The Security 9 is Ruger's compact 9mm, aimed at everyday carry and home defence. Its rear sight sits in a dovetail, and two makers offer mounts that use it to hold a red dot.
EGW or Outer Impact
EGW's mount takes optics on the Trijicon RMR footprint only. Outer Impact's type C is wider in scope, also accepting C-More RTS and Docter pattern dots. If your optic is an RMR pattern model, either will do; for an RTS or Docter base, choose Outer Impact.
Why a dot on a carry gun
A dot lets you keep your focus on the target rather than on the sights, which many carriers find faster under pressure.
Shared traits
Both are CNC machined aluminium, made in the USA, and fit the standard Security 9 with no milling.

Frequently asked questions
Will a dot fit in a carry holster?
You will need a holster cut for an optic.
Can I keep a backup iron sight?
Not the rear; it has to come out to make room for the mount.
