Ruger Security 9 1000 Round Review
[Applause],whats up guys this is the honest outlaw,here and today were gonna be doing a,pretty highly requested review a review,of a gun that Ive had almost more,requests than any other gun were gonna,be talking about the Ruger security 9,the Ruger security 9 is a very,budget-friendly 9-millimeter hammer,fired gun with a 4-inch barrel that,comes with 215 round magazines before to,get into the review though I want to,mention my patient supporters thank you,guys very much I really appreciate all,your support it goes a long way buying,guns and gear for the channel 4 review,because of that we do a monthly giveaway,you can be entered in the monthly,giveaway by just being a patron,supporter this month is going to be the,Ontario rat 3 knife and a k-bar knife,this giveaway it should be done I think,next week I also want to mention amo,comm theyre a longtime supporter of the,channel Ill leave a link in the,description below for 20 bucks off any,order of 200 bucks or more now back to,the review it is a nine-millimeter,hammer fired pistol with a 4-inch barrel,a glass nylon filled grip and it comes,with two 15 round magazines and it also,happens to be extremely budget-friendly,making it a very popular pistol not,everybody can afford a thousand dollar,pistol and everybody deserves the right,to defend themselves so I really like,reviewing these budget-minded pistols it,is an interesting action that combines,the trigger pull of the LCP and they,tried to make it a little bit shorter,and crisper and have a little bit more,positive reset similar to a single,action as opposed to a double action,trigger this looks like a striker fired,pistol but it actually has a hammer,right here if you can see that and its,more of a double-action pistol you can,see that when I rack the slide the,hammer is cocked and you can see there,the hammer actually disappears after you,pull the trigger now an interesting,thing about this pistol that makes it a,little bit unique when youre trying to,drive fire its generally with a pistol,you can rack it a little bit like that,and pull the trigger however that is not,the case on the security 9s I go all the,way back and [ __ ] that hammer for the,trigger to go same goes for the reset if,youre dry for are practising all the,way back for it to reset another unique,thing about the security 9 with that,with,that action is that its supposed to,make it easier to rack the slide its,supposed to be easier to rack the slide,than a standard polymer-framed pistol,however from my experience I dont,really see that I think its pretty much,the same or at least on par with all the,other pistols that I felt it doesnt,feel any easier to rack personally in my,opinion if you want to get something,like that going with the smith and,wesson,ez that pistol is actually really easy,to chamber around especially and thats,good for people with arthritis elderly,people or maybe a very small framed,person who just doesnt have the,strength to rack the slide of a normal,pistol totally understand that but if,thats you and thats why youre,thinking about buying this gun i would,go with the easy its a good all-around,pistol it comes in a very light 23,ounces and has a 4-inch barrel so its,pretty good at concealed carry its very,lightweight very concealable you,wouldnt have a problem carrying this,all day,it also comes with an accessory rail a,Picatinny rail so you can put a light on,it so it would be a pretty decent home,defense gun as well so if you have three,hundred dollars to spend and you want a,gun to defend your home with and you,also want a gun you can carry all day,the security nine is a pretty reasonable,choice reliability is the most important,part of a firearm especially for defense,and the Ruger security nine isnt the,most reliable pistol Ive reviewed but,its not the worst either for around the,300 dollar price range youre going to,run into a few little quirks and,problems with a lot of pistols and the,security 9 is no exception it kind of,reminds me of the Kanak and reliability,pretty good but occasionally have a,little bit of bobble I have a thousand,rounds for this gun and I only had I,think I had two or maybe three failures,now well get an accuracy thats not,great either the sights are traditional,Glock sights they look awful similar you,can see there and its got that white,box with the white dot in the front,theyre not the worst sight picture in,the world Ive seen worse sights Ive,seen just regular flat black sights Ive,even seen sights that really dont have,a rear sight just has a front sight so,these arent bad for the price range now,were going to take the route of,security 9 here,shooted at 50 yards all right so not the,most accurate gun Ive ever shot at,least for me I think some of that is the,interface with the trigger a lot of my,shots are going high which is strange,for me,I dont usually miss high so I have to,assume some of that its part of the gun,they just dont have that great of a,sight picture and theyre also not going,to be that reliable over time polymer,sights do break I know that some people,will come on that comment section say,Ive never seen one break and Ive had I,think two sets of polymer sights break,in my time or get loose and come out of,the dovetail so not the best but again,not the worst either the trigger however,is something that Im not a huge fan of,and it gave me some accuracy issues that,I didnt expect because the ergonomics,of the pistol feel really good well get,into that in a second the gun feels,really good in your hand and its kind,of strange because youll be shooting it,at Target and you just wont be hitting,it and youre not really understanding,why the sight picture looks good,everything looks good but then when you,pull the trigger for some reason it,doesnt go where you want it and I dont,know if thats me not getting used to,the gun or if thats you know sometimes,you just dont vibe with a firearm what,can I say,but I really think a lot of it is that,trigger it has a very spongy trigger and,then it has a big wall here that you,have to overcome that I would say is,probably around five and a half six,pounds it feels stronger than a Glock,trigger it feels a little bit heavier so,maybe even seven pounds I kind of guess,in here with my little finger way its,just a weird trigger its got a lot of,travel all the way through it as you can,see there because it is kind of a double,action so its got a little bit longer a,little bit spongy or trigger youre just,gonna have to eat you,sooo I mean if you dont like that there,are other options that Canada is the,same price and it has a significantly,better trigger,however Ruger is an American company no,get in to shoot ability now I said the,accuracy wasnt awesome and the shoot,ability really wasnt that awesome,either it was a little bit snappy part,of that is because it has very very weak,texturing on the grip I like the grip,angle however the grip feels a little,bit small to me as you can see there I,can cover almost all of it up with my,single hand it doesnt have the back,straps to adjust that and I know a lot,of people dont care about that and,think its a gimmick I actually like the,back straps and every gun that I review,I put the large back strap on but it,just feels a little bit weird in my,hands when I shoot although it was,definitely suitable it was definitely,usable like if I had this as a carry gun,and I knew it was perfectly reliable,would I be okay with the accuracy the,shoot ability I think Id be fine with,it I can still pile off some rounds,close range and I can still hit at a,decent distance so for three dollars I,think its pretty reasonable,[Music],now given the ergonomics as I said the,grip texture is not the best Ive seen,worse but its certainly not the best if,it were me I would put a town grip of,some type on this the magazine release,works okay its just fine I wouldnt,change anything about it trigger,undercuts pretty reasonable,I like how they slice the slide here to,match iRuger Security-9
r.i.p headphone users hows that,security 9 or is that security 18 when,you have two of them haha what a genius,I am,comic ya security 9 for Meru grrrrrr,were gonna shoot it were gonna talk,about it a lot of you been asking me,about it already in the last week or two,since it was released and so got a,couple of them and I do have some,opinions so I will share them with you,okay one of the while both of them came,from buds one of them is for the e,Gunnar get my ears off here one of them,is for the e Gunnar auction the old one,I bought,alright well talk about that but I have,two of them so it makes it a lot nicer,for the the review alright so we,appreciate buds helping us out providing,one of these lending one of them to us,you know well send it back and itll be,auctioned off as most of you already,know for the e Gunnar auctions that they,have 10% goes to the Second Harvest,Foodbank here in Middle Tennessee and we,appreciate that okay also before we talk,about these too much dont forget to go,down through the description if youre,not an NRA member I hope youll join and,join the fight alright we appreciate,that you know you get a discount there,click on the link in our description or,at our website were going to shoot,federal ammo we definitely appreciate,their help we are so fortunate to have,people who helped us out support what we,do here and so we can bring a lot of,cool stuff to you what we think its,pretty cool,although cool is not the criteria for,everything a lot of people would think,oh no another polymer wonder 9 there is,definitely nothing cool about that you,all see comments you know that theyre,not everybodys cup of tea,in fact some people just despise them,they hate them,oh no no their glock look alike and you,know that kind of thing but those of us,who are into the shooting sports weve,been carrying for a while were into,firearms pretty seriously or have been,into them very long,we tend to take them for what they are I,think Im cuz Im speaking for myself no,theyre not necessarily pretty you know,you know how much I like a good old,Smith & Wesson revolver good old double,action or a Colt single-action or a nice,1911 I like those farms more than these,really but man what comes to function,and self-protection self defense home,defense or whatever its hard to beat,some of these things because theyre so,utterly reliable and they hold a lot of,ammo may work yeah,so if someone said dont fall in love,with your carry gun just get something,that works its a hammer its a tool so,its like your wallet you dont have to,be in love with it it just needs to work,and do what its supposed to do all,right and Ill prepare another lecture,for you in the next video sorry about,that,uh yeah this is the security 9 and Ive,been reading up about it and I knew we,wanted to you know request one from buds,which I did and oh man they sell for,like 300 or under 300 I think they run,generally but Topanga where you find,them and whos having a big sale or,whatever between 275 and 300 is you know,the real price on them you can get them,for and so I thought no this is going to,be a popular pistol from all indications,new gir its probably gonna work and it,looks pretty cool I looked at some of,the specs on it,you know what that thing it doesnt,weigh any more than a Glock 19 it holds,the rounds and everything it looks like,the similar configuration and look at,the price this thing I dont know how it,can not be fairly popular okay and so I,wanted to have one that I didnt have to,send back after we did a video or two,and so maybe for future comparison sand,that kind of thing and of course its,nice to having the original video so,thats why I bought it all right and I,have been shooting both of them Joe has,been shooting them and we have developed,opinions on this firearm and Ill give,you some of the specs and,the deal on the firearms you know I may,forget something thats okay somebody,will cover all that but Ill give you,the basic specs and shoot them and let,you know what I think about it all right,thats thats what you pay me for its,what you pay John and me for right so,bottom line is its not a bad pistol,okay thats my general opinion of it and,I dont want to keep repeating the,phrase for the money,but I probably will so but anyway for,the money,it is quite a pistol all right it really,is I know Ill repeat that its quite a,pistol now if youre comparing it with,maybe your favorite sig p320 or your,Glock 19 or your Walther your H&K or,some other farms you might have the,impression thats I dont know if its a,little cheap its kind of a giant LCP to,which Ive got out here I didnt really,want a giant LCP – Id rather you know I,have a $600 gun or whatever okay I get,that but it really for again for the for,300 bucks Ill use that as a nice round,figure for $300 and which is essentially,half of what a lot of these other,popular like the Glock 19 you know,youre talking about around half so,thats the big attraction here in,addition to the fact it needs to be a,good pistol all right so not bad not bad,let me load it up Ill shoot mostly the,the one thats one of you are going to,end weve got a couple more max here,Ive got one with hollow points you know,the federal HST Ill shoot it after I,shoot this one and I have shot hollow,points out of both of them and Ive not,had an issue okay the other thing I was,doing there to start out I thought lets,start out dual wielding since we have,two of these were gonna use a steel,target or the paper target and I thought,you know what lets just shoot into the,targets because I wasnt aiming at,anything as you could probably tell and,I said this will be maybe an,illustration that how much you can miss,if youre not really aiming and I said I,told John before we started now watch,Ill feed everything I dont think I hit,anything,I mean barely anything so theres,nothing like having sights on a firearm,and using them okay you cant beat,deliberate fire like this you know its,just hard,its just hard to be take a name I think,its empty it was frozen yeah oh yeah,theres no water in it minor detail okay,weve got hollow points oh you know what,you guys always give me a hard time for,not shooting a two-liter when I have,hollow points in it sometimes it makes a,little difference sometimes it doesnt,they have another ground there doesnt,seem completely deceased having over,there either lets put a hollow point on,the gong Im gonna try a pig Ill,probably have one shot left or something,there we go wow I didnt count my shots,well did I a lot of shots left,I killed enough game after I thought the,gun was gonna be empty to feed us for a,few months so anyway the only that I,reminded me John Ive been shooting the,only issues weve had its kind of,figured out exactly where to hold they,both print a little bit high not much,Id rather than print a little high than,low hate that and and theyre easy to,pull left if youre not really focused,but yeah they seemed to shoot right on,its this all user error if you do shoot,left or youre shooting too high and,that sort of thing okay so you can see,its shoots and its again $300 in that,range so interesting firearm this is the,e gunner one yeah I got serial numbers,memorized being the genius I am,and one mix them up well for one thing,they track them you know,they said them to me sitting back we,make sure on the certificate that I feel,out and everything when someone buys it,wins it at the auction and I,authenticate that and all that kind of,thing we dont want to mix them up let,me to break down real quick here now it,is it really is a in so many ways the,LCP to just beefed up steroids or,whatever,it really is you can see that contour,get some grip tape on this but you can,see the the same kind of rough on the,grip which is kind of nice thats a big,thin trigger guard the same hammer fire,action okay so if you hate the LCP – and,the the action on it trigger pull you,might not like it it is exactly the same,essentially and I dont mind it kind of

Ruger Security 9 Range Review – TheFirearmGuy
hey there friends thanks for checking in,at the range now,and today were looking at the ruger,security 9.,this was released in late of 2017,a lot of people liked it one of the,things that made it unique was,what ruger is calling the secure trigger,action,and that is basically the same,technology from,the ruger lcp2 it does have an internal,hammer there,five and a half pound trigger 15,round magazines the nsrp on this is,379. it is selling for right around that,in todays market so i think its priced,fairly,and a lot of people like it i i like it,ive had it,since it was released and it,has proven to me to be a very nice,handgun,four inch barrel five and a half pound,trigger pull,lets go ahead and take a few shots and,see how this beauty fires for me,yep just as i remember it,they also have another model called the,compact,security 9 and that has,basically the same thing but a little,bit shorter,one of the things i want to show you is,right there,that is an integrated barrel bushing,and when the slide is dropped it locks,up nice and tight there also a,thumb safety right there,sweep down disengages that but when it,is engaged,not only will it lock the trigger but it,will also,lock the slide,its got a pin in front sight adjustable,rear sight you can see that it does have,the,the goal post looking site there also,front serrations make it nice for the,press check,but lets go ahead and load it up and,well take a few more shots,the ruger security 9 is actually pretty,light compared with,other guns in the same class 23 ounces,unloaded 29.5 ounces loaded with,15 rounds it also does not have,a magazine disconnect and ive noticed,that ruger is,kind of moving away from that at least,with the security series,and the american series which in my,estimation,is a good move lets try to,transition one shot at a time with each,of these targets,rather quickly well see how i do,all right all right lets see if,the security 9 will charge around with a,mag slammed home,and it does how about a lipress test,[Applause],on that one,all right security nine,still impressing,so there it is ruger security nine,i also have the compact model its a,little bit shorter,its just as nice basically the same,thing but i,certainly enjoy this gun and i think it,really is,priced well if you like videos like this,please subscribe,and share i always appreciate thumbs up,button,thanks for watching and you guys be safe

Taurus G3 VS Ruger Security 9 : Battle of the Budget 9
the Ruger security 9 versus the Taurus,g3 lets check it out,[Music],guys there are so many different,offerings out there for self-defense and,one of the benefits of that is were,getting not only really high quality,guns and a lot of great technology and,innovation but were also getting,budget-friendly guns that just work that,are reliable that are accurate and that,are dependable and so were going to,take a look at two budget-priced,firearms and this is the Ruger security,9 and then the tarush g3 now Ruger has,always been known for having really,budget-friendly firearms and yet have,really good quality I just did a review,on the P 85 thats been around for a,long time and it was true then and its,still true today the Ruger security six,is a good solid option and Taurus has,also made budget-friendly firearms for a,long time really one of my first,experiences is with the PT 92 which is a,Beretta licensed copy those were great,firearms now Taurus in the past has had,some quality issues but guys Im telling,you over the past few years Taurus has,really stepped up their game and this g3,is excellent so while we have two,budget-priced firearms these are two,great options and were going to look at,some advantages and disadvantages of,both the Battle of the budget really,tightens now with these two firearms,theres not a winner or a loser these,are both good solid firearms theyre,accurate theyre reliable and they have,good quality one of the things again,about Taurus is is theyve really,stepped up their game with the TX 22 the,g 2 compact and then with the g3 I think,theyve really gone to another level,with the Ruger they do offer some more,advanced or better quality firearms but,this is made for budget and yet you,still have you know the things that you,need for self defense lets go ahead and,drop our magazine check make sure that,chamber is empty now they both come with,two magazines theyre both 15 round,capacity this is more of a blued finish,while this is more of a matte finish and,I believe Matt Garr makes these mags for,tourists but there is a 70,plus one extended mag that comes with,the g3 or you can get the 215 rounders,so thats definitely an advantage it,does hang out just a little bit farther,but it does give you that extra capacity,now the two finishes on the slide are,definitely different we have kind of a,matte anodized finish on the g3 on the,security nine we have more of a blued,Stone wash its not really a polished,blue its kind of a matte finish,I think the Ruger is going to hold up,better for scuffs and different,scratches whereas you know with this,matte finish it can scuff up some and so,thats definitely a plus for the,security nine and actually they do come,in a number of different colors both of,them a stainless steel model with the g3,and there are a number of different,models with the Ruger both have front,and rear cocking serrations I do like,the groover a little better theyre a,little wider theyre easier to get but,the Taurus has a little more aggressive,texturing so I feel like it gives it a,little bit more of a bike while the,Ruger a little bit wider but definitely,its easy to grab very smooth slide the,frame on the security 9 is kind of a,glass filled nylon its fairly smooth,now it has really nice panels that are,laser etched and then on the Taurus we,have more of a traditional polymer feel,to it and then its a much more,aggressive texturing in the grip now Im,going to tell you at the range putting,these two together the Taurus definitely,felt better in your hand it felt like it,was going to stay in your hand whereas,the Ruger was a little bit slick and so,I definitely feel the Taurus has a,little bit of an advantage also we have,these memory pads right here and this is,a natural place for you to put your,finger I really like that much better,than even texturized pads just kind of,Nestles right here with the Ruger,theres no pad or any kind of,indentation but your finger should,definitely come up to this point when,youre finished shooting both have frame,mounted safeties but theyre different,this one you pop it up with the river,you pop it up from the back which takes,a little bit of getting used to but then,its really natural just to bring down,and then of course with the Taurus its,real easy to manipulate now one of the,things about having a,safety is just because you have a,trigger blade on both of these the,trigger safety you dont need to,discount this safety because it can get,knocked and so its really important,when you train to make sure that you,engage your safety and you bring it down,and that goes for both handguns,now the sights are definitely different,theyre both polymer but the Taurus has,a three dot configuration its kind of,small but then we have the Ruger which,has the goalpost and then the front dot,this is really clear at the range but,there are different sight options after,market sight options you can get for,both pistols bore axis is really low on,both you know its definitely a low bore,axis which I really like and both have a,loaded chamber indicator right here at,the end of the barrel and you can see,the brass through it but I like that,theyve done away with a little lever,that goes right here on the g2 and,theyve got away with the lever that,goes on the sr9 so this is very simple,and it actually aids in this being more,of a budget price firearm the sly stops,are also a big difference with the,Taurus with it in the lock position you,can still engage your slide stop to a,slide release with the Ruger it is,minimal and its tight its pretty,difficult without a round in the chamber,to bring this down in fact you cant,really even do it hardly so if you have,a round in the chamber though its not,that difficult to hit the trigger guards,are a little differently shaped but I,feel like that the river security 9 has,more of an open area here for gloved,hands you have a little more room for,your trigger finger and the river has,serrations on the front of the trigger,guard whereas the g3 does not but it,does have this little angle that comes,out to let your finger rest on it both,have accessory rails the Ruger has four,slots in the Taurus has three the,magazine releases are different shaped,but you can switch them to the other,side for left-handed shooters now as far,as overall size putting the security 9,on the g3 you have a little bit more of,an extension down here this is going to,make this a little better for concealed,carry and then when it comes to overall,length I think that the Taurus is,actually just about an eighth of an inch,longer but really pretty close to the,same size weight all the security nine,1 pound 8 ounces weight on the torus g3,1 pound 8 point 6 ounces now the,security 9 though is an internal hammer,this is not a striker fire pistol and if,you look right into this slot you pull,the trigger you see the hammer move and,so it gives it a little bit of a,different trigger pull action but it is,pre cocked so you have a very smooth it,really almost feels like a striker fire,pistol but one of the problems is is,reset is really far out and that has to,do with the hammer and then bring it,right back on put the Taurus g3 of,course you have your trigger blade just,like you do on the security 9 we have,some take-up and its a crisp break but,then its a little bit spongy but then,reset is really short and so you get a,little better trigger action to me with,the g3 but even though the g3 is a,striker fire pistol,it does have second strike capability,that means when I pull the trigger that,hits a dead round watch the trigger it,pops all the way back out and its,cocked again I really like that feature,now with the Glock when you pull the,trigger it stays in this rear position,and so this gives you a little bit of an,advantage with the g3 over other striker,for our pistols now with the security 9,when you pull that trigger it hits a,dead trigger so if you happen to hit a,dead round youre gonna have to recog,the firear
Ruger Security 9 Review (Another Ruger 9mm Pistol Review)
welcome to firearms of america today im,back here at shooters in fort marsh,florida about to do the review of,another ruger and this time it is a,ruger,security nine now uh this particular one,has a 10 capacity magazine and four inch,barrel uh but there are a lot of,different models theres a compact,version there is the one with 15,capacity theres a little bit of a,shorter barrel a little bit of long,theres theres plenty of i dont know,why why they decided to do so many,different options for this particular,gun but,all of them are pretty much,similar to this one so i decided to get,this particular one kind of in between,all of the other models,so lets put some five rounds through it,and,see what this can do now like i said,this particular one is a,10 capacity magazine um as you can see,it has a plastic gray follower,fairly,easy to load but not as easy as some,other ruger models like for example,ruger american is a little bit easier to,load that magazine compared to this one,as you can see it is numbered over here,uh,between four six eight and ten and on,this side is five seven and nine,well i guess somebody thought it was a,good idea uh,lets uh,lets see if i can hit that little,orange,that one right there,orange little,circle on the top,all right fairly easy to rack,all right,not too shibby,all right and like back on the slide so,lets start from the very beginning as,you can see this is not a one-hand,operation slight release so you actually,have to pull the slide,backwards,or maybe even remove the magazine yeah,so a little bit of a pain this gun okay,uh you cant just release the slide with,the magazine you have to remove it uh,not a fan of that operation but okay it,is what it is so lets start with the,grip as you can see theres a pretty,good actually pretty good stippling over,here pretty good amount of aggression um,got it on the back,got it on the front,it fits pretty good decent ergonomics,not as good as ruger american in my,opinion but still,pretty decent not a big deal now we got,our mag release very small,um,works very well its not ambidextrous,keep that in mind same thing with the,slide slide release is not ambidextrous,safety that we have here we have our,manual safety which,does not want to engage,unless you have it racked if you have it,racked it does engage and it locks the,trigger on place as you can see,and to engage it its up to disengage it,is down,all right so,nothing is evident extra so if youre,left-handed probably not a gun for you,now the slide itself is uh,fairly easy fairly smooth,to rack you have your rear serrations,here you have your front serrations so,however you want to rack it you can,freaking rack it doesnt freaking matter,we have our uh accessory rail if you,want to put some uh,flashlight or a laser,if youre that type of person and uh we,have our aggression,on the front of the trigger guard if,youre this,type of person,because why not so lets put some five,more rounds,through this gun,and uh,its pretty accurate i have to say this,gun,i did not expect it to be this accurate,now,four inch barrel,for a nine millimeter i would say this,is uh,pretty good,uh this probably,i would say,ruger were trying to kind of uh,hit on a glock 19. this is what this is,kind of,feeling that i get,thats what they try to do,did they do a good job,yeah its its its better than their,previous models is it fantastic,yeah i dont know but uh still pretty,good so,ah yeah well i ruined the top target,lets ruin the bottom target why not,not too bad,honestly its definitely more accurate,than i uh expected it,to be,so lets talk about the trigger,if i can,yeah oh there you go you cant do it if,you if you try hard enough you can,alright see,so lets see trigger we have our safe,action,not a safe action this is a side faction,is a glock but this is similar to block,safe action all right,this thing and then we have about two,and a half millimeters three millimeters,of,safe familiar travel and then,about one millimeter of unknowingness,and then,crisp snap so trigger on this is,actually better than on the ruger,american because they had a little bit,too much merchandise to it this one is,not this one is more crispy good balance,between the kind of a combat tactical,trigger and the trigger that you can,shoot for accuracy so not bad at all,lets move on to the sides theres,another thing that kind of reminded me,of glock thats why i brought it up look,at that wow have you seen a size like,this somewhere else,yes yes ive seen size like this in fact,pretty much just like this,on a glock thats right and,is this a night sight let me let me turn,on the light,no this is not night sides,so heres your answer this is not night,size so,lets put some five rounds last five,rounds maybe,and then well try to come up with a,conclusion see,if overall i like this gun honestly,compared to what ruger had the handguns,that the ruger had before,uh before this gun this is a huge huge,improvement on rugers side so well done,guys at ruger,would i fix a few things about this gun,yes yes i would fix that slide release,im not a fan of the slide release not,good slight release at all in my opinion,safety,a little bit rough operation of the,safety,yeah,its its,i dont mind the safety being hard to,engage,its easy to disengage thats the,important part thats good so as long as,the safety is easy to disengage,thats the important part and this is,the case here so im not going to,complain too much about the safety plus,as you can see here it does have a very,nice,extension on the safety so you can use,it as,as your um,part of your grip for a good recoil,management so this is this is this is,good,uh lets uh,lets see maybe i should try to hit them,flipping battles with this gun lets see,lets see if its doable,its doable,so,overall pretty good uh good trigger uh,decent grip decent decent uh ergonomics,overall my biggest complaint is with the,slide release i just wish it was,i just wish it was better um and another,thing that im not a fan of the slide,release is this,as you can see theres this uh on the,frame,theres this groove going around the,slide release and its a little,just does not,this does not feel good but the slide,itself its very easy to rack the spring,is good it handles the recoil very well,if there is a round in the magazine,or there is no magazine as you can see,the slide is very smooth which is i,would say a huge upgrade to all the,other previous models that uh ruger had,before this one the sides are very good,as well,just your normal three basically,glock sides i guess they did it i dont,know why they did it,but they did it everybody knows the,glock size when they see one so i dont,know how ruger thought that,this part right here was a good idea,not to look like a copycat but hey,whatever listen it works okay you cant,be accurate with this its a good size,um its a good gun overall for the price,um,its similar to block 19s price but,which one i would personally go with you,already know which one i would go with,uh but this is a pretty good option too,so thank you very much guys for watching,let me know in the comments below what,do you think about,this ruger security 9 what do you think,about this review if you have any,requests for reviews drop them in the,comments below and i will be happy to,address them thank you guys for watching,this was firearms for america ill see,you guys in the next video,you
Ruger American Compact vs. Ruger Security-9
which one might be the better one for,you,[Music],so Ruger has indeed been hitting it out,of the park lately,and I just recently reviewed this Ruger,American nine-millimeter compact for,guns America depending on when this,video is released and when that review,is released Ill put a link down below,if not keep an eye out for it its going,to tell you a lot more detail about this,specific pistol this video is a,head-to-head between the Ruger American,Compact in nine millimeter and the,brand-new Ruger security 9 obviously in,nine-millimeter as well question to,answer here if I can or at least,information to present so that you can,answer that own question for yourself is,which one might be the better one for,you okay so Im going to get myself,warmed up a little bit both figuratively,and literally and start taking a few,shots at that target downrange that,target is about 12 yards down range from,me Im gonna start out with the Ruger,American I havent shot this gun since I,initially reviewed it and its been a,little while since I did that work,thats a 12-round magazine I loaded it,to just ten because I hate uneven rows,in my ammo box but thats the 12 rounder,with the pinky extension Ruger American,Compact also comes with a 17 round,magazine with a sleeve on it for a full,grip fit which is really nice also I,just slammed the magazine in and the,slide did go forward chambering around,so that seems to be something new for,the Ruger family following after the M&P,family in that respect and I do have a,rubberized Talon grip on this gun as,well,let me try the flapper here so the Ruger,compact if you watch those hits a lot of,them right up here in this area on that,target because I was using a 6 oclock,hold so clearly at this distance again,about 12 yards it likes more of a center,hold come to switch over now to the,Ruger security 9 the brand new Ruger,security 9 I did my first hundred on it,recently and Im getting it right back,out I dont yet have a towel and grip on,it but there is one on the way and lets,check and see if this will yep chambers,that first round if you slam that,magazine good and hard again this one,does have a manual safety Im not going,to use it right now because I dont need,to but lets see how this one does and,if I remember correctly this one I think,has a pretty well center hold preference,too,okay I have not changed my grip I,basically froze in place slide locked,open we still have a round in the,magazine should have more than one,Im gonna alter Im going to go upside,down so that I can keep the gun in a,safe direction but I want you to look at,my grip I did not change anything and,theres nothing there that should have,prevented or should have locked that,slide back I did not have a thumb,anywhere near the slide stop see that,even if I was pressing this thumb my,rear thumb tight it was nowhere near the,slide stop and if it was on anything it,was the safety so the reason Im making,a big deal out of that is because that,happened in the first hundred and I,pointed it out and a couple people said,well you know one one in particular well,how do you know it wasnt you well and,Id you know I dont want to assert that,it wasnt me,but in this case as in that case Im,pretty sure it wasnt me so on we go,[Music],[Applause],[Music],once again so those of you who do like,that I guess thats a definite benefit I,kind of dont care that much either way,but the truth is I kind of prefer a gun,that doesnt send the magazine errors I,kind of prefer a gun that doesnt,chamber around or drop the slide when,you insert the magazine only because I,found that it doesnt work a hundred,percent of the time and I dont like,anything thats guesswork so all right,back at it you just go dump some at the,body of the target good stuff its nice,to get the security nine out again so,quick because its only been a couple of,weeks since I first looked at it and I,put about 160 if I recall through it on,the first hundred so its good to get it,right back out and look at it again I,have not cleaned it or done anything,with it since so this same thing all,right lets talk about why you might,want one of these guns over the other,and Ill start with some cold hard,numbers but one of the reasons I want to,talk about right off the bat was that,with the security 9 I actually got this,Ruger decal which Ive never gotten with,any other route before so that was a big,plus all right lets take a look at the,numbers barrel length is three point,five five inches for the American,security nine four inches even overall,length American Compact six point six,five and seven point two four for the,security nine so just about a half-inch,difference there height also about a,half-inch difference four point four,eight on the American Compact 5.0 on the,security,and thats a big number if youre,considering concealed carry the weight,of each gun is 28.74 the american,compact on 23.7 for the security 9 even,I can do that math thats five ounces,these were both polymer-framed and,polymer gripped pistols of course the,American does have the different grip,panels that you can put on has a palm,swell and back strap that you can swap,out of course I have a Talon grip on,mine so Im kind of locked in to the,size that I want which I believe is the,small it did come with the medium on it,security 9 is a one size only option,there are no other alternate back straps,and theres no way to change that out so,either like it the way it is or you,dont the sights on the Ruger American,Compact are steel and they are Novak low,mount 3 dot carry sights security 9 they,are constructed of polymer and they are,relatively fixed and they have that,interesting cup and ball the roof,american compact is a striker fired,handgun the Ruger security 9 has an,internal hammer that functions in what,is classified as double action only,Ruger American Compact is black nitride,finish over a stainless steel slide it,also has a stainless steel barrel Ruger,security 9 is blued in a black variety,and it is a steel alloy construction,both barrel and slide capacity is 17 or,12 with the magazines that come with the,American Compact 15 for both of the,magazines that come with the security 9,thickness is almost exactly the same,youre talking about just a couple,thousandths of an inch,1.05 for the american compact and 1.02,for the security 9 trigger pull was more,different than I thought it was going to,be the Ruger American pistol is,averaging about 7 pounds and that was me,doing five pulls on my Lyman digital,trigger pull gage,averaged seven pounds with five poles,average of the security nine was under,five pounds it was like four pounds and,14 ounces average and some of those were,actually in the four and a half pound,range so its a lighter and crisper,trigger on the security nine than it is,on the American pistol the just an,opinion grip indexes or indices if,youre a mathematician 2.9 with the,small installation on the grip 3.0 -,with the medium that comes with it and I,did not get a measurement on the large,3.1 is the grip index for the security 9,and again that cant be changed that is,what it is now heres the number of its,very big difference between the two MSRP,for the Ruger American Compact five,hundred and seventy nine dollars for the,security nine three hundred and seventy,nine dollars so exactly two hundred,dollars separate these two pistols now,lets talk about whether or not there is,two hundred dollars difference in value,or quality between the two,okay lets put a couple groups on paper,just to see what weve got between these,two in terms of my accuracy on this day,that is always the caveat right lets,start out with the American Compact got,the same number of rounds loaded in for,both guns even though the security nine,comes with 215 round magazines and the,American comes with a 17 and a 12 which,almost is the same but not quite Ive,got them both loaded 15 and 10 so Im,gonna start out with the American with,the 10 rounds Im shooting six hour,elite pe
Ruger Security 9 Review: Can a $300 Full Size 9mm be Any Good?
hey guys James game with tfbtv and today,Ive got the Ruger security 9 pistol for,review,what is the Ruger security 9 well its a,quasi compact 9-millimeter made by Ruger,that is made for you guys on a budget,youre looking at a street price of 300,bucks on this thing MSRP is three,hundred and seventy nine dollars but,Ive seen them on the Reg for three,hundred bucks the security 9 similar in,size to the Glock 19 even though it cost,a few hundred dollars less so it is,something that you could possibly carry,and its got a lot of features that,really lend itself to carry very low,profile but well get into that in more,detail later so Ive been messing with,the Ruger security 9 havent shot it yet,but Ive been messing with it over the,past few days and obviously when you,have a budget gun there are going to be,some corners that get cut in order to,save in the bottom line but River did,manage to pack a lot of features into,this $300 9-millimeter handgun and a lot,of those features arent even available,on guns that cost twice as much for,example the Ruger security 9 has rear,and forward slide serrations without,naming any names or calling anybody out,there are guns that cost one and a half,two and a half times as much that dont,even have forward slide serrations it,also has windage adjustable low profile,sights you can see here the sights a,very low profile low snag so if you do,decide to carry this concealed its very,unlikely that youre gonna get these,snagged on a piece of clothing or your,pocket or your holster or whatever it,also has a four slot Picatinny rail its,got very aggressive o most skateboard,tape texture for the grip but a word,about the trigger because Ive been,really impressed so far just dry firing,it this has got a better trigger than,many guns that cost twice as much and,when you think about the trigger on the,security 9 think about the trigger on,the LCP – I call it like a single and,1/2 action gun its not a true double,action right now the guns D cocked if it,were a true double action if I pulled,the trigger then it would [ __ ] the,hammer and yes this is a hammer fired,gun you can see a little hammer channel,back there you cant manually [ __ ] it,its similar to say the kel-tec p11 in,that theres an internal hammer but you,can see it from the rear a true double,action when I pull the trigger,well cut the hammer and release it with,this one what happens is when the action,cycles it partially [ __ ] the hammer and,by partial I mean its like 90% of the,way there and then your remaining,trigger pull brings the hammer back ever,so slightly and then slams it forward,into the titanium firing pin pretty,impressive that they put a titanium,firing pin in a budget gun and then you,have a pretty good tactile and audible,reset right there not the shortest Ive,ever felt but its not long either,certainly shorter than the more,expensive car series of pistols so all,in all youre looking at about a five,and a half pound to six pound trigger,that performs splendidly,now this gun was designed with Kari in,mind and you can tell by looking at the,left hand side of the gun yes this is,not an A&B gun at all this is a righty,configured gun but when you look at the,left hand side you can see that all the,buttons and levers are very diminutive,but Ive found that for the most part,theyre functional what I mean by that,is the magazine release is very tiny but,its easy to find and it works perfectly,its a slide release also its a little,tough on this gun so it doesnt work as,well as say other guns like the Ruger of,the old Rooter P series which had a more,robust slide lock lever but its low,profile its functional it works,finally youve got a thumb safety which,I commend Ruger for making this thumb,safety as small as it is and its even,got like a little platform for your,thumb but Ive found that its hit or,miss operations not too smooth in fact,if you put too much in word pressure,towards the frame of the gun then the,safety wont move you have to be very,cognizant that you dont put any inward,pressure on the lever otherwise youre,jammed up honestly if I were carrying,this gun Id probably carry it in fire,and speaking of smooth movement the,slide on this gun is pretty incredible,you really wont believe if you get your,hands on this how smooth the action is,in this gun for $300 Ts right now again,more cost cutting features youre,looking at a blued chrome moly slide so,this isnt something like a melon itíd,stainless slide or something that you,would get on the Ruger American which is,about $100 more expensive and is the,next step,speaking of the Ruger American the,magazines are not compatible between the,two the Ruger American magazine will not,work in the security 9 and vice versa,the frame feels fantastic the ergos are,great it does feel a little bit like the,American but I think I might actually,like the grip angle better on the,security 9 Ruger is really good with,these fiberglass reinforced frames this,things going to be tough and it feels,good the ERG OHS are fantastic and,really kudos to the guy who designed the,frame because if you look the magazine,when you put the magazine in how it,mates up with the pattern the skateboard,tape texture on the grip and even the,foreword slide serrations so the very,rear forward slide serration goes,directly into the frame of course that,that does nothing for you in terms of,performance but really you could tell,that somebody really thought about the,design of this pistol and design guy,whoever you are high five man pretty,good job so just at first glance there,are some positives theres some,negatives but again youre talking about,a gun thats gonna cost you 300 bucks,the important thing is how does it shoot,and is it reliable and were about to,find that out because Im gonna take it,down on the range all right guys lets,get a little weird you see right here,behind me theres like a little a -,target silhouette target lets see if we,can hit it with 50 yards out,well not bad Ruger its kind of funny,like little trial by fire first time,Ive ever shot this gun god I really do,not like that,slide release Ill tell you that I would,rather just go over the top but good god,not bad $300 gun making hits on a,silhouette at 50 yards Ill take it so,who cares about a gun you might carry,concealed if it doesnt feed hollow,points Ive got some Ventura munitions,124 grain hollow-point from the Ventura,tactical wine lets see how it does,[Applause],perfect I have figured out its pretty,easy to inertia charge this gun check,this out,put the mag in you put it in there hard,enough and theyll slam forward some,people like that some people dont like,it I think its kind of neat alright,everyone so far so good with the,security nine by the way I have it,cleaned it had it lubed it since I got,it Ive run a few hundred rounds through,it right now pretty rapidly including,weve shot 124 grain hollow point rounds,Ive put regular Fiocchi 115 grain now,Im gonna use some crappy steel case,wolf Im shooting at 25 yards so about,75 feet away so youve got a silhouette,target and then a couple of little,6-inch Millett many silhouettes,lets see how it does not bad I mean,this guns really taken whatever Im,putting through it its pretty,impressive,all right everyone final thoughts on the,Ruger security 9 if I had to sum it up,in one sentence I would probably say,this is as good as it gets for a compact,/ full-size gun for 300 bucks especially,one made in the United States now that,said it costs 300 bucks but there are,some setbacks before we discuss those,though youre looking at a gun that is,about the same size as the Smith &,Wesson M&P compact 2.0 or the Glock 19,in fact I think this ones a little bit,smaller and a little bit lighter but,just barely,then the Glock 19 very smart of Ruger to,introduce the security 9 in that size,because as everyone knows its good,enough to take to the range its good,enough to keep in your car and its good,enough to carry if you have to speakin
