Nice looking pistol.

Nice store. Looks like a nice pistol.

My first you tube video.

We’re going to make more. That one was shot in my office. We need some better equipment and a better table! Lots of changes coming....

The manual thumb safety is a deal killer, but I imagine they will be coming out with an S-Pro version.

Yeah....that safety kills it for me as well...love my LC9SPro......would trade my glock 19 for this is it didn't have the safety...

Thanks for posting that! Great job on the video! And y'all's store is nice!
Ruger has come a long way since their first wonder 9, the old P-85. Might have to pick up one for a plinker / truck gun. One things for sure. If Ruger built it you can bet the farm that it will work, and work well!

I have always been a Ruger pitsol fan. There wasn't a lot of love for the old P-Series, but I thought they were great. Ruger has evolved and expanded quite a bit. I'd say that was a solid launch into the You Tube world.

I am left handed and that safety on the wrong side of the gun is a deal breaker for me and I am looking for a 9mm compact. Unless Ruger comes out with a non-safety version, I will probably get a Kahr CW9.

Looks very interesting. It's a little bit thinner and lighter that the Glock 19 and S&W M&P9 2.0 and they are $285 on Gunbroker. Ruger should offer some real competition with the Security 9. As said before though, they will have to come out with a model with no external safety.

Ruger has really lowered the price point on some of their guns. I'm seeing LCP's for $169, etc. Of course, I'm surpised anyone is buying $750-$800 Mini 14's, when you can get an AR for $499 these days...

Different rifles, different missions. And no real direct competition for the mini.

As to the safety, it doesn't engage as easy as a typical thumb safety. It takes a deliberate push upwards to rear of the safety. A simple flip of the thumb in the front or middle won't engage it. To disengage, its just like any other thumb safety -- just a quick flip down. Maybe the safety was designed as such so it wouldn't be easy to accidentally engage? I'm probably the exception, not the norm. I don't care if it has a safety or not. I simply don't use it unless I want to do so. Put one in your hands and try to engage the safety in a typical manner. You'll see what I'm talking about.....

I've not spoken with Ruger about a "pro"model. From a business standpoint it may not be practical to produce. You should see the street price on the Security-9 at $289.99 or less. I really expect them to eat up some market share with this pistol.

Ruger was said to be preparing a sample for the XM17 Modular Handgun System. Then they abandoned development. I wonder if this is it.

What? You didn't spend 5 minutes showing us how to get it out of the box????? 😱

Pistol looks to be a winner. Thanks.

It does look interesting. I'll have to feel one in my hand before I can comment on what I think of it. The grip frame will be all the difference for me.

I think folks who buy a $499 AR want a cheap reliable plinker. People who buy a Mini, for $800, get an EXPENSIVE reliable plinker.

I think you don't know as much about them as you think you do. But if it's all about plinking to you, don't worry yourself over it.

Fixed it

And neither do you.
