New Ruger 9mm Announced

My confidence in Ruger is so-so with all the reports I hear. The LCP is a small gun and it has small parts. Hopefully this larger pistol will have larger, stronger parts that don't break as easy.

A Rolex has small parts too, doesn't make it a bad watch. I know many folks with LCPs. I don't know of any broken parts. I have thousands of rounds through mine without a problem.

Nice. Ruger probably realized that nobody really appreciated the modular aspect of the RAP.

There was nothing modular about it.

And some people here were saying that the Security 9 is Ruger's copy of a Hi Point. If anything, the Ruger American looks more like a Hi Point.
 
The Security 9 "Frame Insert" (part #1 in Owner's Manual schematic) looks a lot like the Ruger American "Fire Control Insert Assembly" (part #6 in Owner's Manual schematic).

In both cases, the fire control parts are in a separate chassis that is the serial-numbered component of the gun.

I stand corrected. I didn't see those schematics. I'm impressed. My impression is that using a "fire control module" is a more expensive way to build a semi-auto. I guess not.

Thanks for the clarification.

Obviously, there is nothing modular about the Security Nine. Are you saying there is nothing modular about the RAP ? If so, here is the RAP fire control module.

Swapping fire control housings isn't "modular" to me. Perhaps my definition of modular is different to those in the gun industry.

And I'm of the opinion that a removable fire control module is cheaper that one that's not.
 
Interestingly, the Security 9 has slide rails that are the full length of the "frame insert" rather than the four small tabs found on many pistols.
 
"The pistolet Tokarev 7,62mm TT-33 has a removable fire control module device packet."

Part of the TT-30's trigger module are the gun's feed lips, which makes the magazine a simple ammo storage device and greatly reduces the chance of malfunctions due to rough magazine handling or damage.

Why that concept has not caught on I'll never know.
 
For that price, the 9E still gets my vote. I'm assuming the striker 9E will have the better trigger, as well as higher capacity. And the SR9 has a pretty good reputation for reliability as well

Companies wouldn't offer a safety if people didn't buy them. But, for the new and inexperienced gun buyer, price is the first selling point. And a manual safety seems like a logical mechanism on a firearm. For the complete novice person, the idea that a semi-auto wouldn't have a safety is an odd idea.

Over half of the cops in America carry autoloading pistols with no safeties. Glocks.
 
This new pistol seems to harken back to the era of concealed hammer single action pistols. Much like the 1908 Colt pistol, the Security-9 has a thumb safety and an additional passive safety, abeit on the trigger face rather than on the grip. If so, then once again "past is prologue" in the handgun market!
 
Lee said it. The LCPII and this are using the Kel Tec hammer.

I'm surprised how little attention that gets when discussing the LCPII and no round loaded comments. That's a decade old comment to a modified Kel Tec P3AT.

Looks like an overgrown lcpII

Lol, that is exactly why I would not be interested. The New E Ruger which is the economy version of the LC9S at a selling Price now of only $209. will be a heck of a deal when the price lowers in a few month. Pickup one of those and that will be heck of a deal.
