U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE-RGR) 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. Extended, 15-round magazines are also available for purchase at ShopRuger.com.
The Security-9 family shares the same Secure Action used in the LCP II, which 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. Additional safety features include an 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.
The American-made Security-9 Compact is constructed around a rigid, precision-machined, hard-coat anodized aluminum chassis with full-length guide rails and a blued, through-hardened alloy steel slide and barrel. Identical to the full-size model, this pistol also features eye-catching sights, a textured grip frame and an easy-to-rack slide.

Some people whine about the manual safety. It’s pretty simple. If you don’t like it, set the safety to FIRE and carry or don’t buy one. I have a 3 and 5 year old and I don’t want a gun in the house without a manual safety. That’s just one more layer of protection when it comes to an exploring child. I have the full size security 9 and I love it. I’m tempted to buy the smaller version as well.
Larrys Pistol and Pawn in Madson and Huntsville, Alabama has the new compacts for $299. Started today, so they may all be gone already.
I own and shoot a Glock 19. It’s just sweet. I was at the range a while back, and my buddy had the security 9. Never seen one before, at least up close. He let me run some rounds at the range, wow. I was impressed. I thought I was shooting my Glock. And again, wow. Before I left the range, I went into the store and bought one. Great gun.
When will there be more parts available for the Security 9 compact version?
Where can I get the steel center with 20 pound spring for my Security 9?
As a lefty, myself, we just learn to adapt. I love my Security 9. It is not modified for my use, being left handed, but it’s such a great gun. Would buy it again.
I have a full sized security 9 and a taurus G2C and tend to carry my Ruger more often even though it is bigger. It fits my hand well and as a woman, it is quite managable. I would love to try shooting the compact just bc I already am a fan of Rugers in general.
$299 at Academy for full size love my Security 9
I like my SR9C as compared to this new gun. The SR9C has ambidextrous mag releases and I can carry 10 rounds or 17 if I so choose. No need to buy two guns for this option.
Did they fix the plastic shaft on the center spring yet? If not I would recommend you upgrade w/ steel and a 20 lb spring. Much better recoil for $30.
