Ruger Security 380 first shots.


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

       Since old Author has moved into my shoulders, I had to start wondering about my arm strength.  OK, that was my excuse to purchase the Ruger Security 380.  After finally getting the sights zeroed in, I took it out and ran a few hundred rounds through it. It was so much fun to shoot that I ran a hundred more.  What fun!  I shot at 10 yards and was very impressed with the accuracy, even though the rear sight is black, which I placed a white dot under the slot to make acquisition faster. The front sight is the day-glow green.  The slide racks very easy and even though it is about as big as a Glock 19 it is much lighter, and the grip is smaller. The take down for field stripping is typical Ruger stupid.  If you have a little Ruger pistol you know what I mean. (Not trying to bash Ruger, I'm a big fan).  I have to remind myself that this is a $300 pistol and they had to cut corners somewhere.  You need a small screw driver to pop out the takedown pin.  That doesn't affect the way it shoots though.  

     So now I have a 380 the size of a 9mm, with smaller, less powerful rounds that cost twice as much........I be cool with that.  I would recommend this pistol. It will unleash a 15-round barrage of the mighty 9mm Kurz, fast and accurately with minimal recoil.

I got one for the wife and she likes it.  Her arm strength isn't great either but the slide action is very manageable.  No grip safety like the S&W EZ, so that's another benefit.  Besides filling her in on all the brand politics, I'm gonna shut up and let her enjoy it.

Glad it works for you.  Your story was entertaining.  Hey, we all get old.
