  2. FOREVERSHEYLA on April 27, 2023 at 3:47 am

    Very nice gun



  3. GiveAway Tim // on April 27, 2023 at 3:47 am

    Can you rack the slide while the gun is in safety .



  4. Hue Manatie on April 27, 2023 at 3:48 am

    Pretty slick how it comes apart. Is it available in California?



  5. marzyble on April 27, 2023 at 3:48 am

    complained about stupid stuff that don’t matter

    Just bought the Ruger American 9mm. Can’t wait to being it out to the range next week. Thank you for your honest opinion and straight forward review. I learned a little bit more about this gun. 👍

    Little bit of riggle room

    No biggie to need a tool for the backstraps…not like you’ll be changing them out once you get the right size there others just sit! Lol



  9. Rich Dubbya on April 27, 2023 at 3:54 am

    How is the size of this for concealed carry? Specs make it look small but by looking at it on videos it looks huge. I haven’t seen one in person yet



  10. Danny Henson on April 27, 2023 at 3:55 am

    They had a hard time finder the S/N when i bought mine lol



  11. Brandon Jacobs on April 27, 2023 at 3:55 am

    I recently purchased one and when I disassembled and cleaned it out it back together but now ammo won’t feed all the way it gets stuck any help you can give



  12. Bill Veder on April 27, 2023 at 3:56 am

    I bought the Ruger American 9mm same exact gun. Friends, I cannot say enough good things about this handgun, I absolutely love it!!!!!! Incredible!!!! 3 different sets of interchangeable hand grips, integrated picatinny rail, (1) 12 rd mag (1) 17 rd mag, ambidextrous safety and mag release. Slide works amazing no break in, extremely well balanced. I enjoy this handgun over my Glock and my Beretta 92FS

  15. JP on April 27, 2023 at 3:57 am

    This was my first handgun. I love it. I just wish there were more holsters for it



  16. FordFracture on April 27, 2023 at 3:59 am

    its been 4 years now and do you still have it ? and do you still carry it ?



  17. Royal Gold Family on April 27, 2023 at 3:59 am

    Love how you look in the barrel I never have the balls to do it. Have looked twice thou bad thing is I wasn’t the one with the gun.



  18. Jeffrey Stayman on April 27, 2023 at 4:01 am

    My thoughts; "hey, free rubber band. cool."



  19. Subwoofer on April 27, 2023 at 4:01 am

    I remember getting the full size 45 and ended up not liking it for the primary reason it’s a heavy gun being Ruger designed these like tanks; built strong and meant for war. Between being a 45 and how heavy the gun is, you fell the kickback and it doesn’t play nice with you or forgive.

    I heard they are considering updating this pistol in the future. My hopes is they make the gun bit lighter in weight, maybe some better grips, and probably that would be it for me! They got a lot of things right with this pistol but I know me and a lo of people say the weight of the series even for compact tends to be a turn off and I have to admit compact still felt a bit heavy. The aftermarket value for this pistol is also a little on the transparent side, hopefully that’ll change more so people can customize their pistols a little more if they want.

    Overall though I do like the gun! Design wise I know some people think this Ruger made these "too busy" but I’m one of those that liked rugged guns! I think overall they preform well and functions like a charm!



  20. FordFracture on April 27, 2023 at 4:03 am

    So what is it 9mm,45,380 ? dude you suck 😒



  21. Aaron Addair on April 27, 2023 at 4:04 am

    Love it



  22. Brian Daniel on April 27, 2023 at 4:04 am

    Just picked this up yesterday🙂



  23. BROCHACHO on April 27, 2023 at 4:06 am

    I turned the lever down and tried to slide the slide off and it gets stuck on something to where the slide will not detach. I can pull the slide back to lock the lever I only put 50 rnds in this firearm. HELP PLEASE



  24. Ward Roland on April 27, 2023 at 4:09 am

    Hey GBG. Great job. Good info.



  25. eeyyaakk on April 27, 2023 at 4:10 am

    how does it compare to the SR9c? thank you



  26. Justin Jones on April 27, 2023 at 4:11 am

    The grips are labeled s,m,l on the top of the inside it’s kind of hard to see but its there



  27. Jame Brewington on April 27, 2023 at 4:12 am

    How much are they?



  28. darknature79 on April 27, 2023 at 4:14 am

    Just ordered the stainless steel guide for the firing pin from Galloway precision and it’s supposed to make the trigger a tad smoother and take over around 1lb off the pull.



  29. robert braun on April 27, 2023 at 4:14 am

    The higher capacity mag is 17 rnds, not 16 rnds as you said. The right slide lock/ release does not work on the gun i tried at the gun store. You should always test all controls and not assume that they work.



  30. R.B. Keisler on April 27, 2023 at 4:15 am

    Good review, enjoyed watching an appreciate the way you talk about the detail of the gun. Good job !



  31. Mr President on April 27, 2023 at 4:18 am

    The mag that holds 17 fits loose and makes noise



  32. Iron Head on April 27, 2023 at 4:20 am

    Trying to decide NANO, PPS, or this?



  33. Car Crashes on April 27, 2023 at 4:21 am

    Am I seeing a Single stack and a Double stack Mag?



  34. Five Aces on April 27, 2023 at 4:24 am

    Just got mine today. Haven’t fired it yet but seems like a high quality firearm. Can’t wait to for 100+ rounds down range!



  35. Ade Oredin on April 27, 2023 at 4:24 am

    They are labeled at the top of the changeable backs



  36. Keith Davis on April 27, 2023 at 4:24 am

    I got mine today I love it, little heavy but a great protector.



  37. Harding Dies on April 27, 2023 at 4:26 am

    Bought this Ruger American Compact for training in my Pistol Permit classes because of its size for both men and women and most importantly having fully ambidextrous controls – I’ve had both lefties and righties in previous classes and the lefties wanted something more comfortable to learn on – done. Will take to the range later this week after I clean and oil appropriately. This makes my 6th Ruger – because I’ve always had good performance with Ruger.



  38. frios011 on April 27, 2023 at 4:26 am

    YOU ARE EXACTLY WHAT I DON’T WANT TO BECOME…AN ASSHOLE!!!



  39. ひ†D on April 27, 2023 at 4:27 am

    Mines all black instead of the chrome part u got



  40. Tortillero 313 on April 27, 2023 at 4:29 am

    Can you rack the slide with the safety on?



  41. darknature79 on April 27, 2023 at 4:29 am

    I just traded a canik tp9sf elite for my american compact and couldnt be happier.
    The canik was still great and I’ll get another one cause it felt great and was a lil bigger and good for practice but AMRICAN RUGER,so what else is there to say lol.



  42. The Bruce Channel on April 27, 2023 at 4:31 am

    Love my Ruger American 9mm compact, had for 3 years now and it’s my everyday carry.



  43. Dinesh Yadav on April 27, 2023 at 4:32 am

  44. AZ DESERT RIDER on April 27, 2023 at 4:33 am

  45. Damion Fisher on April 27, 2023 at 4:34 am

  50. 889976889 on April 27, 2023 at 4:43 am

    Does this model only come in 9mm? Or do they have a serious with other calibers?
