Time for an update. How do you like it?
I like it. Don’t like my pinky finger dangling and I had intended to use the extension, but I decided to just let the pinky dangle and use the flat base plate for east of conceal carry.
It has proven itself reliable so far, although I have not really shot it that much. But I have shot it enough to be comfortable with it. About 600 rounds or so. Like it’s bigger brother, the Security 9 standard, it not the most accurate, but it is accurate enough.
I have a P95DC, The American Pistol and the American Pistol Compact and the Security 9 and the Security 9 compact. The Security 9 pistols are my least favorite of the group, but the Security 9 is the most carried of the group. Go figure. The Security 9 compact I am sure will be carried a lot as well. Actually my most carried of all is the KAHR, or the LCR if I am in a revolver mood.
I do wish that the Security 9 did not have a manual safety. It was designed after the LCP II which does not have a safety. But the safety on both of the Security 9 pistols is hard to engage. I just ignore them. Not to worried that they will inadvertently slip on (like the Shield was want to do) and they are easy to snick off if you like a manual safety.
Bottom line, if I had to choose just one of the Rugers, it would be the American Pistol. I would say the P95DC but I prefer the single action style trigger of the American over the DA/SA of the P95DC. The Security 9 would come in last. But....there is always a but....if all I had was the Security 9 I would be happy and content.
Ruger has made great strides lately in the "Race to the bottom" that has been the craze lately. People have seemed to adopt the token that good is good enough. . The American Rifle and the Security 9 are products of this trend I think (as is the new Wrangler revolver) If Ruger were to come out with an American Shotgun I think they would have the market cornered.
