  1. Thanks, Pat, for a great article! I’m quite fond of Rugers, and have owned several of them (M77-30.06, 10/22, and Sec. Six) for many years.

    More recently, I inherited a Ruger P91DC (.40 S&W) from my father. Before his passing, Dad had mentioned that this pistol was built very rugged and would safely handle just about any kind of +P load.

    After reading your article, I’m now interested in researching more about the P91DC to see how it might differ from the P85, or others in this series. If you have any additional insights or experiences in this regard, I’d be most interested in hearing them. Thanks again!

  2. Good review of a pistol I did not know existed! I counted up all of the Ruger firearms I own and it stands at 7. All of them are very good shooters and were reasonably priced as Pat points out. For the money you get a very decent product with Ruger. I have really wanted to get an American Competition model in 9mm but with this shortage of semiauto handguns and ammo ( although I reload and as a prepper have more than enough 9mm to last until doomsday ) have been unable to get one. But this review piquets my interest also. To tell the truth I have at least 4 compact 9’s already but hey a guy can always make room for one more, it’s a compact right?

  3. My CCW instructor nudged me to move from revolvers to a semi auto for self defense. I choose the Ruger Security 9 because its magazines will fit the Ruger PC Carbine I hope to get soon. Same mags, same ammo – I strive to keep it simple and reduce parts and stockpiled calibers. Every nice thing said about the American Compact above seems to apply to the Sec 9; and I love it! It’s easy to shoot (and then get back on target due to minimal recoil), fits my hand perfectly, has a lean, snag-free beveled design, and seems solidly built. Fun and 15+1 (or 17+1 with the Carbine’s mag plus a simple slide-on adapter). I’ve shot a pal’s PC Carbine too and found it to be a delight as well. My only “complaint” came yesterday when I took a look at the Security 9 (sub)Compact (their regular Sec 9 is already considered compact despite a full 4″ barrel and 15 rnd mag). The ‘little guy’ is only a tad bit smaller than the regular one, perhaps not worth the reduction to 10+1. But yes, Ruger is making some fine affordable products (low $300 at a show in the fall) that make for a smart, functional system.

  4. i’m liking the glock 43x…better/longer grip with the 10 round mags and there is a company making 15 round mags for it and the newer version, an MOS version has just come out…all it needs now is a rail…
