I've read a number of different reviews and there's been more than I like about this gun not being good for a left handed shooter. What is the word here about that?

Hi Michael and welcome. No issues with my wife and daughter. It just took some time for them getting use to the right-hand controls : https://ruger-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/_manuals/security380.pdf ----------------- Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Can this be a pocket pistol with the right holister

Hi Charles and welcome. Likely not due to it's thicker/heavier double stack nature. The LCP Max would be the better pocket carry model with the right ammunition that is optimized for shorter barrels : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/138984/ruger+lcp+max+.380+blued+2.75in.+10rd ----------------------------------- https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/56780/hornady+critical+defense+.380+acp+90gr+ftx+25rd+box -------- Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Hi Charles, I would say it's a bit large for pocket carry at 6.5". If you are comfortable pocket carrying a gun with no manual safety, the LCP Max is just over 5" long and 4" tall https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/138984/ruger+lcp+max+.380+blued+2.75in.+10rd , Stay safe & have a great day!

Can this gun take a 15 round magazine?

Hi Jonathan and welcome. Yes Sir, it can without issue. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/151758/mag+security+380+black+15rd+2pk ------ Cheers and stay safe!

yes it will work just fine with the 15 round magazines the 10 round mags are the same size as the 15 but have been modified so they only hold 10 rounds for sale in restricted states https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/151758/mag+security+380+black+15rd+2pk

Hi Jonathon, yes sir, 15rd magazines here https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/151758/mag+security+380+black+15rd+2pk , Or 15rd model here https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/151753/ruger+sec-380+.380+acp+3.42+15rd+black , Stay safe & have a great day!

Does the security .380 come optics ready?

Hi Tony and welcome. Not this model. Galloway Precision does provide a solution : https://gallowayprecision.com/optic-mount-plate-for-ruger-security-380-pistols - Cheers and stay safe!

This model's slide is not cut for optics. As Tom mentioned, there are dovetail adapters but I'd rather just get the slide milled for an optic if there's room, not sure that would be the case with this Ruger security model.

No. There are adaptor plates that fit in the groove where the rear sight is to mount red dots on.

Ruger Security-380, Double Action, Semi-automatic, Polymer Frame Pistol, Compact, 380 ACP, 3.42" Barrel, Black Oxide Finish, Fiber Optic Front and Drift Adjustable Rear Sights, Manual Safety and Integrated Trigger Safety, 10 Rounds, 2 Magazines 03855

Ruger is proud to introduce the newest addition to its Lite Rack™ family of pistols, the Security-380™. Chambered in .380 Auto, the Security-380 is full-featured, ideally sized, modestly priced, and designed for hours of range training with minimal fatigue. The combination of easy-to-use features and reduced felt recoil will help recoil-sensitive shooters build skill and confidence at the range, and its lightweight and compact size makes it comfortable for all day carry. The Lite Rack™ system includes refined slide serrations, pronounced cocking ears and a lighter recoil spring, allowing for easy slide manipulation. Combined with low-recoiling .380 ammunition, it is the ideal pistol for training and practice. The pistol ships with two, steel 10-Rd magazines and incorporates a lightweight slide with a fiber optic front sight and drift adjustable steel rear sight.

Great little firearm. I normally don't like smaller framed guns due to the size of my hand. But this one fits my hand great. I'm waiting on a pocket holster to arrive, I think it may be a touch too big for the pocket, but time will tell!

This little guy has been an excellent pistol shoot straight. The light rack is great. I got bad arthritis in my hands so it helps with coughing it back. I have no complaints and like I said before I’ve never had no issues with buds. It’s been great so far.

Bud’s shipped the pistol out the day after I purchased it and then I had to wait 15 days to receive it do to Washington’s ridiculous new waiting period laws ( I have my concealed carry permit ) . Took it apart but didn’t it did not need to be cleaned or oiled as it had a light coating. Went to the range and shot four different brands of ammunition, 2 types of defensive and 2 target for a total of 200 rounds with no issues. Bought this for my wife and she shot it very well, way better than she shoots any of my 9 mms.

Love this Gun! But, will never buy another gun from Bud’s! Was treated like dirt when I needed! After many years and many guns, never again will I use Bud’s! I’d rather pay more than to have to deal with anybody there!
