The Ruger Security 9 is the best value Glock 19 you can buy today IMHO.
Except for the fact that it’s not even a striker fired gun. I did hold a security 9 and it’s size and rear sight is about all that’s in common with a Glock 19. And i will say that if it was more lefty friendly i would have one already. Just way to many choices in that size and price range to not me either ambi or at least switchable.
Have you held a Glock 19? The security 9 is nearly identical. Who cares about striker fired? The Security 9 is a much better value than a Glock 19
The only thing I don't care for is the safety.
For your average schmuck buying their first pistol, the security 9 is the way to go.
