The Ruger American Compact 9mm (Model 8639) is purpose-built for concealed carry and personal defense with full-size firepower and modern features. This rugged pistol combines a 3.55″ stainless steel barrel with a nitride-coated slide and a modular grip system to fit your hand and your mission.
This model includes two magazine options—a flush-fitting 12+1 mag for better concealment and an extended 17+1 for added capacity and grip surface. The frame features an integrated Picatinny rail for weapon lights or lasers and an ergonomic, wraparound textured grip for confident control in any conditions.
Equipped with Ruger’s Secure Action™ system, it delivers a short, crisp trigger pull and fast reset. Its recoil-reducing barrel cam and low bore axis help manage muzzle rise and improve shot-to-shot speed. The ambidextrous manual safety adds flexibility for left- or right-handed users.
