Ruger, American, Compact, 9mm Pistol (8639)

Designed with the latest U.S. Military Standards in mind, the Ruger American Pistol is built to perform in the harshest conditions. A true American innovation, this pistol is a revolutionary platform for Ruger, one that combines a recoil-reducing barrel cam (which is designed to better spread recoil energy over time) with a low-mass slide, low center of gravity and low bore axis to provide an unparalleled shooting experience.

Pre-tensioned striker system features a powerful striker spring for positive ignition without a heavier trigger pull
Barrel cam distributes recoil forces over a longer period of time to reduce felt recoil
Modular wrap-around grip system for adjustment of palm swell and trigger reach to fit a wide range of hand sizes. Ergonomic grip modules lock in solidly and do not loosen
MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail acts as a mounting point for a wide variety of standard lights and lasers
