Ruger American Pistol Competition 9mm Luger 5 in 17+1 Nitride Stainless

The Ruger American Pistol Competition is a 9mm Luger semi-auto competition handgun built for serious target shooters and range professionals, featuring a 5" stainless steel competition barrel with a 1:16" slow twist and ported, black nitride stainless slide that is drilled and tapped for popular red dot reflex optics and finished with top serrations to reduce glare; the optic-ready slide accepts MRDS footprints and the MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny mounting frame gives you room for lights or lasers for duty or practical shooting scenarios. With a 17+1 capacity, pre-tensioned striker system for reliable ignition, a barrel cam to soften felt recoil, and performance testing with sustained +P ammunition, this competition-sized Ruger delivers consistent accuracy and follow-up shots in USPSA-style stages, training sessions, or precision drills. The modular wrap-around grip system includes small, medium and large modules to tailor palm swell and trigger reach, while aggressive texture, front and rear slide serrations, ambidextrous slide stop and magazine release, integrated trigger safety, internal automatic sear block, inspection port and tool-free takedown round out a feature set aimed at competitors, instructors and serious range users; FFL transfer required.
