I had the full size.... was great. A friend has it now and loves it. I went back and got the compact for carry. Works much better for me. I painted the sights which helped. LOVE the grip pitch.... same as 1911. Three years now..... no problem.
Have fired at least 1000 rounds so far - not a single malfunction. Never used any steel or aluminum cases, but about 1/3 have been reloads & about 20 have been hollow points I would carry. Well worth it. Order extra Mags - Mags also work with Security 9 Compact. I like the safety - practice using it. For the cost & reliability, it is VERY well worth it
That is the most hypnotic firearm I have ever purchased. I saw it at academy and my eyes kept going back to it. I went back to get it and it was gone. I went to another academy and they didn’t have it I went then to SHOOT POINT BLANK AND FOUND IT. I WENT BACK AND GOT THE COMPACT VERSION! I love them. When they came out with the Max 9 I went to look and couldn’t do it because of value now they have the 380 max and the same is in order. These are the only Ruger firearms that draw my attention.
Love mine... Have about 800 rounds through it... not a single malfunction, feels great in my hand. Not shooting much lately though... lol can't afford it.
I’m relatively new to shooting and this is my first firearm ever. I absolutely love it. I did a lot of research before I made the purchase. Both professional and consumer reviews have both given this firearm very solid reviews. It is what it is. A good solid general purpose pistol for home and self-defense.
How do you like the Compact? Me and 2 buddies have the Ruger Security 380 light rack and love it. The Security 9 Compact is the same size has the 380 . 6:52 inches in length.
I got my secuirty 9 almost 3 years ago. Its been great to me. It's my home defense gun. I have a lcp2 and max9 that I carry more often as they are easier to conceal
This gun is so dead on at 75ft or I'm a better shot then i thought. Hit bullseye 30 rounds 2 mags no misses. Just as accurate as my kimber micro 9... Love this ruger...great video also
Great honest review. It is a simple, no frills firearm that will do the job. I have never had any malfunction with my security 9. The safety does not bother me, I just do not use it. In my opinion it is a reliable firearm for home security or self defense. Keep doing what you do, we all appreciate you brother.
I have the compact version. I like it! The only challenge I notice is that if I don't pull the slide back with enough gusto, it can hesitate to slingshot back forward after a magazine change. It got stuck. However I find it is a great value. Also it works perfectly with a 15 round mag, with spacer.
@Bob Charles I tried another thing; went back to the instruction book. I rocked and wiggled the slide back and forth, and pushed and wiggled the takedown pin with my thumb. It may have gone in a little further to ensure that pin was fully, FULLY seated. Just because it seemed to stop before, it may have caught on something.
There are two models of the Security 9 with no manual safety. They've been out for some time now. The "Pro" and "Compact Pro", models #3825 and #3815, respectively.
Common issue. I decided long ago that the only ammunition I use in any of my equipment is brass. For the high dollar high end defense carry ammunition, it's always Nickle plated brass.
Nice review, thanks for your time and effort... Agree about the steel case ammo. Not what I would use in an EDC gun. Mags for it are available in my area and I always buy 2x the number I would carry as back up. As far as the safety goes, leave is off if you don't like a safety on an EDC...
Ruger security 9 is a good gun I own one as I own a sig M18 and a Glock 17. Sigs are really good and Glock is an outstanding gun. The Ruger does good so far just haven't had yrs of use like my glock yet.
My ruger will not shoot a full mag of steel. I’ve spent a lot of range time trying to pry out a steel casing that expanded in my chamber. Other than that, my only issue with it is the aftermarket on these really suck. No issues with regular brass after 1000 rnds This still remains my edc. Got a quality kidex holster from guerrilla tactical. Highly recommend them, fully customizable with any light available rn.
For ALL the videos that bag on the safety on this... there are 2 options. 1. DON'T USE IT!! It's optional for a reason! Ruger is putting it on to sell to a wider market. 2. IF you don't want the safety, BUY the PRO version. Comes with no safety, problem solved. Echo sentiments for the S9 compact version also.
Excellent review, I find all you said to be true about the one that own. Comments below are stating something about there being a magazine disconnect where the gun won't operate without the safety. That statement is false. The gun does operate without the magazine. Just once though 😃.
Good honest review, Dave. I'd pass on that particular model because of it being SA only with a manual safety, and choose something that was either striker fired or DA/SA.
It won’t be replacing my Glock inside my waistband anytime soon Noah. It’s definitely one of those “good guns for the money” type of scenarios, I think it’s well-built, and may be a way to provide reliable protection for someone who is living on a tighter budget
I have an original 2018 Security 9 with, so far, around 2000 flawless rounds. Sometimes I use it for home defense. I got a new job so I've been taking it to work, though I have to leave it in my car safe. It's still slightly difficult to put the weapon back on safe, but that's just a tiny annoyance. It's not my primary carry, but it's an all around workhorse. Gr8 vid as usual. 🔫 🇺🇸
I might add all Ruger pistols come in a non-manual safety model called the Pro model. Additionally just because it has a manual safety doesn't mean you can't routinely carry it in FIRE.
A lot of time recoil video can be misleading. Most of the time if u watch a female shoot in slow-motion, there will appear to be more recoil. If u watch Sootch00, Hickok45 they will seem less affected by recoil. A very firm grip, and a good foundation will eliminate a lot of recoil. When I first started shooting...i let recoil bully me a bit, but now I'm better at creating a good foundation.
I think the locks are required by law since alot of people don't have a gun safe. I have tons of those locks that never get used. I have always had kids in the house so if a gun isn't on me, it's in the safe. Steel cased ammo is bad for guns! AK's love it but they were designed to shoot it. I don't use the safety on the security nine. I do on my 1911. 1911's have hair triggers! Train with all of your guns so you are well practiced with disengaging the safety if it has one.
So what? They have to have a warrant to come inside to check, assuming of course, that they still honor their oath to the Constitution. If they showed up at my door, I would suddenly forget how to talk. But I would not forget the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.
Buy yourself a glock. I keep my security 9 works great, and if you can't handle the safety, re-evaluated carrying a gun.i carried a 1911for 25 is years, Sotheby's grip angle and safety work just fine.
Ruger makes super reliable firearms and has fantastic warranty! Sadly a lot of their pistols are the ugliest in the industry. I just can not stand an ugly clunky looking product. It is like the designers at Ruger live in Minecraft and think brix/brick shapes are sexy! It is as if sleek sexy lines and curves cut into profit margin! Who ever does the styling at Ruger especialy for everything plastic from pistol frames to rifle stocks needs to be fired!
@buckaroobonsi555 someone with a cartoon profile pic of a girl... Complaining about a self defense weapon not being pretty/sexy enough? Yep, checks out. Go play with your barbie's. Go buy a Glock where you can play dress up with accessories and make em look more pretty.
All guns look unique plus I mean you gonna use it for self defense is what matters. If its good and reliable when you need it. Ruger is a reliable choice and so is glock and so forth.
Dude all the plain black guns are ugly as sin. That's why I can't stand ar15s. Some of the ugliest guns to ever be made. Wood and metal will always look 1000 times better than plastic
I'm with you, I don't intend on ever owning anything with a safety and magazine disconnect. Reason being is I've heard stories from a instructor that told a story about a woman who's fumbling to get her gun and ended up in a struggle and the assailant managed to hit the magazine eject rendering the gun useless whereas without that feature she could've still shot the attacker and likely retreated or regained control of the situation with the cards in her favor 🤷 Sorry Ruger pretty sure you've missed the mark here : (

I have the 9 now for 3 years, not one problem. Always on target.
I have had mine since 2018. It's not too bad. Got some design quirks but it works.
I've had my security 9 for 3 years. Only problem I've ever had was with steel case ammo. Everything else I've fed it works perfectly.
Common issue. I decided long ago that the only ammunition I use in any of my equipment is brass. For the high dollar high end defense carry ammunition, it's always Nickle plated brass.
My compact security 9 eats up all of the ammo I have credit. I threw my Glock away and this is my everyday pistol.😊
I like this 3810 model , I had a S &W 9m and sold I sold it like a idiot / needed the $$$ ,but now I think I would buy the Ruger Security 9m.

Really good review..I really like ruger guns..the last two I bought have been ruger..lcp222lr and 10 -22..Think this will be my next one
Looking for another pistol and I have my eye on this for the price at Cabelas. Good video.

Did you know that if you slam home the magazine on the Security 9, it will drop the slide without slingshotting it.
Yup and I did that and got a nice big red juicy blood blister on my big ass dumb pinky finger today...live and learn

It's double action
I recommend sticking with Ruger factory magazines. Others are hit and miss.
8:52 where's 14 & 15?
Only seeing 13 rounds?
Maybe missed?

Have had no issues finding mags. Either ordering from Ruger online or the LGS’s. They are just a little pricey
I own one. It does not like steel ammo. This one is in my rotation in the Compact model . Keep it lubed.
Yee haw! Cowboy hat, giddy up partner.
My Taurus G3 does not like steel-cased ammo. So I only use brass/nickel plated cased ammo.
Great review!
Mine $299 from Rule King Safety not an issue and never a problem extracting steel case
!k out the pipe
Great review
I love my G2C, but the Ruger's trigger is so much better. I had to buy upgrades in the G2C just to keep up with the stock Ruger 9.
0:06 Damn that camera man got balls.
The 2 Pro models of the Security 9 do not have a manual safety.
Very fine video!
Steel case ammo is not recommended by Ruger (direct from their support folks)
I might add all Ruger pistols come in a non-manual safety model called the Pro model. Additionally just because it has a manual safety doesn't mean you can't routinely carry it in FIRE.
Good job Mr Drake
The only purpose for those cable locks (that I employ), is for my lever action rifles.
Now there's a model without a safety.
Is this a review of the security nine or the Glock 19
😂
The Ruger seems to have more recoil than the new Taurus GX4 from the videos that I have seen. And the GX4 is a much smaller pistol.
And more reliable besides.
I have the security 9- compact. Recoil is not a problem. Maybe it's because of the grip texture and shape.
A lot of time recoil video can be misleading. Most of the time if u watch a female shoot in slow-motion, there will appear to be more recoil. If u watch Sootch00, Hickok45 they will seem less affected by recoil. A very firm grip, and a good foundation will eliminate a lot of recoil. When I first started shooting...i let recoil bully me a bit, but now I'm better at creating a good foundation.
How does this compare,to Smith/Wesson MP 2.0?Thanks
I really can’t say as I have no hands-on experience with the MP 2.0
@J ♉ Taurus are getting better,new ownership,new location.
@J New Ruger Max 9,is very good,the New Smith Plus,I don't know which,I like BEST.

In September we who live in Oregon, (locks) have to use them. By a new law passed here! 👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
So if they are in our house we have to have the lock on them period? Makes no sense to even have it then cuz I only have it for home defense. Lol
Idk how you guys allow that
How can that even be enforced? They'd have to go house to house checking to see if guns are locked. If that happens we got a BIG problem!!
So what? They have to have a warrant to come inside to check, assuming of course, that they still honor their oath to the Constitution. If they showed up at my door, I would suddenly forget how to talk. But I would not forget the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.
I just picked up the Pro version for $265 plus fees. The Pro has Tritium Night Sights, 3 mags and NO manual safety.
Excellent, unbelievable pricing. What's the deal?
I notice that we use the same targets! Lol
Nice
Buy yourself a glock. I keep my security 9 works great, and if you can't handle the safety, re-evaluated carrying a gun.i carried a 1911for 25 is years, Sotheby's grip angle and safety work just fine.
You can buy 2 security 9 for the price of one Glock there are plenty of budget friendly 9 mills that are better than Glock
You don't live in Maryland obviously!! We have to use that lock to transport the gun!!!!
It feels thinner than Glock 19
They make them without a safety. I think its a security 9 pro.
Is this video sponsored by Glock????

Sorry Ruger pretty sure you've missed the mark here : (
My security 9 will fire with the magazine out of the weapon, it’s even engraved on the frame.
The Security 9 doesn't have a mag disconnect, and the safety is not at all obtrusive.
Ruger security 9 will fire without a magazine in it. I've done it and still do as one of my practice scenarios.
Safety is low profile and easy to operate. Very crisp break on and off
@@spconrad9612 And it doesn't need to be employed at all. I don't use mine when carrying, but I do when it's in its keeping place in the house.
Ruger just makes some of the ugliest guns. They may be quality but they just have an ugly cheap look to them. There revolvers aren’t bad I guess.
The same is said about a lot of people, yet they still find someone to marry.
🤦🤣
Rugers CERTAINLY aren't as ugly as Glocks, Glocks are straight up FUGLY, though they are a good pistol
