What the hell is it? Says it has the action (trigger) of an LCP which is a double action but the short pull of a striker fired. Says it is a mid-size but compact. So what the hell is it? What mags does it use? I can't believe Ruger would come up with another proprietary mags/gun since they already have the SR9 and American (and compact versions) in the pipeline. So how does it compare to those two lines in regard to size?

This is interesting.

Interesting, because as Ruger desperately attempts to encroach on Glock's near monopoly, they're releasing new plastic guns, when the previous ones still could cover the market just fine, if they somehow could overcome their lack of acceptance.

Personally, I think the American was the most perfect attempt at a Glock competitor, but it has not received much acceptance or discussion. Will this Security 9 be the final big winner?

I do wish them success in this endeavor.

Quick look at the various spec sheets, in height and length, this is smack dab in between the Ruger American and RAP compact (and exactly the same as the M&P 2.0 Compact). 15 round capacity. Just barely over 1" thick (1.02"), compared to, for example, 1.27" for the SR9 and 1.05" for the RAP.

So, it's thin, has 15-round capacity, and is in between the full size and (sub)compact.

It's a Ruger 19. Just the right size.

Edited again to add: The MSRP on this thing is $379!! Street price is going to be what, then? Certainly sub-$300. With 9E's at CDNN for $249 this weekend, how low can they go?

Well, it should have the excellent trigger pull of the LCP 2, and it has a manual thumb safety that some feel is necessary for a carry pistol to be safe. Choice of single or double stack configuration. IMO it'll sell, and sell well.

except why is it so ugly? Geez, Ruger just loves clunky looking pistols. Their LC9 is so smooth and clean looking but just about everything else is just clunky.

Good price point though.

I can live with fugly, if it feels good in the hand, shoots straight and is reliable. I'll reserve judgement until I handle one for myself. And until the market has beta-tested it.

I woke up and seen the email on the Security 9. Interesting firearm. Looks like it will be well priced and comes with two mags. Not that I need another but I will be checking one out at some point.

Thanks for posting the videos. I was curious about how it worked. I hadn't paid any attention to the LCP 2 as I am just not interested in .380. It takes down like a Kel-Tec. It would seem this is a larger evolution of the LC-9. I like that it is in the same size range as a G-19. At that price point they will probably sell a ton of them. I do find the fact it has both a thumb safety and a bladed trigger a touch interesting. Of course I have never really minded a bladed trigger. I guess as long as it works it's all good.

And I just bought the LCPII as a gift and to think for the price I could have the 9 with two mags, oh well.

I'm a Ruger fan, but this totally looks like an answer in search of a question. The S&W SD9 has about the same real world price and is stainless, comes with two mags, and benefits from over 20 years of company experience with the Sigma and M&P series. I was really hoping the new Security series would be some updated P guns. If this gun makes you happy that's great, I would never bash somebody for what they like. I just can't find a single thing about the new Security 9 that appeals to me or is an obvious advantage over other guns already available, particularly the SD9 and Ruger's own E variant of the SR9.

Hammer fired semi-autos seem to be making a comeback. First the Springfield XD-E and now the Ruger Security 9. My only "complaint" about the Security 9 is the single sided safety. The SR-series all have ambidextrous safeties.
