Love the channel and I have a Ruger Security 380 - it is a great pistol. However, I have heard reviews stating that the action is a 'straight blowback'. It is actually a locked breech action, as is the Walther PD380. This is why Ruger was able to reduce slide mass and lighten the return spring. Also why felt recoil is less and not 'snappy' like blowback models ( ie: Bersa Thunder).
