How is the LCP II trigger? Apparently it has the same.

The LCP II's trigger isn't bad...for such a small, confined gun. However given how much room should be available inside a Security-9 frame, I for one would expect it to be engineered for it to be significantly better if it's going to stand a chance in the marketplace. If not, there's too many alternatives that have already answered that call.

Interesting as the internal frame is aluminum rather than steel.

Seems to target those who only want to spend $300 for a pistol who probably will shoot a couple boxes of ammo a year. Nothing wrong with that and some decent options are available at the $300 level for a new pistol these days. The size and weight are certainly good for an all purpose sized double stack pistol assuming it proves to be reliable.

Only Ruger I own is a Mark II rim fire pistol and I don't see that changing.

"Precision machined, hard coated aluminum chassis with full-length guide rails."

"Precision machined, hard coated aluminum chassis with full-length guide rails."

Get some grease!

I don't see anything about this gun that's particularly compelling. Smith has this gun bracketed on the on both the high and low end price-wise (M&P 2.0C and the SD9VE.)

The G19 has been creeping up price-wise. I wonder if the new crop of guns coming in under it (and I'm going to say the M&P 2.0C especially), is going to make them rethink this.

I don't need to stinking grease for my Glock.

Too ugly, try again...

Hammer fired and a whole lot of ugly. Rugers next flop.

Why don't they release a smaller Ruger American Pistol? Isn't that what the chassis system is all about?

If it is better then the SR9c I have I might get one.

I'm glad to see that Ruger still thinks the key to a popular autopistol is to make it the ugliest one on the market.

As much as P-series guns were built like tanks, they, too, were among the ugliest of their contemporaries.

Could not agree more. Put that pimpwagon next to Ruger's LC9S and you have a night and day difference. Actually I was rather hoping that Ruger had used the styling cues of the LC9s, such as a nicely rounded slide and frame that is easy to holster and a rounded trigger guard instead of that ugly squared off or hooked trigger guard that is featured on nearly every other "service" pistol on the market. They could also lose the forward serrations on the slide because darned near nobody ever uses them.

It'll do better than their American series.

That is so ugly that it makes a Glock look handsome.

IMHO the Ruger American is a much better looking pistol, both the full size and the compact. I recommended one to a friend of mine on a tight budget and his full size American has been utterly reliable, has a pretty good trigger, and is very accurate at that.

This very much feels like a forced use of the "Security" name by Ruger for the sake of trying to stir up some nostalgia for some older shooters and for them to have a catchy name to market to the younger ones. Proprietary and expensive magazines will hurt this pistol if they don't keep them reasonable.

Such a shame they decided to go with a hammer fired system. I am a big fan of Ruger and probably would’ve bought this for the hell of it. However the thumb safety and hammer fired mechanism ended that.

+1000

Aluminum chassis? No thanks, when all the others are steel.

Don't know why now but it reminds me of a Martin Tuma design.

Add to that 180mm+- in length and I'm attracted.

I like the Ruger P series guns just picked up a mint in box stainless P 95 with papers and ex mag . and also a P89 . I think they are a dam good gun for the money . I may pick up this new one when I run across one .
