I can see places like Buds and PSA having them by mid '18 at $239, while LGS will run from $300 to full MSRP.

Seems like they should have just brought back the P95 that everyone loves instead of tooling up a whole new line.

If everyone loved the P95, they'd still be making it.
I predict the Security 9 will be a fantastic budget fighting pistol, and has all the benefits of being striker fired over the P95.

Ah... I see. I just read and yes you're correct. Also says it's based on the LCP hammer system.
I believe this gun is an evolution of the LC9, LCP & LCP 2. Ruger cloned the LC9 & LCP from Kel-Tec. I believe the LCP 2 is somewhat of an evolution of that although I have not really studied one closely as I don't want a .380. I believe the internals of the Security 9 probably have more in common with a Kel-Tec PF9 than with a Ruger P-series. I noticed on one of the reviews I watched it takes down like a Kel-Tec.

Did Ruger clone the LC or does the inventor now work for Ruger?

Do we know if magazines will interchange with any existing models?
I would be willing to try one out: I prefer a DA initial trigger pull...actually I prefer a DAO trigger pull, but I don’t think Ruger does that.

Ruger has always taken existing designs of others & tweaked & changed them slightly to make them their own. It is what they do.
According to the last review I posted (it didn't show up as a video,, it is just a link to a written article) it is 95% precocked by the slide the trigger cocks it the last 5% & releases the hammer.

In some cases, yes. In other cases, no.
You are correct they do not do this on every model but it is something they often do. I am not saying this gun is the exactly the same as a Kel-Tec but I strongly suspect they have many similarities in design & operation. FWIW I like Rugers there are 3 of them in the house.

That makes it sound like the H&K LEM trigger, which I like very much.

You say they "Often do" this but I bet you have no real examples. It is possible to say they did it with the LCP, though I have yet to see proof of this. Aside from the LCP, what other guns have Ruger "made their own"?
This new offering looks intriguing, though currently I would rather have the SR-9E.

A midsize gun to compete with the Glock 19 at half the price. I think you will find them at LGS for around $300 to $340
I never liked the load indicator on the SR9 and the American had two issues. one was the way the backstraps was held in place and the extra wide tail on the frame. Looks like Ruger paid attention to some of their customer complaints.
You do have to say that Ruger has been trying hard to deliver what the customer wants, unlike Remington.

It also makes it a bit thinner, I'm guessing; and if a cartridge rim can be used to pull the pin, it's not any real inconvenience; many military firearms operated on that model for years.

I so wanted to like the American. The wide bevertail just did it in for me. It was downright painful to shoot. I can shoot a micro .380 or light .357 snub all day long, but I would be wincing and flinching after a couple of mags of standard pressure .45 through the RAP.
I'm looking forward to handling one in the coming months.

I don't care for the exaggerated flair nor the flatness of the tang. The grip literally ends at a right angle and makes shooting with high thumbs feel odd. At least that's been my experience.
Otherwise I think the American is a good gun. Accurate and reliable. A little heavy maybe but none of the issues are things that couldn't be fixed with a Gen2.
Ruger's strategy these days seems to be to continuously roll out new products. It probably works for them business-wise. They do product launches better than anyone else. But it must generate a lot of overhead in development costs.
As a consumer, I prefer some stability to build the aftermarket support in holsters, parts, knowledgeable smiths, sights, etc. This is the part of Glock's business model that works.

Its gonna take something pretty good to move me from my sr9c.
I have a three tier carry philosophy:
LCP >>SR9C>>SR1911C
Then it goes to SR556......

Another Ruger product that I couldn't possibly be less interested in. Par for the course these days. It's like an even more unsightly version of the RP9 with styling cues from the equally hideous Five-seveN. It's as though a bunch of manufacturers suddenly decided they couldn't allow Glocks to be the ugliest pistols anymore. I don't get it.
