Ruger Security-9 Compact | 9mm | 3.42″ Barrel | 3830

The Ruger Security-9 Compact is a factory-configured compact 9mm pistol designed for dependable carry and straightforward range use. This model ships with a factory-installed Viridian E-Series red laser and two alloy-steel magazines and pairs well with modern compact pistols for everyday carry and target practice. For shooters who want a reflex sight, a compact reflex like the Holosun HS507C (well under $1,000) is a practical choice for range and competition use, though installation requires an optic-ready slide or gunsmithing because this pistol is not drilled and tapped for optics.

Typical applications for this compact pistol include everyday carry (EDC) and range/target practice. The Security-9 combines a textured polymer frame and Ruger’s Secure Action for a controllable trigger feel in a compact package.
