Can anyone tell me what role the Ruger Security 9 is suppose to serve?
For two years Ruger promoted the American Pistol as “the next big thing.” Then out of no where the Security 9 was released. I get that Ruger wanted to release their own “Glock 19 compact” sized pistol but couldn’t they have done that with the American platform? I would have loved to purchase a 15 round capacity Ruger American Pistol compact.
Was Ruger not satisfied with the sales of the American Pistol and decided to go into panic mode by releasing the Security 9?
For me personally I still prefer my American Pistol compact over the Security 9 simply because the American is more durable than the Security 9. I have handled the Security 9 at my local dealer and the only thing that impressed me was the trigger. Yes, the slide of the Security 9 is steel but it’s internal chassis is aluminum. I would much rather choose steel over aluminum every time. Im hoping that Ruger does not plan on replacing the American Pistol with the Security 9. I feel like that would be a step back from Ruger’s mission to produce tough and strong firearms.
Why do you all believe Ruger released the Security 9? Do you believe Ruger is trying to figure out which pistol, between the American Pistol and the Security 9, will be the successor to the SR series?
