  • The lite rack series has taken us by surprise as a bulky option. When considering the niche market this product was designed for, it is much easier to see why certain features are the way they are.

    I was having the same issue for some time. I came across another video that suggested I polish the feed ramp. I did and I have not had this issue come up again. I'm no gunsmith, but it was a simple operation and it appears to have solved my problem. I'm going to call it good. I really like my Security 380. I hope this suggestion helps others. Thanks for the video.

      Interesting. I never had that issue with mine, and I shoot cheap training amo. Can you please explain exactly how you polished the loading ramp or put the link in? My friend had that issue with his P365X that he bought brand new. I thought it's amo or the fact that it was not oiled yet but maybe there is an issue that he could solve with it.

    I've had mine for about a month now and I've run several hundred rounds of Freedom, Blazer and some Hornady HP rounds through it with zero malfunctions so far. It is much smoother to shoot than my old Sig P230 that I've had for over 30 years. I love this pistol!👍

It appears that all of your FTF issues were with the short mag. I shoot a lot of competition and 99% of the time, the magazine is the issue.

    This pistol is accurate at the furthest indoor range distances. I like it 100%. I did have a problem with Fiocchi 95 FMJ. I called Fiocchi and they said their Italian made ammo has slightly different specs than their American made ammo. Other than Fiocchi ammo, I have had no issues with this one. Light weight, 15+1, flared slide, excellent sights.

    I’m 78 and I bought this gun because…well, because I’m elderly. I like everything about it except the trigger; I HATE the safety blade on that trigger. I replaced mine with the Seneschal trigger from Galloway Precision, and I like it a lot better. My gun has performed flawlessly except with Armscor ammo, which gave me a lot of FTF’s. And while it’s great fun to shoot, my accuracy with it has not been good. Whether it’s me or the gun is yet to be determined. For $300 it’s a great gun, and if I get so I can hit anything with it I’ll be a happy camper.

    I took it apart cleaned it out oiled
    Up .put about 120 rounds thru it
    One light primer strike one failure
    Go into battery.overall i say after
    Break in and good ammo should be good go.
    The larger 380,s are picky about cheaper ammo.
    This did run some my wifes ez would
    Not. And like the ez for defense
    I would only use good stuff
    Like federal hydra shok.
    Leighigh extreme penetration.
    15 rounds 380 changes the game
    Now maybe smith& wesson
    And others will step up the game.
    My wife depends on lite rack 380
    She cannot rack the 9mm's.
    And feel better about here having
    15 rounds vs 9 in her s&w..

    I shot 150 rounds on my first range session with no problem. I had a night sight installed and on my second trip it ftf on 3 different mags. I triedd to shoot it with pressure ok the mag, no pressure on the mag and swapped between hollowpoints and fmj.
    The oddest thing is that it would fire a round and in the span of the slide being retracted it'd extract the next round then the third round would fail to feed.
    I wonder if the issue is that its not a blowback pistol. I am disappointed because the first session was amazing.
    If I had to guess the issue I'd think its due to the magazine. I used the same ones last time so I have no clue what happened though.
    I was shooting PMC 90 gr FMJ and 90 gr Precision One Hollow Points.

    If Ruger offered a +P version and get some magazines available, I would be extremely happy. I read there is no standard for 380+P so manufacturers cant rate anything for +P, who knows? A threaded barrel would be nice too, since .380 is a subsonic round, it would be perfect. Its my 1st 380, and its a joy to shoot. I picked one up on sale under 299. and I am glad I did. The S&W Sheild EZ rack version of this, is almost double the money and only holds 8 rounds, being a single stack. I bet some other ammo, and oiling the gun would probably stop their weird intermittent feed problem. (That is, if it is not the 10round magazine's fault.) Like they said the 15 round mag never did it. That kinda points the problem out, right there. Good to hear 2 different shooters opinions here on the video. Like they said, its extremely easy and comfortable to shoot, and keep on target. After holding a Ruger LCP I knew it didn't feel very comfortable, but its so tiny its easy to put in a pocket. Also unless you practice a lot with an LCP most folks aren't very accurate, because of its tiny size, and lack of comfort. I really doubt most folks could hit that target very well at 48 ft with a LCP. These are 2 completely different guns to me. Just my opinion.

    What's up guys! I took my wife to the gun shop today because she wants a carry gun that is .380 cal opposed to 9mm. She has a Taurus G3C 9mm already, so we went to look at some .380's. We didn't shoot any but she held a S&W EZ 380, and a SIg P365 380 and she really likes the Sig and how small it is for CC considering she's 5'3 and petite. Unfortunately, they didn't have the Ruger Security 380 because most of the guns were at the gun show in Lawrenceville. But she liked how easy the Sig was to rack and I let her know the Ruger is super easy to rack. But just based on video alone she seems to think the Ruger will be too big for CC. Her main reason for wanting a .380 is recoil and easier racking. I'm going to try to get to a range where she can shoot both, but I tend to think the Sig P365 is going to have more recoil considering its size. She's going to have to make a decision at some point on whether she wants the smaller gun or the lighter recoil. Since the Ruger is half the price of the Sig I'm hoping for lighter recoil, lmao.
    Great job on the video guys, you're always informative and funny.

    • @GSquaredTactical
      @GSquaredTactical  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Surprisingly the 365 .380 is very controllable with recoil. I was shocked and it’s very accurate again surprisingly because I couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with the 9mm 365. However, the racking and recoil of the Ruger is likely 40% or better lighter and easier and more accurate than the 365. However it is significantly bigger admittedly

With fall and winter coming she can conceal the Ruger easily enough with heavier and longer clothes. She can also use the Ruger for home defense and use the 365 in the spring and summer when she's wearing lighter clothes. But we'll see if she likes both or either one for that matter on our next range outing. Again, thanks guys for the insights. And I do subscribe btw.

      I own the sig, and I love it. The Ruger is inexpensive, and the best deal for the money, plus it is easier to rack. The advantages of the Sig are that: It will take a Holosun 407k, Wilson Combat grips are inexpensive and are a big help, the sig takes the 10 and 12 round 380 mags, the 365 15 and 17-round 9mm mags will work in the 380 with 380 ammo, all three 365 grip sizes fit on the 380, the sig is very accurate at 12 yards and very fast, and Wilson combat grips also takes WC weights if you want to increase the weight of the gun (3oz, and I installed them in mine). After a few hundred rounds, the sig gets easier to rack. Finally, the sig is one of the most fun guns to shoot that I have ever fired. Maybe because the springs are stiffer, it has never had a malfunction (after the first 50 rounds of questionable quality ammo). It also likes some of the spicier self defense ammo. Sig makes a short-barrel 380 self defense round that is very accurate. And the sig is easy to carry and conceal. I think that both are good guns and excellent for concealed carry. I went with the Sig because I already had a 365 XL, and in addition I wanted to put a Holosun on my 380.

    • @GSquaredTactical
      @GSquaredTactical  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It was not it was shot straight from the box, and the reason that TH-camrs do that is because for some reason the majority of the public watching wants to know how the performance is right out of the box. So in, as if they were to buy it at the gun store and the gun store had a range and they wanted to take it straight back to the range and shoot it would it perform. I would say 95 to 98% of the time most of the ones that we take directly from the box without cleaning or oiling performed flawlessly without issue. There are very few times that not cleaning or oiling causes a problem. Typically the manufacture has greased the slide, rails and areas that most commonly need to be oiled and very rarely do we find internally, dirty, firearm, straight from the manufacture. as far as did cleaning it up, make it better. I can’t really speak to that because we sold the firearm after doing the review but the person I sold it to has reached out to me and asked if we had any issues with it reliably feeding and I said a couple yes but he has said that now that he is in about six or 700 that it has begun to be completely reliable.

    I have a S&W Shiled EZ in .380 It works flawlessly. I've put hundreds of rounds through it and never encountered any malfunctions. I do have two other Ruger pistols.

      Fiocchi 380 is actually out of SAMMI spec. The brass has a thicker rim which gives it less room between the breech face and extractor groove. About half of my 380's will choke on this ammo and why I won't buy it any longer.

    Whatever happened to the rule of thumb that a gun needs about 500 rounds to be broken in and you can expect minor problems to be experienced in the first 200 rds. or so ? Why do people expect to take a firearm out of the box and have it operate smoothly in less than 500 rounds ?
    WHY ? ¿

    • @GSquaredTactical
      @GSquaredTactical  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That is very easy to answer and the reason for why is because literally 95 to 98% of the guns that I take straight from the box never oil or cleaning perform flawlessly I can probably go through my safe and point out line by line 70 guns that have never had a single hiccup of any kind or any unpleasant experiences from day one not even one single time. I think the only gun that I have ever needed to break in was hand fitted guns like some custom 1911s or something. Certainly not on these sloppy polymer frame gun.

      I mean I personally don’t want a gun that I have to spend anywhere from $100-$150 in ammunition after having purchased the gun just to get it carry ready or to feel comfortable shooting it. In 2024 that just seems absurd to me, and as I said, most guns today that I shoot and take out of the box, have no need for “” breaking in. Me personally I think that is just a copout for people when they want to like a particular gun and they want it to be awesome because they bought it, and in a lot of cases, they are cheaper guns that people will say that about because again if they have issues with them, they want to convince themselves that it is fine. It just needs to be broken in when that has not been my experience at all.

    To me this gun is great; however, I don’t recommend for carry due the fact Ruger declined to design this firearm for +P ammo.

Fits my needs, high cap./light weight and with the 15 round mag it feels like a full size pistol in my hand.
