The Compact Pro configuration delivers a carry-friendly size with a 3.5 in barrel while maintaining full-capacity capability thanks to the included 17-round magazine. The black nitride slide features rear serrations for positive manipulation, and the frame is made from glass-filled nylon for strength and reduced weight.
Factory Novak 3-dot sights are dovetailed, with a drift-adjustable rear for zeroing. Controls include ambidextrous slide stop levers and a push-button magazine release. The trigger uses a safety tab, and the slide is marked 'GUN WILL FIRE WITH MAGAZINE REMOVED,' indicating no magazine disconnect.
The pistol is built around Ruger's one-piece stainless-steel chassis/fire-control housing and a pre-tensioned striker system. Fieldstripping is tool-less via a rotating takedown lever, and no trigger pull is required. An integral 3-slot Picatinny accessory rail on the dust cover supports common weaponlight and accessory mounting.
