The weight seems to be up and forward, which makes sense: that’s where much of the slide and all of the barrel are.
Those guns would go through several iterations before being completely replaced by Ruger’s SR-series of handguns. The P-series handguns were widely regarded as reliable performers, just a bit on the large and heavy side. By way of comparison, the higher capacity Glock 19 Gen4 weighs less than 24 ounces and the Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 Compact comes in at 25.9 ounces with a 15 round magazine.Īlthough the Ruger American pistols have a distinctly different look, the weights are reminiscent of the company’s P-series pistols from the 80s and 90s. For a compact 9mm pistol that makes ample use of polymer parts, I was expecting something 6-7 ounces lighter. Unloaded, the gun has a listed weight of nearly 29 ounces. The gun felt heavy and a subsequent check of the gun’s vital stats reinforced this belief. Picking up the gun for the first time, I was a little taken aback by its weight. The company includes grip module blocks with the gun to ensure the modules are not crushed inadvertently during storage. However, it may be a bit challenging the first time you try a different size.įor me, the small grip module worked the best and that’s the one I stuck with throughout this Ruger American Compact 9mm review. The grip will be sight to the frame, which is good for shooting. With the included Torx wrench, turn the screw 1/4 turn counter-clockwise. To change the grips, remove the gun’s slide assembly and find the Torx screw head recessed in the backstrap.
