The Ruger American Pistol is a full-size 9mm semi-automatic handgun with a 4.2-inch barrel, a 7.3-inch overall length and a 30-ounce weight. It holds 17 rounds plus one in the chamber and ships with two magazines. The polymer grip frame takes interchangeable small, medium and large grip modules, and the finish is blue and black with standard sights on the pistol.

This pistol is a practical fit for a shooter who wants a larger 9mm for range sessions and training, and the grip modules let the reach and palm swell be set to the hand. Novak LoMount Carry three-dot sights are part of the factory setup, and the ambidextrous slide stop and magazine release work for either hand. Tool-free takedown keeps routine cleaning simple, and the model is not optic ready, so the iron sights carry the sight picture.
