![]() The rear sights, however, can be adjusted for windage.Ĭontrols are standard, with both a manual safety and slide lock located on the left side. The sights come with a white-dot front that is fixed and a white-U rear that is similar to Glock sights. The accessory rail measures just over an inch, which is plenty for attaching most lights or lasers. The Compact also comes with pretty much the same features as the full-size Security-9. The grip texture provides retention, but isn’t overly aggressive it makes for comfortable and secure handling at the range or on the street. The feel of this 9mm pistol is quite nice, especially with the extender on a magazine. This extender allows for a full, three-finger grip on the pistol for control and accuracy. However, Ruger includes an extender that easily replaces the base plate on one of the 10-round steel magazines. The average shooter, myself included, can’t obtain a full-hand grip when using the flush-fit magazines.

It also came with an integrated trigger safety and a manual safety on the left side. The Security-9 featured good texture on the glass-filled, Nylon grip frame, drift-adjustable rear sights and full-length guide rails. It also means this pistol is hammer-fired, not striker-fired. The company claims, “The Secure Action combines the smooth trigger pull of the LCP with the short, crisp and positive reset of a single-action.” Basically, this action provides a trigger pull similar to a single-action pistol, along with an easier to rack slide. Ruger introduced the full-size Security-9 back in 2017, featuring an improved version of the Secure Action firing system originally brought out with the LCP II. ![]() This includes the Ruger Security-9 Compact.
