If you're perplexed about the NRA plug, you've either missed a couple of recent "talking" videos, or else you are a bad listener. :-) "Shooting the Breeze" # 37 explains all.
I support your current position in regards to the NRA.They are not Focused on fighting the big battles only the easy ones in select states.They need to clean up their act and get people in there who will fight for every Law abiding American In Every state of our country with the same Determination and perseverance to achieve Our 2nd Amendment Victories We all should have never lost in the first place!Keep up the good work Hickok thank you🇺🇸
You're a joy to watch, you're knowledgeable, not only do you "Talk the Talk" but you "Walk the Walk", you don't use foul language, and if you cannot get on with or you dislike a gun you say so, so many younger "RUclips" presenters would be well advised to follow your excellent example and standards.
my wife and daughter have two of these they purchased them at a really good price. they used the rugers at a ladies shooting class up by chino valley az and did really well with them.
Curtis 23 as a concealed carry firearm, Any situation you may encounter you probably won’t have a chance to reload your handgun because you or the threat will be dead or both uninjured. FBI case studies will prove that. That being said if the extra mag makes you feel safer or at the very least “tacti-cool” then by all means. You can grab one for 25 bucks 😉. Cheers.
You’ll get 3 if you buy a Glock. How much money do you want to spend? For some people, they’re saying “I don’t have much money and only need one magazine, why do all these gun manufacturers make me buy 2?”
There failures are due to the 12 round mag spring. Ruger will replace and test the new spring with the ammo you were using when the problem occurred. Rugers customer service is top notch
I have both sizes of the security 9s. I loved my first one. I bought it when it came out. When the compact came out, I got it right away. I've put about 800 rounds through the security 9 standard size; I've put about 300 rounds through the security 9 compact. I've used both sizes of magazines in the compact, and I've never had a malfunction--I always use Fiocchi 124 grain. Maybe you just had some bad luck?
@@rosemarsili9159, you would never know I have it on me. Now Ruger has an even smaller 9mm in the sub compact size. It is around the same size as a Sig Sauer p365.
I too had the failure-to-eject malfunction. In the two magazines that came with it, I had one failure in each. Ruger's customer service was amazing as usual. Gun came back and I shot around 150 rounds through it and no malfunctions.
The compact needs a lighter recoil spring its pretty stiff thats causing the malfunctions. Galloway precision sells the -10% recoil spring got mine the other day and no malfuctions since.
I've seen these and the standard ones, held them, but haven't fired either yet. Both seem great, so I like seeing more information like this. Thank you again for another great video.
Back in the '90's I had a Ruger P89 I bought used and the pistol would not extract a cartridge. I inspected it and found the extractor was jammed out and not in towards breach face. I laid pistol on it's side and pressed a screwdriver against it and it gave way and went in. I found a sliver of brass casing had jammed it open. Someone had traded in the pistol because of this without troubleshooting the problem.
Keep up the good videos brother. Went to Neurologist today see surgeon. Have neuropathy and spinal stenosis. Don’t how long for recovery And how much use of hands and walking with balance I will get back. Meanwhile o wait patiently for your video to drop and several others on you-tube. Fishing in my boat and shooting my gun will be my therapy goals. Keep them coming. Life is good and God is good, all the time.
Good luck to you on the back issues, my back is pretty messed up due to having broke it twice in the same two places (double break twice), the last time was in 1994 and it was never fixed correctly and now it is too late to really do much about it I'm told, but I'm just too stuborn to quit, I just keep chugging along doing pretty much everything I want outside of a bunch of walking and standing (mine has turned into major nerve stuff but I refuse to let the doctors touch me any more untill I am completely bed riden ), you can still do your shooting just do like I do, I bought a walker(the ones with wheels) and let it carry my heavy gear, and when my back has had enough I sit down on it and do my shooting, same if I go fishing on the boat or on the shore, anyhow best of luck to ya and take care brother
Genius marketing by Ruger. Create a budget oriented, reliable 9mm, then wait before releasing the compact version. I've already sold my Security 9 and am shopping for this one.
The Security 9 pistol is a fine shootin' iron for the price. Ruger scored a hit with that one, and now comes the compact version, also bound to be popular. Re: the FTEs that Hickok experienced, most self-loaders need a break-in period; I wouldn't be surprised if that was the issue. Sometimes, it's because they just don't "like" a particular loading.
Holy shit,this is the first time i've watched a Hickok45 video on the same day and the gun range has changed. What's happening to this world? 😎 Great video as always.
I really like my S9 Compact!! THis weekend the spring/rod assembly POPPED!!! Called Ruger.... they are sending me a new one out right away. Excellent service for all the years I have dealt with them!!!
Your awesome Hickok, I just picked up mine on 4/9 Friday I haven’t fired it yet but I did used to have the Ruger SR9 when I was a officer and Ruger have always been a good reliable quality pistol... No complaints on my end!! But anyway you might be the first man I come to on RUclips when it comes to guns
This seems to be the theme with Ruger products these days. Of the 3 new Ruger guns I purchased over the last 2 years, two had to go back for rework. They had issues right out of the box. At least Ruger fixed both within a reasonable time frame, and paid for shipping but it is still a lot of hassle.
I've had issues also, a friend and I bought 17wsm., m77s, both were almost unshootable out of the box, both got new triggers, and work quite well now. We aren't overly particular, just were terrible. My son's mark 3 pistol was nonfunctioning also. not the trigger, but wouldn;t chamber the next round for all sorts of reasons, a little polishing and it works fine now.
@@jordanking9168 well, if you look real close it would appear this NEW SECURITY 9 COMPACT looks a lot like a REWORKED SR9c to me. i have owned an SR9c for over 5 years now. got it new in SOUTH DAKOTA. it runs like a slick GLOCK. always functions. works fine as a ccw. imho.
@@Hawkeye_SAR the sleeve? If you order the 15 round mag for the Compact it comes with the sleeve, but they also just have regular 15 round mags for the original Security 9.
I replaced my Slide Spring with one from Galloway Precision. It’s the same Spring tension16lbs. The only differance the spring rod is Stainless Steel instead of Plastic. This is on my Secutity-9
It is a defense pistol, those failures didn't bode well for Security 9 owners. I wonder if the Ruger was new, and needed a couple of hundred rounds of break in. I know Kahr used to ship at least some models with a warning to fire 200 rounds before considering the pistol broken in. That was years ago though. Multiple misfunctions not good though. I hope Ruger sees this & sends him some pistols to try out.
Because of health reasons and hand strength, I only own revolvers in .22 and .38 Smith and Wesson load. I am interested at the new Taurus 856+P. 38 special. Incase you get a hold of one. I would like to see you test it out. Thanks Hicock45. Love your videos.
I just bought the security 9- compact. So far, so good. I won't doubt the Glock 26 is technically better. After all the Glock costs $200 more! When I rented the Glock 26, I had the worst time dealing with FTE/limp-wristing, because the grip was like trying to hang onto a square wooden block! I didn't have that problem with the Ruger.
New mine was cranky til i put 300 rounds thru it then it smothed out and my moa wasbt great. I adjusted my grip and accuracy improved. After 7 years and about 8000 rounds thru it until it went *click* during some +P Liberty lightweights. Firing pin was worn out. Sent it to Ruger tuesday and it'll be home wednesday, 8 day turn around. Ill save the +P for my Ruger P95.
Just picked mine up two days ago. With the gun and ammo shortage of 2020 it was hard to find one. I ended up ordering it from buds gunshop and shipped to my local dealer.
judging by the bullet holes in the drum you were hiding behind it looks like your targets were shooting back LOL!! Great review of the Ruger security 9 compact....I have one as well and it out performs the Taurus Gx4 Gc2-3 but NOTHING beats my Springfield collection of .45 .9s and .380
My ec9s has that first failure you had constantly. Exact same one. Keeps the spent round in the chamber and double feeds a new one. It does that twice per 7 round mags sometimes. I'm disappointed with Ruger for that. I thought they were quality
It is ironic that your large frame, Security 9, performed so well. But that compact model seems to have feeding / jamming issues. Perhaps you should get another and try a chapter 2 review? But I would contact Ruger too. (Good luck with your Summer allergies.)
@@hickok45 Thats great! (Lets hope it functions better, but I'm sure it will.) I have 2 Ruger American pistols, and one magazine seems to Not lock the slide back, from time to time...I need to call Ruger and get the mag. replaced. I still like Ruger products though!
I don't know what it is you're doing or what camera/mic you're using to record these videos, but the sound on this video is excellent! Being a sound engineer myself, it's just something I noticed. I've been watching your videos for years, and your videos rarely sound this good! They never sound bad, but this video's sound really stands out! Good job, John! :^)
I bought it after watching your review, and I've been impressed. Still working on better grouping, but my accuracy is doing better. Got about 200 rounds through it and 0 issues. I also can use the same Fobus passive retention holster I used with my Ruger P95, didn't even have to adjust it.
One of the big differences between it and the Glock is that the Ruger is hammer fired instead of striker fired. That explains why the slide has to go further back to cock it.
So far I like the security 9 compact. But I admit I had some accuracy issues at about 15 yards. Then again, still getting used to it, and that rear, u- notch sight. With no jams after about 100 shots or so over two sessions, I think it's a good value!
Thanks!, I've been looking forward to seeing your review of this pistol. The malfunctions are a disappointment. If you figure out what caused them, I'd be interested in seeing a 'chapter2'.
I agree with that as Ruger guns are made well. I have four different ones. Would really like to know if it was the gun or the extended magazine. Thank you Hickok 45 Sir and John for all your hard work.
An unrelated question for hickok45. What do you think about using snakeshot rounds for Non-Lethal self defense? I use a Ruger 357 to kill snakes with snakeshot rounds. I wonder if they would make a good consealed carry Non-Lethal round for my Smith J-Frame enclosed hammer 38? Please consider doing a video on the use of snake shot rounds of different types on targets with analysis. There are times you don't want to kill your opponent. Just injure them enough to leave you alone. Snake shot might be the answer to this situational problem.
Not sure but why you didn't put the sleeve on the long mag? It's there for a reason. Would like to see you shoot it with sleeve and see if there are still malfunctions.
Thank you for all your videos. My wife even watches your reviews. We both value you experience. Great gun wish I could get it in California. What holster are you using in the video?
Kudos to Ruger for designing and selling quality pistols at affordable prices. I am sure the failure to extract issues are specific to that handgun. On a personal note, I notice a manual safety on the Ruger Security 9 Compact just like the Security 9. Not a big fan of manual safeties on concealed carry handguns. I wonder if it has to do with the trigger system? If so, I know my excellent LCPii has the same trigger system but no safety. Curious.
would like to see you do a video on the new Taurus 22lr semi-auto, have been looking at one ,am waiting to get more info before I " pull the trigger" . I have had bad experiences with Taurus in the past....
Their cheap, which doesn't mean bad, but Taurus is literally the worst gun company out there. I've had some lemons. Also had a 605 that I liked, although it had problems immediately and shot loose. I'm not usually one to knock a company on a hand full of specimens, and I really appreciate value guns. But there are so many better options out there around the price of a Taurus. I love interarm era Rossis. In an autoloader I would get a military surplus or police trade, but there are reasonably priced new guns that rival Taurus features, with a fraction of the breakages. Kahrs cw line can be found super cheap, and they are actually a quality gun. The Ruger is a different story. Their common carry guns can be had cheaply as well, but they're rugers.
@@FearScherer Agreed. On mine I polished the feed ramp and changed to stainless steel rod. About 550 rounds so far with no issues. The LCP2 had issue...me. I was hitting mag release. Changed up grip, slightly, and no more me issues. Great little shooter. Polished feed ramp as well. Got a thing about that...
Agreed. Hickock is much more accurate a shooter than that ruger makes him out to be. And it seems to jam a lot. Maybe their revolvers are more reliable?
That might be why that ruger is much less expensive than some other models: $300+ vs Glock 19 $600. The maker is just doing enough to meet specs so they can't expect it to sell at premium price.
Makinja The $600 Gen4 Glock came out of the gate with issues too. My G43 did as well.None of the manufacturers are taking the time to thoroughly test stuff anymore. Spit it out of the factory and let the customer test it is the mantra of most all companies these days.
I have a question about gun maintenance. I appreciated your video about cleaning the 1911, and wanted your opinion about ease of maintenance between various models. I've seen some comments that this or that polymer gun never needs cleaning but I don't buy that. I've been looking at everything from the full size 1911 and G17 to compacts and revolvers. My interest is primarily recreational and partially for home defense. I'm focusing on 9mm because I can handle the recoil and ammunition seems to be affordable, and I've seen some nice handguns of various sizes and shapes in 9mm. Anyway, just wanted to let you know where I was starting and wanted your opinion. Thanks for reading.
Buckets of ammo through my SR9 and SR9c and I'm trying to remember if either of them have ever jammed in any way. Odd that the new hotness is having struggles to replace what worked just fine.
been TWO years ?? Update; Really like my Ruger Security 9 Compact!! Its my every day carry for a while now. Reliable and easy to conceal. I did paint the sights area "white"... and makes target acquisition a LOT easier. That little "U" on the back sight was too hard to work with for me. Very nice gun.
Hey Hickok, I love your work! Would You consider making a video about the Jericho 941 F? I‘m thinking about buying one and I‘d like to know what You think about the gun. Greetings from Germany
I have an original Jericho 941. It is one of best shooting pistols, with most comfortable grip and trigger, than any other pistol I own. Plus if just looks cool! But its a great gun. You will not regret buying it!

Yep. Never had that problem w my g19...
I haven't heard any issues with the original security 9. Whenever you add a larger magazine it tends to jam more.
As someone said below. I always watch hickok45s video before pullin the trigger on a new gun ! I’ve been watching for years

There failures are due to the 12 round mag spring. Ruger will replace and test the new spring with the ammo you were using when the problem occurred. Rugers customer service is top notch
In my opinion the malfuctions are do to the reciol spring being too heavy need a lighter spring
The Ruger American compact had a problem with the 12 round magazine springs. This pistol takes a 10 round magazine.

@@hickok45 Thats great! (Lets hope it functions better, but I'm sure it will.) I have 2 Ruger American pistols, and one magazine seems to Not lock the slide back, from time to time...I need to call Ruger and get the mag. replaced. I still like Ruger products though!
Most guns look compact when Hickok holds them 😂
My ec9 had the same issues for the first 100 rounds or so, after that it seems to work fine
I don't know what it is you're doing or what camera/mic you're using to record these videos, but the sound on this video is excellent! Being a sound engineer myself, it's just something I noticed. I've been watching your videos for years, and your videos rarely sound this good! They never sound bad, but this video's sound really stands out! Good job, John! :^)
I bought it after watching your review, and I've been impressed. Still working on better grouping, but my accuracy is doing better. Got about 200 rounds through it and 0 issues. I also can use the same Fobus passive retention holster I used with my Ruger P95, didn't even have to adjust it.
What kind of holster do you have ?
@@jordannavarro9724 Fobus.
Another great video.Good luck in the future.
You need to review the Hi-Point Yeet Cannon 9 (YC9) when it comes out
Looks even uglier. There, it's been reviewed
Still watching you after years , still wanting to buy almost every firearm you test.
It's an excellent pistol. Love shooting it
One of the big differences between it and the Glock is that the Ruger is hammer fired instead of striker fired. That explains why the slide has to go further back to cock it.
So far I like the security 9 compact. But I admit I had some accuracy issues at about 15 yards. Then again, still getting used to it, and that rear, u- notch sight. With no jams after about 100 shots or so over two sessions, I think it's a good value!
Your fault
Dear Ruger, keep it. Thanks for the video Hickok!
Learning so much all about safety not only talk but showing me on video
Thanks!, I've been looking forward to seeing your review of this pistol.
The malfunctions are a disappointment.
If you figure out what caused them, I'd be interested in seeing a 'chapter2'.
I was thinking a schpritz of Rem Oil or some such...
How can a magazine induce a failure to extract?
I agree with that as Ruger guns are made well. I have four different ones. Would really like to know if it was the gun or the extended magazine. Thank you Hickok 45 Sir and John for all your hard work.
It failed during his self defense reenactment with the original magazine also yikes ...
Maybe it just needs more breaking in ? I'd wait a little bit before I purchase one to be sure
Good day,
Great video as usual and many thanks for sharing, thumbs up and best regards from New Zealand.
Still love your videos and I appreciate you love for shooting.
An unrelated question for hickok45. What do you think about using snakeshot rounds for Non-Lethal self defense? I use a Ruger 357 to kill snakes with snakeshot rounds. I wonder if they would make a good consealed carry Non-Lethal round for my Smith J-Frame enclosed hammer 38? Please consider doing a video on the use of snake shot rounds of different types on targets with analysis. There are times you don't want to kill your opponent. Just injure them enough to leave you alone. Snake shot might be the answer to this situational problem.
Not sure but why you didn't put the sleeve on the long mag? It's there for a reason. Would like to see you shoot it with sleeve and see if there are still malfunctions.
“Cuz it goes bang.” That’s why we love ya Hickok. lol
This man had an LCP in his pocket... What a legend.
I need a shooting range like yours.
Thank you for all your videos. My wife even watches your reviews. We both value you experience. Great gun wish I could get it in California. What holster are you using in the video?
Hey Hickock45...have you thought about reviewing a CZ-2075 RAMI?
Gonna be doing video on the hi-point yeet cannon when it comes out?
The first security 9 model shot really low. How is the poa to poi?
My LCP ii shoots really low also.
@@DamionJR4923 my lcp 2 shoots great compared to my old lcp 1 . The security 9 is a nice pistol. Just shoots too low.
Kudos to Ruger for designing and selling quality pistols at affordable prices. I am sure the failure to extract issues are specific to that handgun. On a personal note, I notice a manual safety on the Ruger Security 9 Compact just like the Security 9. Not a big fan of manual safeties on concealed carry handguns. I wonder if it has to do with the trigger system? If so, I know my excellent LCPii has the same trigger system but no safety. Curious.
Glad to see you've got your pot addiction under control. Not a single "smoke" in the video
would like to see you do a video on the new Taurus 22lr semi-auto, have been looking at one ,am waiting to get more info before I " pull the trigger" . I have had bad experiences with Taurus in the past....
So use your experience and Don't buy one ....get a S&W or anything else.
Now we want to see a video with the Taurus G2c. Your most viewed video of all time.
Yuck
Love mine. Along with LCP2.
Their cheap, which doesn't mean bad, but Taurus is literally the worst gun company out there. I've had some lemons. Also had a 605 that I liked, although it had problems immediately and shot loose. I'm not usually one to knock a company on a hand full of specimens, and I really appreciate value guns. But there are so many better options out there around the price of a Taurus. I love interarm era Rossis. In an autoloader I would get a military surplus or police trade, but there are reasonably priced new guns that rival Taurus features, with a fraction of the breakages. Kahrs cw line can be found super cheap, and they are actually a quality gun. The Ruger is a different story. Their common carry guns can be had cheaply as well, but they're rugers.
@@FearScherer Agreed. On mine I polished the feed ramp and changed to stainless steel rod. About 550 rounds so far with no issues. The LCP2 had issue...me. I was hitting mag release. Changed up grip, slightly, and no more me issues. Great little shooter. Polished feed ramp as well. Got a thing about that...
ruger needs to get the bugs out of this gun befor they sell many my thought
Agreed. Hickock is much more accurate a shooter than that ruger makes him out to be. And it seems to jam a lot. Maybe their revolvers are more reliable?
I think every gun manufacturer needs to test their products a lot more than they do. It seems like theyre doing all their testing via youtuber
That might be why that ruger is much less expensive than some other models: $300+ vs Glock 19 $600. The maker is just doing enough to meet specs so they can't expect it to sell at premium price.
Makinja The $600 Gen4 Glock came out of the gate with issues too. My G43 did as well.None of the manufacturers are taking the time to thoroughly test stuff anymore. Spit it out of the factory and let the customer test it is the mantra of most all companies these days.
Yeah. Guess it's all about how much they can sell them for.
I have a question about gun maintenance. I appreciated your video about cleaning the 1911, and wanted your opinion about ease of maintenance between various models. I've seen some comments that this or that polymer gun never needs cleaning but I don't buy that. I've been looking at everything from the full size 1911 and G17 to compacts and revolvers. My interest is primarily recreational and partially for home defense. I'm focusing on 9mm because I can handle the recoil and ammunition seems to be affordable, and I've seen some nice handguns of various sizes and shapes in 9mm. Anyway, just wanted to let you know where I was starting and wanted your opinion.
Thanks for reading.
Buckets of ammo through my SR9 and SR9c and I'm trying to remember if either of them have ever jammed in any way. Odd that the new hotness is having struggles to replace what worked just fine.
Nice gun! Please do a video on the diamondback AM2!!!
I hope he will review the yc9 when they come out.
I've watched a lot of your videos just subscribed you do an incredible job thanks
I’ll make sure to check out Gud’s Bun shop for all my pastry needs, lol.
been TWO years ?? Update; Really like my Ruger Security 9 Compact!! Its my every day carry for a while now. Reliable and easy to conceal. I did paint the sights area "white"... and makes target acquisition a LOT easier. That little "U" on the back sight was too hard to work with for me. Very nice gun.
is it small enough to pocket carry? I have the EC9s (want something a little bigger) and the full size Security 9 (Too big to pocket carry). Thanks.
@@WilliamPatterson-v5j I don't see it as a "pocket carry".... no. IWB appendix is how I have it. Perfect.
🔥🔥always liked his aim
Hey Hickok,
I love your work!
Would You consider making a video about the Jericho 941 F? I‘m thinking about buying one and I‘d like to know what You think about the gun.
Greetings from Germany
I have an original Jericho 941. It is one of best shooting pistols, with most comfortable grip and trigger, than any other pistol I own. Plus if just looks cool! But its a great gun. You will not regret buying it!
I had ftf in my glick 23 the first hundred rounds I fired it. Didnt like Winchester 165gr Fmj. So I stay away from it.
