  • The Ruger LCP Max takes the LCP line to another level. 10 to 12 round capacity and yet only slightly larger. Lots of design improvements as well. Big thanks to Ruger and Fiocchi USA for their help.

    My LCP was jamming so I sent it back to Ruger and then they "fixed" it and sent it back. Shortly after it started jamming again so again contacted Ruger. They call me back and let me know they're going to send me a replacement. They sent me a LCP Max! Im excited to shoot it. Ruger really knows how to take care of their customers 🤗

      So, did your Max jam, too? Mine has already been back one time and they said it was fired X-number of times "with no malfunctions". Yeah, right! Still jams as bad as the day I sent it in. Ruger customer service and quality control is nothing like it was 30 or more years ago.

    I used to travel a lot for work which lead to me being out late. My husband wanted me to start carrying something outside of my bedazzled pepper spray for protection so we purchased the LCP Max (in Tiffany blue, of course). Thankfully I've never had to pull the trigger outside of a few practice shots to make sure I know how to use it but it's been perfect for the peace of mind it's provided. Super convienent to use and store.

Now ppl want the G43 (the original version) to have this same style of truncated mags that allow more capacity...crickets. shield arms makes a magazine for the G43X that's based on that same design idea and takes your capacity from 10rds to 15rds. By that math, they (shield arms) could make a 11/12rd magazine for the G43 just by doing the same thing they did for G43X mags...Glock? Crickets. If I didn't have so much invested in the G19/G26 platforms (as the G26 is interchangeable with G19 parts/holsters/backup mags/etc) between my winter/summer carry options...I'd have left glock long ago. As it stands Now, I don't see myself going any other direction. But, again, it isn't for lack of desire to move toward these new micro 9's & .380's...I'm just heavily invested in the G19/G26 platform for carry. Hope Glock does something cool soon; because they're getting dusted in the world of innovation

I know these are very close, but that small difference between the LCP2 and the LCP Max in the 380 is paramount to being totally hidden and comfortable, especially while using the Recluse Holster! I really love the LCP Line and I hope Ruger continues to support it... The Only issue I ever had was reinstalling the return spring.... It can shoot that rod into eternity... LOL, When I put the Return spring and Rod back into the gun after cleaning I point the pin to myself so it does not get away from me..... Again! LOL! Great video, Enjoyed it. 2 Thumbs up!

      They could make the max as a .32 and it would hold 14 or 15 or more in the magazine. The keltec holds 7 of .32 and 6 of the .380. So the 12 round .380 would easily hold 14 of .32 maybe 15. Heck....ill test it in a few days. I wrote ruger to make the 1911. 45 and they did ...i think my video i make will convince them to make it. Underwood .32 ammo is no joke at all. Super deadly.
