The Ruger American Compact in 9mm has a 3.55-inch barrel, a 6.65-inch overall length and a 28.7-ounce weight. It holds 17 rounds plus one and ships with two magazines, one 17-round and one 12-round. The frame is glass-filled nylon with interchangeable grip modules, and the finish is black nitride.

This configuration is set up for a buyer who wants a 9mm for concealed carry, which is the use the supplier describes for the design. The thumb-operated manual safety and the integrated trigger safety add controls, and the ambidextrous controls work for either hand. Novak LoMount Carry three-dot sights give a clear aiming reference, and the pistol is not optic ready, so the sights carry the sight picture. The set includes a 12-round magazine alongside the 17-round one, so the owner has two capacity options.
