The summer special is a classic and definitely comfortable and that is what makes it beautiful to me. Function over form.
Unfortunately it look like Sparks has a waiting list according to their website.
I'm partial to paddle type holsters for easy on easy off convenience.
The Safariland was about the only polymer paddle that didn't cost close to the same as the pistol that I found at the time.
I got my third one only a few months back. A coworker impulsively bought one. "Shot two magazines full through it and hate it."
"The grip was rough on his hand. Should have stuck with the XD Service Model like he already had."
I fixed him up with one of my XD's and brought it home. I also ordered another Safariland.
Regardless of the low price tag I really like the weapon. I also like the fact the default setup Ruger PC 9 shares the same mags, up to 17+1 available.
I hope you enjoy your Security 9 as much as I do mine, Merry Christmas!
