basically a P11 with a rail and a safety.  See them selling for a hair north of $300.  10rd mag.  Still plastic sights...

Looks fine to me. I’ll never buy one tho.

It kinda blows my mind just how many companies are putting out CC pistols these days. You think the market would be saturated by now. We have had 20years of really sold modern CC guns made. Still makes me scratch my head.

The market constantly changes and people love chasing it. That being said the newer modern tiny 9's are pretty cool and something that hasn't been around forever.

The Sig 365 I view as new and somewhat ground breaking. Everything else is just the same old thing to me.

And as someone who owns a G26 and a G42 something truly special has to get me motivated buy. The Sig 365 almost does it for me but the issues they are having keep me from buying.

I guess we have a large number of first time gun buyers each year which is kinda where I see the gun excelling in sales at. That’s a great thing by the way.

The P11 is an inch shorter, slightly thinner, hammer fired DAO, 4 ounces lighter.  In fact it's smaller and higher capacity than the Sig 365.

The Ruger is closer to a Glock 26, so how is it a P11 clone?

I have never really looked at the P11. And from a few images online it’s a heck of a lot smaller than the G26. Would like to see some of those cool transparent overlay images of the 365 vs P11 that someone on here does.

The single stack 9mm market was a lot slimmer and in my opinion still has plenty of room to grow. Kahr was the only real game in town forever and the trigger really turned a lot of people off because they were hard to shoot well. PPS Shield 42 were all improvements and they keep getting better.

Fire control unit and the entire gun design is a stolen KelTec design.  Just supersized.  Look at an exploded view of each.  Basically identical internally...just like the LCP & the P3AT

sort of.  They have no restrike as they fire from the half cocked position.  But yes, they are hammer fired.  Ruger changed the trigger bar on the LCP II and the Security 9 to pull the sear rather than the hammer like on the original KelTec design.  That allows for a lighter trigger pull with less travel.  Go watch a detail disassembly video of the Security 9 on Youtube if you want to see how it works.

If it is close to the SR9C in size, I might pick one up as an extra for my cc rotation. I am sad to see the SR series go away.
Great shooting pistols, and I could remove 2 of the 3 biggest complaints people had of them quicker than upgrading a glock shitty trigger. The thumb safety can just be ignored, which was the 3rd complaint,

It is easily removed on the "Security" line.

I will have to see how much they are on gun deals. I considered getting another sr9c, as they are great pistols, and my favorite carry gun. I might grab one of these and shoot the piss out of it and see how it does. I have never had issues with any of them except a p95 that took 2 pulls of the trigger to fire some steel cased  ammo.

So they took a concept, improved it, changed the styling, made it more reliable, produced them in greater numbers to increase availability, added features, and in a smaller frame?

Some clones get tons of positive attention (Tanfo, Canik), but Ruger is evil for modifying something that Kellgren chose not to patent?

I hate to break it to people but "browning action locking block" has been pretty much 75% of the pistol industry for quite a few years,  blow back has been 20%,  with the last 5% being novel or oddball designs (gas retarded blow back(HK p7, walther CCP) rotating block(CX9 bereta ), couple direct impingment gas blow back(desert eagle, and Webley from deathwish). I'm sure I'm being way to general but there hasn't been a "NEW" design for pistols in a while. striker fired was a pretty novel idea back in 1980, but that was nearly 40 years. any  significant improvements since then, refinements(standard rail sizes, abdidextrious stuff, size lines with mags swappable (glock 26, 19 17), safety triggers)  but no groundbreaking stuff?

Or better yet, a pmr30 improvement that doesn't have 20 or so Chinese sourced screws holding it together.

If ria did one, the hammer would snap off shortly into the second magazine.
All the fcg holes would be in some asshole metric size.
You would be forced to purchase oversized forged parts to fix their junk and the grips would never fit right.

I had a chance to attend an organized youth/beginner shooting class as a volunteer instructor. Ruger Security 9s and ammo were provided by the venue. Easily one of the worst handguns I’ve ever had the pleasure of trying. Terrible trigger. Difficult and gritty to rack. The slide stop was extremely hard to drop.

After about 30 minutes minutes during a break, another volunteer instructor and I went to our vehicles and got our car-guns. Both were bone stock Glock 19s with weapon lights...

We spent the rest of the time using our own Glocks to loan out during training.

This is exactly the opposite of my experience with the S-9.  Fit and finish is on par with any other polymer gun, no problems with the slide or internals. The trigger is as good as most, and better than some contemporary striker triggers.

I'm planning on getting a Compact if I see one locally and can put my hands on it first.

I traded my Security-9 but not because it totally sucked.  The trigger is far better than a stock Glock and it ran 100%.  Not as accurate as my Glocks but it’s not a bad pistol.  Feels the same as any poly gun.

I concur. I tried out the Ruger Security-9 during a demo day at big gun shop that has it's own range. I almost bought one right on the spot I was so impressed. The introductory price was $299, I almost did it but decided to buy some ammo instead.

Well, bought one today.
It should compliment my regular Security 9 and SR9e well.
This thing does smell like old school brake free clp, the kind wiff teflon in it.
Really the only thing to bitch about so far is I'm thinking about slapping the frame in the mill and taking off the warnings.
I hates warnings although these are tiny in comparison to when Bill used to full RETARD them on Rugers.

And the Block guy is full of shiet.
I own a couple of those too.

I bought a Security 9 full size a few months back. The trigger is not bad.  I like it.  The sights are highly visible and interchange with different colors Ruger sells.
I have probably fired 500 rounds of all kinds with not one problem.
No brass to face, no weak ejection, nothing.
Only two complaints I have are it feels a little nose heavy and spare magazines are atrocious in price. I like it better than my SD9VE.
It is more than accurate for self defense.
