Fifteen rounds of .380 Auto in a compact frame. The Ruger Security-380 is the highest-capacity .380 on the market, matching what most 9mm compacts carry. At 19.7 oz and 6.52" overall, it is built around a hammer-fired Secure Action trigger with a 4.5 lb pull, the lightest in the .380 compact class. The internal hammer design gives it a consistent pull every time, and Ruger added both an integrated trigger safety and an external manual safety for people who want a second layer.

The extra weight compared to pocket .380s like the Sig P365-380 (15.7 oz) and the S&W Bodyguard 2.0 (9.8 oz) is the trade you make for 15 rounds and manageable recoil. Owners report the Security-380 shoots flat for a .380, which makes sense given the mass. The fiber optic front sight is a genuine upgrade over the basic white dots most .380s ship with, and the accessory rail accepts lights if this pulls nightstand duty. The 3.42" barrel is shorter than the Beretta 80X Cheetah's 3.9" barrel, but you get nearly the same overall length (6.52" vs 6.8") in a gun that weighs 5.3 oz less.

Ruger originally built the Security line in 9mm, and the Security-380 borrows that platform's ergonomics and sight setup while chambering a softer-recoiling cartridge. This made it an immediate hit with shooters who wanted full-size capacity and handling in a lighter-recoiling package. For anyone who has struggled with 9mm snap in a compact gun, the Security-380 delivers familiar magazine capacity with noticeably less wrist fatigue.
