It's not a slide release according to the Ruger manual, it is a slide stop. However, i sent mine to Ruger for another issue and when it came back it works perfectly as a slide release now.
Walked into Rural King last Friday to buy dog food and thought I'd check stock in the gun dept. Walked out about 25 minutes later with a new Ruger Security 9 ($299.99) $317.99 including 6% state sales tax. Didn't have time to go to the range this weekend and the local range is close on Mon & Tue, so I'll go put about 150 through it Wed evening. I've been told the slide release loosens up after some use, but it does need to be a little bigger.
Bought a Canik Tp9sf Elite for $320 including tax. Tenifer finish, match grade barrel, Warren tactical sights, fiber optic front sights (steel also), best trigger, and a hinged plastic gun box. Security 9 cannot compare for this price.
@@satown6354 that is a good deal....I forgot, where is Canik made? Prescott, Arz. Oh wait!....that's where good ol American Ruger is made! People just love stuffing $$ in the g-strings of foreign companies, then complain when businesses pack-up and move overseas! I'm proud to say I own several Rugers. One being a 10/22 I've owned for 42 yrs. I'll pass on the Canik thank u!
@@markshippoli8918 I do understand what you are saying to a point, but remember appliances, electronics, vehicles and such are also produced overseas. LG, Samsung, Sony, toyota, mercedes, BMW........the list goes on. Just sayin. Have a good evening.
@@satown6354 lol....and I get what you're say too! I obviously don't own 100% American stuff. On some things you'd be hard pressed to find an American equivalent....such as phones, and TV's.

Please allow me to apologize...cause I do own a Stoeger 9mm(Turkey) Sig(half Germany half American) Bersa(Argentina)....i'd say my collection is about 70% American. I was harsh to judge you! Safe shooting my friend....enjoy the Canik.
@@markshippoli8918 no problem sir. I've owned several Rugers. Loved my American Compact, except it killed my thumb knuckle. I also do not have my Canik anymore. I carry a CZ P07. I wanted a hammer fired gun. That Canik was amazing though. Should have kept it in my collection. Take care.
I just bought one with the factory installed Viridun laser. Haven't fired it yet...going to the range this week, but it sure as hell is easier to carry than my faithful P89, being it's 9 or 10oz lighter. Looking forward to giving a trial run. Thanks for the vid. It's guys like you that help some of us decide what to buy!!
@@sliver64209 Well, it's been 100% flawless. Feeds everything I throw into it. I bought a couple of 17rd mags for it. I like the extension because I've got big hands. It's fairly accurate, but I have better groups with my P-89 and my Canik.
Bought my Security 9 today for $299 Rural King I have many pistols, mainly Ruger. (Customer Service is excellent) I don't have large hands so this oistol fits my hand great!
I have not changed sights on mine as I shoot and hunt and carry it with me everywhere I go in all weather conditions as it works great for me as is Very Reliable
I know this is old, but how did it go with your ejector repair? I had a similar problem. They replaced the extractor. I compared it with the old one, but there was no difference. Not a measurable one. I tried the repaired firearm out, but i still had the extraction problem every 7 or 8 shots. I reread the letter, and noticed they fired 50 rounds of a certain ammo without issue. So, I changed ammo and size. I did not get the same brand, but I did get a better brand, and used 124 instead of 115 grain. Everyone wants the 115 because it's cheaper and usually more available, and maybe they think it is more accurate cuz it's like 50 fps faster. But the 124g worked better. I shot about 1k rounds with the 124, with no issues. After that, I assume it was "broken in" (124 has a bit more kick than 115, contrary to what a lot of people say), I was able to fire 500 rounds of 115 without issue. I was using S&B and Blaser, your mileage may vary. The bullets grouped the same with both the 115 and 124, but the groups were in slightly different spots. 80% of that variation was probably me. I did not have any issues with the Sec 9 again, until I used Freedom Arms ammo. I think any minuscule irregularities in case or rim dimensions will cause that "stuck empty" problem. I had every 7 shots get "stuck" again, and there was also a noticeable difference in recoil from one shot to the next. Needless to say, those groups sucked. I cleaned the gun out and went back to S&B ammo. I can't believe bad ammo still exists in this day and age, but here we are. Stay away from Armscore as well, unless you're going to use it in a rifle. Had two boxes of Armscore .38s 20 rounds didn't fire in a revolver. Thats a 20% failure rate. Dealer said the Armscore primer cups are irregularly hard, so some handguns won't ignite them, but then went on to say "but it's good for range ammo". No sir, it is not. Forget about the psychological stress of removing "almost fired" bullets from your gun with your fingernails, but why would you practice with bullets you could never actually use in a life or death situation? I know people don't always target practice with defensive ammo, but you should be able to pick up your gun and use it to defend yourself, even if it still had "range ammo" in it. The bullets did eventually work flawlessly in a rifle, as he also stated they would (due to more progressive springs in rifles) but that's besides the point. Long story short, for anyone having an extractor problem off the bat, get better ammo and try 124g for a box or two. And don't buy Armscore or Freedom ammo for your handguns.
Great gun. I use one for my carry/truck gun and really like it. My favorite practice ammo is 124gr CCI Blazer Brass. Never had it malfunction with that brand and I've put hundreds through it.
Dude!! the sec 9 comes with 2 mags new,,,,if you only got 1 I urge you to go back to your dealer and ask where the 2nd one went. I bought mine june 2020 and got 2 mags so check it out. As to my own view of the sec 9,,I love it, accurate, reliable, easy to maintain, good weapon.
Olight mini is what I use . Laser light combo . Real easy to install no tool needed. What I need to know is what holster this guy is using . Can’t find one configured for light attachment.
Many of the Ruger newer models (post P series) have a SLIDE LOCK ONLY!. The reason is with such high spring tension to make sure the round goes into battery, you use full slide inertia by pulling it back and releasing it. Ruger needs to print a warning in big red letters not to use the slide lock as a release.
Had a chance to get one two days ago. Went back to store next day GONE WITH THE WIND. I had to come home and RUclips it! Should have bought it $279. If I didn’t like it I could have taken it back. Like a lot of things I think about what I have similar and then I only wish!
I wasnt a huge fan of the grip but i put a traction grips overlay on it...its great. If you tale your time putting it on there is nonseems and looks original
I shoot weekly and besides my main go to carry gun I have to have a couple of warmup shots before I start shooting most gun & ammo combinations good and some guns still tend to shoot left and low left I don't think it's always me sometimes it seems like an ammo thing or a gun thing.. we all find that 1 ammo for each gun that hits point of aim better than others and one of my 40's prints left with pretty much everything I run through it.. hopefully I can drift those sights and fix the problem I've noticed in that 40 the lighter bullets hit lower and the 180's hit higher.. the 180's are much closer to point of aim as far as up & down goes
I have to agree with PewPew...for an economy gun, it has a really good trigger. It's a very easy to run gun. I took a class with it...and it was a solid pleasure to use! No hiccups. Never needed my back-up gun. The Security 9 is one of my favorites in that size pistol.
Hello and good afternoon, I have a security 9 and I am really curious on wha light are you running as well was what holster do you use with that light. Its been supper difficult to find both
Well I hate to pop your bubble. I know you've done this long time ago but you're going to get a big surprise when you try to elevate or adjust your site up and down. You got side to side capability not up and down capability. If you're low left that's probably you
@@PewPewReviews can you tell me what holster you used for this, being that you have a light on it as well. I've looked all over and still looking for something decent.
Anyone have a cc holster for theres that they love?? Picked up a polecraft for mine, but kinda uncomfortable and just can't seem to get rid of the printing. TIA!
Its what I carry everywhere every day. As a Uber driver I always got one ready to go.
Totally agree, I have several handguns and this one is still my favorite.
It's a comfy little tac shooter if you treat it right!
I bought 2 of them during this pandemic. I love the grip and the weight is perfect
if you put the mag in with a little force (not a ton, and ammo in the mag as well) it actually auto forwards!
It sure does😎
Also works with the ruger 57
I got a secuirty 9 two years ago, shortly after I got the lcp2. I really like rugers polymer framed pistols.
I'm looking at a Ruger 5-7 once things calm down and the ammo is accessible again.
Cabellas has them new for 299.00 . I just bought one and I love the thing. Great grip, and not a single jam in over 500 rounds so far.
Tear down is "tool less" in a sense. There's a cut out on the mag to remove the pin.
And yes, if you load the mag with some force it will trigger the slide release, in a sort of "auto forward" action.
It's not a slide release according to the Ruger manual, it is a slide stop. However, i sent mine to Ruger for another issue and when it came back it works perfectly as a slide release now.

Shell casing doesn't always eject, gets jammed often. Sent to Ruger and they replaced the ejector. Haven't fired it since, hope all goes well.
Mine was same out the box. Practice ejecting intire magazines and took it apart and cleaned a ludicrous amoutn of packing grease
It depends on the gun and how you keep it maintained. My Ruger P95DC eats steelcase with no issues.
