Compact for easy concealment the Security-9 is designed to fit a variety of available holsters. It features a rugged construction with black oxide through-hardened alloy steel slide and barrel and high-performance glass-filled nylon grip frame. Textured grip frame provides a secure and comfortable grip. It also has a precision-machined hard-coat anodized aluminum chassis with full-length guide rails. Utilizes Ruger’s safe reliable and proven Secure Actionfire-control system that combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger. Internal Secure Action hammer provides strong ignition force yet allows for easier slide racking when compared with many striker-fired pistols. Front cocking serrations enable positive slide manipulation. Safety features include integrated trigger safety; neutrally balanced sear with significant engagement and strong spring tension; and hammer catch to help prevent the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled.
