Ruger Security 9 Compact vs The Original Security 9

[@ronjoseph7973]

People love to criticize Ruger because they are value firearms. My very first handgun just turned 50. It’s a Ruger Standard I paid $70 in 1971. It’s never been serviced and is still a tack driver. I own numerous brands (including Glock) and I’ve found Rugers to be reliable and well made. My main carry has been the LC9S Pro and Glock 42 when I want something really light. I had been looking to “upgrade” to something with a greater capacity. I seriously looked at the Sig P365 series. I’m now considering the Security 9 Compact. For over 200 less, I can get the basic package plus $70 for 2 extra 15 round mags, a R&R Custom Kydex holster, plus ammo. I have no interest in a red dot optic that would set me back another $200-$300. The tritium sites on the Sig might be nice, but I honestly would rather have a standard picatinny rail and light, which you find on the security series. Finally, if you ever need service, Ruger is second to none and significantly better than S&W, Glock, or Walther.

Don’t quit ever!! Your on the right side of history. You make great and informative videos, I am forever greatful

[@joematthews2446]

Great comparison. Ruger Security 9 was by first pistol purchase and now I’m a Ruger guy.

[@KyngEazy]

Just ordered mines today this is my first gun.

[@311teen101]

Yo same here , how do you like yours?

[@cajunrider7101]

I've got 14 Ruger firearms including the Security 9 and so far I have had no issues with any of them. Just ordered a Mark IV Standard 6" to day so I hope my luck continues. The trigger on that Security 9 has gotten better and better every time I shoot it. Really loving it now.

[@chriswilliams9871]

you my friend just got 5 news subscriptions me and my buddies were looking for specifically a comparison between the Ruger security 9 and the security 9 compact and we can find a hundred videos about the security 9 vs Glock 19 or security 9 vs a Taurus g2 or g2s or g2c or even G3but you my friend were the very first to compare the two guns that need to be compared if you're deciding whether to buy a Ruger security-9 didn't either full size or compact thank you my friend and keep up the great work

[@dmo848]

Weeks later and I still can't decide. 🤷

[@craigmiller8902]

This was a very good video! You provided excellent meaningful info and I needed to hear this info from you. You showed that the Ruger is super reliable and I appreciate that. Keep it up,my friend. Well done.

[@HeyWiseGuy]

I like your emphasis on knowing your gun -- tendencies, etc. Also, I side with you about being able to pull your gun's trigger regardless of weight. If people who have had to lift heavy objects off their loved one in a moment of crisis can suddenly perform these feats of strength, we can pull a heavy trigger and stay on target which requires a lesser physical demand. Let's put it another way. If 80+ year old grannies can do it (and they have) we can too.

[@Guitar89]

I liked this video, it was very informative. I am considering one of these security 9 from Ruger. Thanks for your attention to details.

[@elblancobasura]

Thanks for this video. I've been on to Ruger since 1999 when a friend of mine turned me on to them.

[@mikehatch1967]

I have the compact security 9 for about 6 weeks and I love that gun. I cannot go without cleaning my gun every time I shoot. I can’t help it even ifI only shot a box of 50. Which I have to hold my self to right now.

[@superstatus2640]

It's therapeutic

[@dmo848]

Nothing wrong with that at all. It's something you now enjoy 😊. I be the same way with me toys or a new hobby.

[@paulhurley3612]

I love my Ruger Security Six 🔫 Lol... Great video brother!!! 👍😎 #StayBlessed

[@euribe1989]

Six=revolver.. security-9 you missed up good haha all jokes aside nice vid

[@rustnation2651]

Hahaha straight to the damn point my man! Subbed and liked love the way you reviewed this and loved the rant I am sold! I will buy the compact one!

[@lovefunbeer]

Thanks for the vid. A lot of Guntubers act like they are going to be in a gun fight that lasts 12 boxing rounds.

[@wildizzy3548]

“If you’re gonna mess up, Mess up good, ya know” lol Good video brother, thanks for posting! I was wondering if the full size mags worked in the compact. I’m glad you clarified that for us 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@walkwise1607]

Wayyy better video from the start thanks for the different angles 👍 Keep up the good work man cant wait to see your range.

[@Plinkytube]

3rd time was a charm, almost.

I'll have a new video up in an hour at most Range problems! 3 so far!

[@outlawgt3045]

I have the Security 9. I love it.. Ive been needing a small compact pistol.. This might be my next gun.. Seriously. The S9 was my first handgun.. Then I bought 2 Glocks. The S9 is pretty close to a Glock 19 G5...

[@BigDrum]

@Plinky Great video, brother! I really appreciate your attention to detail and comparing these two pieces. I just bought the compact version for my daily carry piece. For the last year I have been carrying a Springfield XD Mod 2 4” model in 45 ACP. I definitely wanted a much smaller peace that was plenty reliable, and not super expensive. Did a ton of research on various pocket 380 models, and some sub compact 9 mm‘s as well. Your video has definitely helped to confirm that I made a wise choice. Would love to see more content from you. You definitely gained another subscriber today. Blessings to you and yours.

[@Plinkytube]

Thank you

[@JPS1Dec]

The Security 9 compact, Security 380, the little LCP, American Ranch Rifle in 223/5.56, Blackhawk revolver in 357 mag (made in ‘79) are awesome! Been thinking about replacing my other brands with a like Ruger. Love Ruger.

[@stephenlamb3929]

Have both!! Love both I edc with the compact. It is great to carry . Used to edc with the original until I got the compact.

[@user-bj1mx2ip1c]

Just bought the compact to EDC it from my full size 1911..and no im not a boomer (nuthing wrong w boomers) im in my 30s and love 1911s

[@chrisphillips3759]

Thanks for this video sir. I’ve been going back and forth over getting a Glock 19 or Ruger security 9 original size ever since I shot it last week. I loved shooting it and the price is great for what you get. And now the compact is on sale...decisions, decisions lol

[@Vinnytwotime]

I went with a Security 9 full size for a backup to my 19. I will be running it in Nov at Tactical Response fighting pistol.

[@docbarlow240]

The compact version will take the 15 rd mags. Ruger sells an adapter sleeve to make it work properly

I love all my Rugers My SR-9 GP-100 and my AR-556. Rugers are tanks, usualy 200 dollars less that Smiths, colts or sigs.

[@lildagger4794]

What’s y’all’s honest opinion on the security 9 compact really got my eyes on it been doing a lot of research

[@dcfmkyn]

I am glad I found this video! I just purchased a Ruger pc 9 carbine and am looking for a companion pistol to share mags with it. I am told the carbine is compatible with both the Security 9 and SR9 series pistol magazines. Would the Security 9 Compact mags be compatible with the carbine too? Also, are the magazine releases on both the Security 9 and Compact swappable for a left-handed shooter? Please let me know the answer to both questions. Thanks.

[@Mark-qq9cd]

Good video - I liked your comments about trigger pull… If I need to shoot to save a life, a 12 # trigger pull (revolver) will not get in my way. I really enjoy my RS-9. Can you recommend a light for the weapon?

[@seaboss17]

Nice job on the review. What holster do you use to carry the Security 9? Thank you

[@Plinkytube]

I'm using an ace of spades universal holster , I can put my lc9,security 9's and 1911's ECT in it , waiting on a blackhawk serpa to come put for it

[@holycaboose3804]

Video very Appreciated

[@benhernandez2843]

All I know is I changed the one i had for the daily use which was a Glock for a Ruger security 9 because I find that work better than the Glock plus they come with safety

[@comicsob4u868]

Have you had any issues with the Thumb Safety getting in the way or being a problem being ready when you need is when you carry? I agree, Practice is #1 and Trigger break and reset always seemed silly to me, unless it does not work at all! Also, rounds in a Security 9 is plenty rounds to suffer being at risk of a possible malfunction. You may need it in case of an emergency. IMHO! Good comparison Video, Thumbs Up!

[@Plinkytube]

No issues at all with my original security 9 , I carry a lcrx or lc9 , there's always atleast 2 guns within reach and a buck knife and pen light ,I'm over carrying, extra mag 5.11 tactical pants everyday

[@Plinkytube]

Also have a range on my property and shoot everyday atleast 200 rounds , that's my minimum.

[@NuTz4GuNz]

Lol u kept calling the full size security 9 the security 6... but we get what ya meant.. 😂 but ya messed up the 3rd video to 😂. No seriously... it's was a fine review.. very informative and 6000+rds and no malfunction is crazy. I love my security 9 but the slide is starting to rust on me. 😢

[@zzaher91]

Compact packs a punch if your not ready for it. Trigger is about is 9lbs of pressure u wont notice it.

[@dennisskipper2875]

[@s.b.6010]

What kind of holster do you recommend for the Security 9 Compact?

I bought a kydex iwb off of Amazon, it was cheap , but ended up being a good holster, like 20 bucks

You can show the reset hold your finger down on the trigger after pulling to hear the brake and then pull the slide back and let go of the trigger again thats the reset

@@Plinkytube lol

[@Tru_lie13]

Since the compact has a shorter barrel, how much does it affect accuracy/range compared to the standard size?

[@Plinkytube]

With me personally , I was more accurate with the compact, I was surprised at that

Why do You keep saying security six is the security six or security nine which one is it which one is it?

[@christopherwg4236]

Which one do you like better? I'm trying to figure out which one to buy?

[@Plinkytube]

the compact it takes the 15 round mags and i shot better groups with it

Is that exaggerated with the 6k rounds without cleaning? Because that alone is a selling point

[@johnnysmall4206]

You keep saying security 6 ?

[@Ezq95]

I ordered one on 03/26 /20 from Tampa Gunn and Arms but I have yet to see it. The shop won't allow me to stop the order unless I pay a 25% restocking fee. Price of the gun was $409. Plus tax and Florida fee. I will have to wait but I very upset that the time promised was for last Tuesday 03/30/20. I believe that's against the law, biding me to a purchase while not delivering the goods on a timely manner. Oh well you know the old saying happy customers will tell 10 people but unhappy customers will go the extra mile and tell 100 people. So who wil loose more. Karma. I can't wait to get it. Wish me luck

[@Plinkytube]

I think Florida is shutdown statewide I live close to the border and they have road blocks up heading into the state , hopefully Rona won't hold you up much longer, good luck !

[@Ezq95]

I still don't know if I ordered a compact or the regular security 9. I know that it comes with a 10 round magazine . and in cobalt blue. Its sucks.

[@brandonpennington1983]

What about the ruger American, i have a .45 compact, love it man, and my cuz has the security 9mm compact and he hasnt had the problems you showed on ur other vid, not yet anyhow.

[@Plinkytube]

My ruger American along with every other ruger I have ,runs perfect!

[@Darth_Biscuitz]

Can you check and see if the slides can swap. Alot of people are looking for a longer slide with the shorter grip

[@stephentthomas]

Will the larger slide assembly fit and operate properly on the compact frame?

[@dmo848]

Think about that. 2 different sizes. Of course it doesn't

[@stephentthomas]

@@dmo848 Funny. I have since acquired the larger slide/barrel with a gunbusters parts kit and it works just fine on the compact frame. But since I wanted to use the 17 round magazines without using 2 extension sleeves, I moved the chassis/fire control group over to the full sized frame and use it that way. It's on my hip right now.

[@Fangirl_edits.bs787]

Will the security 9 barrel fit in the compact. Just curious

No it won’t.
