The Ruger Security-380 – Model 3846 is built for carry confidence, ease of use, and enhanced capacity, now offered in a striking black-and-gold finish. Featuring a 3.42-inch barrel, textured black polymer frame, and gold-finished slide components, this pistol brings style and function together in a lightweight defensive package.
Chambered in .380 ACP, this model uses Ruger’s Lite Rack® system with easy slide manipulation, making it ideal for shooters who prefer reduced recoil and lower slide resistance. With a 15+1 round capacity, it outperforms many competitors in the compact .380 category while maintaining a manageable profile for concealed carry.
A secure-action trigger, manual safety, loaded chamber indicator, and reversible magazine release round out the control features. Whether you’re new to shooting or just want a softer-shooting carry gun, the Security-380 Gold Edition checks every box.
