Ruger Pocket 9mm - The Ruger American Compact adds another option among polymer-frame pistols for today's shooters. James will be reviewing a Ruger Compact without a thumb safety in the future. It will be on TFBTV. The reason, of course, is that we want to present both models to our readers so that they not only have two views, but also weigh the merits of thumb security and non-thumb security models. Both pistols have 9mm magazines.
There is some confusion about the capacity of this compact pistol, so let me clarify. Ruger Compact comes with a 12-round magazine, while the second magazine holds 17 rounds with an extension ring so the long magazine makes it look like the stock is extended.

As mentioned, the thumb safety is placed in a position similar to the 1911, but requires a bit more reach to manipulate. The thumb safety is double, as is the magazine release. The thumb safety has a short enough reach that it is easy to use depending on the size of your hand. Allowing the thumb of your shooting hand to rest on the safety is impractical due to the reach and size of the grip. Another addition is the choice of rear strips. The compact comes with small, medium and large inserts. Using a small insert allows the thumb safety to be used like a thumb safety on a 1911.

So what do I like about compacts? First, let me say that I like thumb safety. I know many will disagree and if so, that's fine as we all have our preferences. Even if you buy a thumb safety model, that doesn't mean you have to use it and not change the price. Unlike Glock, at least Ruger gives consumers the option to have a manual safety or not. Both models have a rail to attach a compact light or laser to the gun. While the trigger feels better than a stock Glock, it still has an unexpected break when the trigger is released. It's not bad, you just have to get used to it. I definitely like the shape of the trigger. It is not curved like most polymer weapons. The curve is minimal and gives better feedback.
After picking up the gun and rolling it in, I took it through several rounds of firing a total of 500 rounds of Armscor ammo as well as some new Creedmoor JHP ammo (more on this new ammo later). I had no problems during the test. It fired every type of ammo I had without a problem. I like the fairly flat shoulder strap that you can get with a compact just by using a little grip insert. Using the center insert, the hump it creates is a bit too much for me, but I'm sure many will find it works for them. I like the idea of including a flush tank with your second high capacity tank for the full size gun.
While not a true gun, it is accurate in combat and will do the job at social distances. Between very good reliability and good accuracy, this compact Ruger will without doubt get the job done. It should inspire confidence in its owner. Just like any other gun practice, practice and more practice!
The MSRP is $579, which means the street price is closer to $500 - $525 or more. This puts it firmly in the same price range as Glock and other polymer-fired pistols.

Is concealed carry gun worthwhile? Colonel Ben uses his ten criteria to check and field test compacts to help you decide if it's right for you. He presents the features and specifications of the gun and gives his personal opinions and recommendations. Holster, belt and ammo recommendations included. I hope this helps you make your own decision to effectively carry concealed gear and experience.
A little while ago I reviewed the Ruger Security-9 full size 9mm pistol and last week Ruger introduced their new Security-9 Compact model. I appreciate the great performance and features of the full size pistol, so I wanted to try their new compact short barrel concealed carry pistol. It is just as impressive and will work for concealed carry? How will it meet my ten criteria, especially its accuracy, reliability and stealth? This is my assessment and field test.
First, I will provide the specifications and features for the new Ruger Security-9 Compact. Next, I'll compare its specs to some of the full-size pistols I've previously reviewed, followed by comparisons to five similar pistols on the market. I will then provide some recommended IWB kydex, OWB leather and pocket holsters for the new compact as well as leather belt options. Look for the attached 20% discount code. Next, I will offer ten criteria that I use to rate all weapons. Finally, I present the results of my range test (using my included free concealed carry drill), analysis, and how I specifically evaluated the gun against each criterion I recommend or not recommend it. As always, set your own criteria and priorities, do your own research, and check my data, information, etc. with yours, for your personal selection process. You can compare the features of this new gun with my analysis of my top 21 concealed carry guns in my book "Concealed Carry and Handgun Basics".
The Ruger Security-9 Compact features the same "Safe-Action" hammer-fire system used in Ruger's full-size Security-9 and successful LCP II pistols. The trigger is dry, short, and soft, and the gun uses an internal, wrapped hammer, instead of a striker-fired rod, to help in the easy slide action. This pistol has the proven characteristics of the Security-Six revolver, representing basic performance, excellent reliability, value and fine ergonomics. It is not intended as a unique revolutionary semi-automatic pistol with a highly sophisticated design, but rather as a consistent, moderately priced, and comfortable pistol that meets the basic requirements of concealed carry.
Review] Ruger Lcp Ii: The .22 Pocket Rocket
This pistol is not a striker-fired pistol, but has a "single-action" trigger with a pre-fired double-action system and hammer. It's short and smooth pre-cocked trigger reminds me of my single action rifles and I like it. Many will assume it is a single action trigger as it releases smoothly when the trigger pull that pushes the hammer is complete. For safety, the Ruger Security-9 features a trigger safety, a manual thumb safety, and a recessed hammer lock that prevents the pistol from firing unless the trigger is pulled. It has a Browning type, cocking barrel lock. This solidly built value pistol has features typically found in far more expensive pistols and doesn't feel "cheap". The hammer, like the striker in a percussion-fired rifle, is partially cocked to the rear by the rearward movement of the slide. Pulling the trigger completes the hammer cocking cycle to fire the pistol. This results in the feel of a single action trigger and a short and crisp reset point, whereas this is a double action pistol.
Below I provide the full size and compact dimensions of the Security-9 and some comparative specifications of just a few models from other brands with the same barrel length between only 3.39 inches and 3.50 inches. The new Security-9 Compact ships with two 10-round steel magazines, but can use 15-round cartridges that come with full-size pistols. Also included is an extendable finger grip floor plate for added control. Extending the 15-round frame for a compact is available for purchase. Each of these pistols below has its own merits for personal preference.
Both slide and barrel are made of hardened steel, which means that the steel is hardened on all surfaces in the manufacturing process, not only hardening the outer surface and keeping the inner relatively soft. In the tempering process, high levels of carbon are added to the iron mixture. When the component is heated and fully hardened, all hardened components are strengthened all the way from the surface to the core. The goal is to extend the service life of the part being treated. The fully hardened chromium molybdenum steel slide has a matte blue finish. Both the full-size chassis and the compact chassis are made of hard-coated anodized aluminum and include full-length rails. The serialized chassis for both weapons rests on a thinly profiled but durable frame made of glass-filled nylon. The non-aggressive polymer handle on all sides is thin, strong and highly impact resistant. For me provided comfortable and
