Great video. It's amazing how the 75th anniversary edition is like a top secret pistol. Not many videos on it, also it's not listed on many websites. Thank you for your efforts. I had to search to find my 75th anniversary edition, and like you said, the price is right! I put the Armalaser TR39G green laser on mine. Not much information or videos on that either. Note: this may help others. If you purchase a 2 pack, the Magazines are a better buy. I picked up a two pack 12r for $49.99 at the Magshack. They also have the 10r two packs. Thanks again.
I just got the Galloway Precision turnkey kit and OH BOY it makes me enjoy this gun a lot more. There's a few springs to swap, a new trigger, and some nice rubber grips for about $100. Only 100 rounds through it since I did all the upgrades last weekend, but i'm happy with it. I was shooting terribly low with this gun even after practicing quite a bit but that helped with the accuracy too.
Good review… thank you! I’m not sure that I would recommend it for folks that are recoil sensitive, but it definitely has significantly less recoil than the LCP II, which is painful to shoot. Galco has a good rawhide holster on Amazon,but I recently moved to a trigger cover that I would have to remove first. I feel better that it won’t come off inadvertently, but will be slower to ready my firearm. Blessings!
Thanks for the review brother-man. I just ordered the 75th Anniversary Lcp Max.. paid about $300 out the door. I have an LCP 2 that I've pocket carried with the Ruger supplied holster for nearly 4 years. I checked a few minutes ago.. and even though the holster is somewhat more flexible than when it was new.. I couldn't get the trigger pulled back far enough to fire.. no matter how hard I tried. I do have a DeSantis holster for another pistol. Anyway.. I'm looking forward to getting the new max.. and hope I don't have any magazine issues.
I have issues on both of my (wife & I) 75th Anniversary Editions LCPs with reliability when I load a full magazine with one in the chamber. I have several magazines (10 & 12 rounds) and some are more reliable than the others but not even close to 100%. Love my DeSantis Gunhide 03 pocket holster. Wive uses a Gazelle holster no longer available. Great review! Thank you.
What's the issue exactly on yours. I got the 75th aswell shot 50 rounds and around 20 loose self defense ammo, ran flawless. I would like to know you're issue as a heads up
@@ghosthunter7775 thank you for your reply. On both guns if I load a full magazine (except for 1 ten round magazine out of 5 10/12 round magazines) with one in the chamber the gun will shoot BUT the slide won’t cycle correctly as to eject the empty case and load a new round. This magazine will function correctly 8 out ten times will the others will work 3-4 times out of 10 times. Again this only happens when I load the plus (extra) round with a full magazine.
Does yours have a foot of drop at 50ft? Never in my life have I seen such a drop at such a short distance. Sold the pos after trying to figure it out and seeing many reports of this. Defective. Switched back to the normal lcp and had zero issues again, and only an inch or two of drop, mainly due to me yanking the trigger.
Yeah I believe that’s the biggest thing. No holster. Heck I see people with Glock 19’s crammed in their belt/pants without a holster because, well people are idiots and I’m surrounded by them. Thanks for watching
Thanks brother! It's great to have a true shooter give a detailed review! Touching on every detail I want to know and today so many guns and all have some trouble. That's what we all need to know and see! Thanks for your hard work brother!
Your Sig may well be a better gun, but I can buy two of the Rugers for the price of one of the Sigs. I agree with you about the pocket holster that comes with the gun (I just bought one), but I have a DeSantis holster for a snubbie .38 I no longer own, and the Max fits in it perfectly.
Nice review. You ran through alot of the questions would be buyers would have and showed the technical stuff like trigger break and reset, stippling on the grips and etc. The magazine issues are a question though I guess. I will say that having a perfect trigger doesnt matter on this class of pistol. It has a solid one from what you showed though. It seems that the lcp max is a solid purchase regardless of the nuances. Peace brother

I just picked up a new LCP Max - Not the 75th Anniversary Edition, just the basic black slide (and I over-paid $50 by buying at Cabela's, but my local gun shop didn't have it and I didn't feel like waiting to order it fro them). Like I say, I paid $480, but if I'd ordered it from my gun shop, it would have been only $426. It feels good in the hand, with the 10 rd mag or the 12 rd. I'm curious to see how it shoots, or how I shoot IT. I just really wanted a pocket pistol that wasn't a .32 ACP.
Right mine was a good $150 cheaper but I had to buy a $50 mag because it only came with one. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
I have pocket carried my lcp with a kydex trigger guard that can be attached to a belt loop so it pulls off when you draw. The whole thing fits inside a soft sticky holster. Comfortable and safe in my opinion. Nice thorough review.
If it shoots low, wouldn't the simplest fix be to just set the middle dot a little bit above the rear sight posts, rather than even with them, when aiming?
@@GSquaredTactical I handled a Max 75th Anniversary edition pistol today at one of our local gun shops. It was listed at $339.00 with the standard black Ruger LCP Max listing at $419.00. The slide serrations on the stainless steel Max anniversary were pretty much razor sharp and that by itself was a deal breaker. There is no reason for Ruger to have shipped these out without taking a minute or two with a buffing wheel and compound to round off those sharp edges. I've had and carried a Ruger LCP gen 2 .380 for years and always liked the platform I've been turned off from the Max buy the price.
Yeah they are a little pricey. I was fortunate to get out the door for $301 with tax on this one. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Absolutely every LCP I’ve ever carried except the LCP1 became a rust bucket in my pocket. Thanks another reason I choose the P938. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
I don't have a 12 round but I did buy the 2 pack of 10 rounds and they were $43 and seem to be better than the Ruger mags. I have heard that Ruger subbed out the manufacture to Mecar Italy. I'd have never bought the LCP Max 75th if I hadn't seen it for $259 new. I found the Ruger LC9 EC was $259 also and a spare 10rd mac for the 9EC was $28. I actually think the Keltec P3AT was better than first gen Rugers. I do like the LCP Max, but if I only had one pistol, it wouldn't be it.
@@GSquaredTactical The LCP Max while not inaccurate, shoots way low. The factory Ruger magazine will not activate the last round hold open, while the two pack magazines (Ruger branded) did. I wouldn't buy a load of spring kits to improve a Ruger LCP Max but I would buy a $15 rear sight that was about 1/16th of an inch taller. The LCP Max has something to recommend it, magazine capacity. I shoot target with the same ammo I carry which is the Sinter Fire NXG 70gr lead free flat point ball ammunition which performs pretty well in gel or against car bodies and does what it does practically every time with mild recoil. If I could only have one pistol, to do absolutely everything with it would probably be a 1911 or Glock in 10mm and it would go in the gym bag rather than gym shorts.
I've been pocket carrying my wife's LCP II in 22LR for a few days. I like it so well that I am looking for an LCP Max to call my own. (She wants her LCPII back. Thanks for the review sir!
Great review, I think the bottom line is you get what you pay for but then again for someone on a tight budget who doesn't shoot a lot it may be ok. You shot the gun and gave your honest opinion...well done.
It’s like this…if all you can afford is $300 and you need a purse gun or small pistol for some reason then absolutely I trust the gun and its ability to perform. I’m just not so sure I trust the ability of the one carrying it because the gun can prove to be difficult for someone who doesn’t shoot a lot. The contrast to that I’ve given almost everyone I know and some random folks at the range my P938 and it behaves and shoots like any full size gun they’ve shot and it’s a 9mm. Thanks for watching bud and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
@@jpconard I do not have either of those guns. My Ruger MAX does have a strong recoil. I can shoot my 9mm Smith & Wesen Shield plus much better. Hope that helps.

Good grief that’s ridiculous. Did you see it missing when you looked at it in the store?
