description

What's in the Box

  • Ruger Security-9 Compact 9mm Pistol
  • (2) 10-Round Magazines
  • (1) Finger Grip Extension Floorplate
  • Cable Lock
  • Owner's Manual

Ruger is proud to introduce 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. The attractive price point of both the full-size and compact models will have you wanting one of each.

The Security-9® Compact ships with two, 9mm Luger, 10-round, flush-fit steel magazines, which provide for greater concealability. Also included is one finger grip extension floorplate for added control. 

Firearm Features

  • Compact for easy concealment, the Security-9® is designed to fit a variety of available holsters.
  • Rugged construction with blued, through-hardened alloy steel slide and barrel and high-performance, glass-filled nylon grip frame.
  • Precision-machined, hard-coat anodized aluminum chassis with full-length guide rails.
  • The Secure Action used in the LCP® II and Security-9® 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.
  • Textured grip frame provides a secure and comfortable grip.
  • Dovetailed, high-visibility sight system with drift adjustable rear sight and fixed front sight. Sights can be easily changed out for different color
  • options (available separately).
  • 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; 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.
  • Safe, easy takedown with no special tools or trigger pull.
  • Also includes: two alloy steel magazines and one finger grip extension floorplate.

(4 out of 5) Pretty solid pistol
by from Miamisburg, Ohio on

Bought this to travel to California, where you cannot possess a magazine with more than 10 rounds. Accuracy is pretty good, considering its size and weight. The trigger is decent but a bit heavier and longer than I’m used to, since it’s an internal hammer where the trigger pull completes cocking the gun. I thought I wouldn’t like the internal hammer, but I’m a fan now. The one problem I have is the finish of the gun. I don’t carry this one a lot, but it shows quite a bit of wear from the holster. My other carry pistol is used much more, but its Cerakote finish shows almost no wear. I have to work like crazy to keep the rust away. The mag release had rust when I bought it, and there’s a spot on the slide that requires a lot of love.
