Ruger Security-9 | 9mm | 4″ Barrel | Viridian Laser | 3816

The Ruger Security-9 is a mid-size, hammer-fired semi-automatic pistol designed for everyday carry and range use. It pairs a blued through-hardened alloy steel slide and barrel with a high-performance glass-filled nylon frame and full-length machined aluminum chassis for reliable function and manageable recoil. For a compact pistol red-dot option under $1,000 that suits precision follow-up shots, consider a Trijicon RMR Type 2; installation may require slide work or a qualified gunsmith and appropriate mounting hardware. Applications: concealed everyday carry and range training/target practice.
