Gun Descriptions

Ruger Security 9

Compact for easy concealment, the mid-sized Security-9 is designed to fit a variety of available holsters and concealed carry options. Rugged construction with blued, through-hardened alloy steel slide and barrel and high-performance, glass-filled nylon grip frame. Precision machined, hard coated aluminum chassis with full-length guide rails. The Secure Action used in the LCP II and Security-9 is derived from the reliable and proven hammer-fired LCP fire control system. The Secure Action combines the smooth trigger pull of the LCP with the short, crisp feel and positive reset of a single action. Textured grip frame provides a secure and comfortable grip. Dovetailed, high-visibility sight system with drift adjustable rear sight and fixed front sight. Sights can be easily changed out for different color options (available separately). Internal, Secure Action hammer provides strong ignition force yet allows for easier slide racking when compared with many striker-fired pistols. Front cocking serrations enable positive slide manipulation. Safety features include bladed trigger safety; manual safety; neutrally balanced sear with significant engagement and strong spring tension; and hammer catch to help prevent the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. Safe, easy takedown with no special tools or trigger pull. Also includes: two alloy steel magazines.

Beretta APX Centurion

The APX Centurion pistol extends the proven APX Series to a concealed carry friendly mid-size, allowing for the end user to more easily IWB/AIWB carry the APX pistol. APX Centurion features a 15+1* (9MM) or 13+1* (.40S&W) flush fit magazine and can accept the full size APX magazines as well. Adapters available through the Beretta Pro Shop allow for the user to have a flush feeling full size magazine as well, allowing the pistol to have similar handling characteristics to the duty size pistol. As with the full size APX, the APX Centurion has been designed specifically for military and law enforcement users who have a need to carry concealed but want similar handling characteristics to their duty pistols. The APX Centurion features an end user removable serialized chassis and can be easily modified with replaceable grip frame housings and is simple to disassemble and maintain. Each APX Centurion comes with 3 interchangeable back straps so users can best fit their hands and preferences. The APXs aggressive slide serrations make slide manipulations easy under any conditions. To accommodate right or left-handed use, the APXs magazine release button can be easily reversed, and the slide stop is ambidextrous. The APX Centurions trigger breaks at 6lbs and has a clear tactile and audible very short reset. The APX truly is the ultimate striker fired pistol from Beretta. *Where legal. 10 round magazine SKUs available for restricted states. Caliber: 9mm Action: DA/SA Overall Length: 6.7" Overall Height: 5.2" Barrel Length: 3.7" Sight Radius: 6.3" Overall Width: 1.3" Grip Width: 1.3" Weight Unloaded: 22 oz Magazine Capacity: 15 Rounds
