Concealed Carry Handguns – August 2019

Two steel alloy

10-round drop-free

magazines with

lush-it baseplates

are supplied

with the pistol. A

supplied inger grip

extension has been

installed on the

magazine on the

left. Witness holes

show even round

counts on the right

side and odd round

counts on the left

side.

The trigger pull of the Security-9

Compact pistol used for this evaluation

averaged 4 pounds, 1.3 ounces for

10 consecutive pulls, using a digital

Lyman Trigger Pull Gauge. I found

the trigger pull to have a feel that is

comparable with many striker-fi red

pistols, only about a pound lighter in

pull weight than most. I did fi nd that

trigger reset was a bit longer than I

prefer, but it was not objectionable

and it is both tactile and audible.

Both front and rear cocking serrations

are milled into the sides of the slide.

These serrations are deep enough

to allow a good grip on the slide but

without any sharp edges. Sights are

steel and use a single white dot in

front and a white outline in the rear.

Both sights are dovetailed into the

slide. The rear sight is drift adjustable

and is locked in place using a socket

head cap screw.

The matte black glass-fi lled nylon

frame has adequate but not too

aggressive texturing to allow for a

secure grip. A 1913 Mil-Std rail with

three cross slots is molded into the

dust cover. The magazine release is

reversible for left-handed shooters.

HOLSTER UP

A number of holster options are

available. Ruger offers multiple IWB

and OWB holsters in leather and Kydex
