(<em>Photo: Ruger<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about these and other new Ruger products, head over to the Ruger company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruger.com\/index.html\" campaign=\"RugerCompetitionAmerican\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruger is expanding its American pistol series with a new competition-ready model as well as two compact variants for concealed-carry. The competition model is chambered for 9mm Luger while the compacts are both in .45 ACP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the release of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/ruger-releases-pro-versions-of-the-security-9-series-no-manual-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-expanding-american-series\" title=\"Ruger Expanding American Series with Competition and Concealed-Carry Models\">Security series<\/a>, people have wondered what the future held for the American series but it&#8217;s clear that Ruger is committed to keeping both handgun families going forward with these new releases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The American series of polymer-framed pistols have modular grip frames using interchangeable wraparound grips and include other modern features that are hallmarks of this generation&#8217;s best striker-fired handguns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have pre-tensioned strikers for a light trigger pull and short reset and use passive trigger safeties for ease of use. Some models including the new compact have optional manual thumb safeties in addition to the trigger safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First up is the new Ruger American Pistol Competition. With fully ambidextrous controls, this handgun is race-ready with a lightened slide that&#8217;s machined to accept popular red dot sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has fully-adjustable rear target sights with a bright green fiber-optic front sight, too, tailoring this gun for different competition classes right out of the box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Competition is a full-size handgun with a 5-inch barrel and a 17+1-round standard capacity. The pistol has full-height slide serrations at the rear and short serrations at the muzzle for advanced slide manipulation techniques. Additionally, the chamber has an inspection port as a loaded chamber indicator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the Competition is an all-black handgun with a black polymer grip and black nitride finish on the stainless steel components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"739\" title=\"Ruger Expanding American Series with Competition and Concealed-Carry Models\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5-1024x739.jpg\" alt=\"Ruger Expanding American Series with Competition and Concealed-Carry Models\" class=\"wp-image-126691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5-1024x739.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5-400x289.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5-768x554.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/5.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The manual thumb safety is optional, and ambidextrous like the rest. (<em>Photo: Ruger<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ruger American Pistol Compact handguns are two variants of the same new design, again, now chambered for .45 ACP. Like the Competition and other American series handguns, they have ambidextrous controls, though with and without ambidextrous manual safety levers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Compact .45s have grey polymer grips and a matching durable grey Cerakote finish on the steel slide. They have black grip inserts and controls along with a black nitride barrel for a cool two-tone look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both models have a 7+1-round capacity and a slim design measuring in at a hair over an inch wide. And while the thumb safety is optional, both also use the same standard trigger safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/rugers-pc-charger-takedown-pistol\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-expanding-american-series\" title=\"Ruger Expanding American Series with Competition and Concealed-Carry Models\">Ruger\u2019s Got a Brand New PC Charger Takedown Pistol in 9mm<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Built for concealed-carry and self-defense, the Compact .45s have low-mount Novak 3-dot sights to reduce snag while maintaining good visibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the new models have accessory rails for lights and laser sights and all carry a solid and affordable suggested retail price of $579. Like with other Ruger products in-store and online pricing will be lower, even though right now, due to COVID-19, pricing tends to be a little higher across the board. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>For more
