One of the best values in a domestically produced defensive handgun today, the Ruger Security-9 takes top billing in the Nov/Dec issue of American Handgunner.
The Security-9 sports plenty of features in its purpose-designed concealed carry size. It chambers 9mm Parabellum cartridges fed from 15-round box magazines, and has a neutrally balanced sear with substantial spring tension. Ultimately enabling easier slide-racking, the internal hammer is adapted from the Secure Action design of the Ruger LCP; ideal for the growing population of women shooters. Accurate, with manageable recoil and offered at a remarkable bargain price, the Security-9 is a solid self-defense option for everyday carry.
Will Dabbs, MD, lends, “Everything about the Security-9 is optimized for concealed carry and close combat. By balancing tactical features and a modest rounded chassis, the good folks at Ruger have hit the sweet spot between portability and function.”
When the deadliest shootout in FBI history occurred April 11, 1986, it changed the way tactics, training, mindset and equipment come together in complicated situations. In a special Handgunnerexclusive, retired agent Ed Mireles shares excerpts from his new book, FBI Miami Firefight, providing a suspenseful firsthand account of what happened that day and the lessons learned in its aftermath.
The issue’s Handgun Of The Month giveaway package contains a unique prize: A TIG Series ST9 Special Edition pistol named for John “Tig” Tiegen, a retired U.S. Marine and survivor of the Benghazi attacks. The 9mm sub-compact has a 4-inch barrel, Kryptek Typhon camo print on its polymer frame and is engraved with the TIG logo, signature and Beyond The Battlefield logo. The winner will also receive a Real Avid Pistol Tool and Bore Boss and a SureFire G2X flashlight. Readers are invited to enter the drawing for free by visiting www.americanhandgunner.com/giveaway
Also found inside the Nov/Dec issue, the Handgun Huntinginstallment recaps how Mark Hampton influenced the surprise Nosler Model 48 Custom Handgun. In The Sixgunner column, John Taffin explains why the .41 Magnum is a “true classic, alive and well.” And in Tactics & Training, Tiger McKee outlines the critical importance of moving in a dangerous situation — and why you have to practice.
