![]() ![]() The barrel has 1:10 right-hand rifling and an integrated feed ramp all of which are blue finished. ![]() This process surface-hardens the barrel steel creating a hard and durable surface. Ruger uses a Through-Hardened barrel heat treatment on the alloy steel barrel. I experienced no trigger creep and, for a semi-double action hammer-fired trigger, the reset was very short. The takeup was rather short with a crisp and clean break. Out of the box, the trigger pull measures about 5.5 pounds with my improvised luggage scale trigger pull analyzer. However, to my surprise, the trigger pull and break are excellent. I halfway expected the trigger to have a strange feel. The hammer is moved to a half-cock position by the slide and then the trigger finishes the job when pulled. The trigger on the Security 9 is not a true double-action nor is it a traditional single-action. The Security 9 has a shrouded hammer that affects the way the trigger functions and performs. It is important to remember that this is not a striker-fired gun. ![]() The locations of these controls were well placed for easy operation without having to look at the pistol to find the correct location. The other controls such as the slide release, the magazine release, and the slide lock all performed as expected. The trigger guard is more than adequate if you shoot wearing gloves. Ruger even provides a short piece of Picatinny rail on the forward frame for mounting a light or laser. The ergonomics of this pistol are excellent. The controls on the Security 9 are well thought out and placed so that almost any hand size puts them in a convenient position. I am a big fan of the way Ruger sets up its pistols for comfortable shooting. All too often the grip angle is wrong, which leads to more felt recoil and increased muzzle flip for some shooters. One place that many budget gun manufacturers skimp is on the design and implementation of the grip texture and frame of their pistols. Since this is what I consider a budget gun, a detailed look at the operating parts is in order, especially if you intend to concealed carry this semi-automatic pistol. Let’s take the Ruger Security 9 apart and look at the individual components and see how they stack up. Steel sights with tritium inserts are a welcome addition to a pistol that may be carried as a concealed duty pistol or a backup pistol. One other improvement to the Pro series variants of the Security 9 is the factory-installed all-steel tritium night sights. One of the major improvements of the LCP ii over the original LCP was the slide lock when the magazine was empty. In 2016, Ruger introduced an upgrade and slightly larger version of the LCP under the model name LCP ii. The design proved very popular with customers. The Ruger LCP came to the market as an ultra-light self-defense gun. In the category of semi-automatic pistols, Ruger has a tradition that dates back many years. Ruger has a well-established reputation for designing and marketing handguns. My Final Thoughts about the Ruger Security 9.My Likes and Dislikes about the Ruger Security 9. ![]()
