Recalling the unwavering durability of the Security 6 revolver, the new Security 9 has a strong name to live up to.<\/p>\n<h2>Impressions<\/h2>\n<p>The Security 9 is a mid-sized or compact pistol, a perfect first-time buyer pistol. Similar in size to a Glock 19 or M&amp;P9C, the Security 9 features a 15-round flush fit magazine. The gun has a very clean look and features you might not expect. For example, it features front and rear cocking serrations. The sights are steel. Out of the box,\u00a0I like them.<\/p>\n<p>To round out the new Ruger handguns, also available is the <a href=\"https:\/\/ruger.com\/products\/ec9s\/models.html\" campaign=\"EC9s\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">EC9s<\/a>. EC stands for everyday carry, and Ruger designers meant it. Building on the proven LCP design, the EC9s is a slightly scaled up version for the 9mm round. It is a fantastic option for the CCW market, at a price you are going to like.<\/p>\n<h2>SPECS \u2014Security-9<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Cartridge: 9mm<\/li>\n<li>Capacity: 15+1 rds.<\/li>\n<li>Alloy Steel Barrel<\/li>\n<li>Barrel length: 4 in.<\/li>\n<li>Overall Length: 7.24 in.<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 23.7 oz.<\/li>\n<li>MSRP: $379<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_85803\" style=\"width: 365px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85803\" title=\"Ruger's Security 9 &amp; EC9s: Continuing a Legacy of Performance \u2014 SHOT Show 2018\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-85803\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-23-at-7.30.36-PM-355x300.png\" alt=\"Ruger's Security 9 &amp; EC9s: Continuing a Legacy of Performance \u2014 SHOT Show 2018\" width=\"355\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-23-at-7.30.36-PM-355x300.png 355w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-23-at-7.30.36-PM-150x127.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-23-at-7.30.36-PM-768x650.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-23-at-7.30.36-PM.png 882w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-85803\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The EC9s is the perfect size for CCW and also priced at an affordable $299.
