No, the thumb safety is just to meet legal requirements for sale in some states requiring a manual safety. It's nice but not essential. The trigger blade and hammer block are the major internal and passive safeties.Mike J said:This is probably why it has a thumb safety. Of course I could be wrong.

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.
djw54 said: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, lots of folks think Glock is the handgun giant in the market. Truth is, they are not.
Looking at the stats for 2016, the number one is Smith with over 1.26 million. Number two is Ruger with just over a million. Glock is number three with a tad over a quarter million.
If Ruger is looking to encroach on anyone's territory, it is Smith.
FWIW, in 2016 the number one US manufacturer of both long and short guns was Ruger.

You made a slight error in the information you pulled from Ruger's website.
You are correct with the slide width of the Security 9 (1.02") and the RAP (1.05), but the width you gave for the SR9 is the widest part of the gun (including frame). The Ruger SR9 slide width is not posted on Ruger's page, but it is 0.92".
Quiet a bit slimmer than both the Security 9 and RAP 9.
I believe that the Ruger Security 9 is designed to compete against the Smith & Wesson SD9 market but edge it out with it's Glock 19 size.
