bit.ly/2CHLudt
The Ruger LCP is the go-to pocket pistol for a lot of people. The only problem was that it had a relatively low capacity.
Now Ruger has come out with the LCP max which boasts an impressive 10 rounds with just an incremental increase in size.

Ruger knocked it out of the park with this one. It's my pocket gun at work. I'm a firefighter so technically I'm not allowed to carry on duty, but the world we live in now, I will take my chances
Damn they dont let you carry? Thats ridiculous you guys are always going dangerous places.
I don’t blame you for wanting to feel safer at work.
Thank you for your service, firefighting ain’t easy 🙌🏻.
@L06907 you know they dont just put fires out
@@mxfreaks yes but it protects me on medical calls that have no police on scene of domestic situations
Godspeed brotha ⚡️
I love the micro pocket ones, makes carrying that much easier. A wise man once said, a small gun you carry is better than the big one you left at home.
The lcp2 with better sights and more rounds.
I like that nuke....
Facts. I got my girlfriend an LCP 1 for Christmas and I’m jealous lol all I have for myself is a S&W .40 lol I love my gun but damn lol
yea but you live in Canada, do not even own a firearm and play too many video games where you think you got an understanding :)
@@WiseWarriorsPath2 born, raised, and live in the USA!
Anyone who is serious about 100% carry needs a gun like this. It completely invalidates all excuses to not carry due to wardrobe, weight, etc.
Says who...you...Ruger?!😂😂😂
I think there are way more advantages to go with a p365, Hellcat or Glock 43. These are much better ergonomics and you can actually practice with them.
@@johnstarr2326 uh, pretty sure I just said it.
@@daveonezero6258 and they are a lot bigger. The micro nines you mentioned are not actually pocket guns this is.
@@daveonezero6258 also to clarify I'm not saying that anybody should carry this as their primary gun.
Bought this for my wife when it first launched. Threw a talon grip on it and got the 12 round mag. Awesome little gun. She was complaining about her shield being to heavy when she goes for a run. It’s also not as snappy as you would think. He’s dead on about the recoil.
I put a talon over the keltec p3AT asphalt-textured grip, and electric shrink tubing over the trigger. Even small additions help "beef" it's grip out with these micros.
You have the purest, child like joy when you like a gun. That laugh 😂
It was fun to hear.
Aren’t we all like that tho? 🤷🏼♂️
@Pat B your comment is hereby invalidated.
I think the correct way to describe it would be "giddy" 😂
😂😂
At 10 ounces, this is a shootable pocket pistol, and the one you will have when you need it. Only a fool thinks a properly loaded 380 is a mouse gun. It is a close range life saving round. This is the pistol that can be carried concealed, comfortably and unnoticed, even with 1 or 2 spare rounds. This is the type of pistol that will save your life in a scenario when you desperately need it.
And it has rounded edges so it won't stuck if you try to pull it out of a clothes pocket. Carrying in a pocket is not the optimal option but sometimes is a needed feature. The goal of pistols like this is to be present when other guns wouldn't be able to.
I’ve carried a variety of small, concealable firearms throughout my life. I carried a NAA .22 mag everywhere I went when I was in college @ GA Tech. It was as easy to carry as a comb and no one ever knew it.
I shot a coiled up timber rattler that was right next to my cousin’s leg with that little .22 mag once and I hit it all 3X.
A gun can not help you if you are not carrying it.
I have the IC380 by Ideal Conceal. Has a belt clip, looks like a phone and has a spot for 4 extra rounds. Is a 2 shot but when carried i. The hand looks exactly like a cellphone
It has been my contention for a long time that the .380 (9 x 17 Kurz) was best for close range save your life use.
Honestly, after all the defensive firearm uses videos I've watched, you could have a prop gun that cycles blanks and it'd deter 95% of assaults. I wouldn't advise it, but bad guys run when they gear gun shots back
All these little LCPs are great especially the MAX, everyone should have one, for like $350 you get a gun so easy to conceal it feels like cheating.
Does it easily fit in a pocket? The LCP 2 was smaller.
@@MrGriff305 its a hair thicker and and a few tenths of an inch taller, that's it. fits in a pocket easy so long as they're not really tight pants.
@@lawlzorz17 Thank you. I have mine ordered and will pick up this week from Bass Pro Shops. My first pocket carry.. Looks like a great gun
I had the lcp2 and max side by side. The max is going to weigh considerably more then the lcp2 fully loaded.
I picked the lcp2 purely because my intention was finding the smallest magazine fed pocket Saturday night special and the lcp2 Max is honestly not in the same league print wise as the lcp2 is.
I have a Glock 43; too hard to carry, especially when I don’t wear stuff with belts!! I’ve looked into different holsters; I’ve decided to leave that one at home; looking into to buying an LCP!!! 👍
Got the LCP MAX a month or so ago. Great reliability & conceal ability. Carried the LCP I for 6+ years. This is the new carry for me. Many improvements over the LCP I. Thanks Colion.
I'm 7 weeks post op from a complete rotator cuff tear. All my rigs are right handed. Well I can't use my right arm for 8 months. So this is the gun I went out and bought. Sooooo easy to work with left hand manipulation. 11 rounds of 380 in my pocket is better than absolutely nothing. Different tools for different jobs and circumstances that life throws at you.
So you are right handed I assume. If you can just switch to your left hand and use this tiny gun, you are better than I will ever be. Can you just naturally fire a gun proficiently with either hand?
@@pcmountaindog lol I have shot pistols with both hands for 20+ year's. I've practiced that way in training for this very reason. My dad always said you never know when you will lose the ability with one arm or the other. I'm a much better shot with my right naturally. But I can more than hold my own with my left. I can even shoot long guns on either side.
@@nathanstrickland8692 it's long guns that I struggle doing this with. Something about using that side of my body for the rifles makes me feel off.
@@johnsmith-oh9is couldn't agree with you more. I have the same feelings. I can do it. But it takes MUCH longer to get the shot off. With a pistol, it much easier. I really don't think about it at all with a pistol. My dad always said. Aiming with I pistol is no different than pointing at something with you opposite finger. For some reason that always made since to me and I never gave it a second thought. Funny how little things like that stick in your brain. Lol
@@nathanstrickland8692 with my 1911 I use my wrist and forearm to line up. I watched some WW2 training videos one day when I was bored and it really changed how I shoot it.
A well spoken and educated brother who enjoys firearms is cool. Thanks for bring us all your well narrated and filmed videos!!! Alot of people doesn't know that Mr.Colion Noir is actually an Attorney.
I love this guy. Nice to have an incredibly intelligent, articulate man to defend our 2nd Amendment rights. I also love this gun. I hadn't thought about owning a .380 for myself...although I bought the wife a S&W 380 EZ because she has arthritis in her hands...but now I'm thinking, why not? If it's affordable for me, why not? Can you have too many pistols? I think not.
He doesn’t defend our rights, he defends big companies like big daddy unlimited that pays him money though. I used to like this guy but when he defended BDU because they supported a gun buy back with the police I realized he is a shill.
Use Underwood Extreme Defense .380 ammo and it is almost effective as any 9mm
Colion is SO happy when he's shooting.
Biden said something like that about Obama. I like Colin’s channel, too.
@@ukestudio3002 theyre both previously lawyers
I traded my LCP II for a Max. Doubling the mag capacity was a no brainer. The fact they did it without making it appreciably bigger still astounds me.
Lol nice word
copied Sig
Watching you smile after running a magazine makes me smile! I've been a Ruger fan for several years...maybe this might be a new one for me! I could use a reason to smile lately! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Well done, Colion!
I love your enthusiasm about this gun. I traded my LCP (1st version) for the MAX a couple months ago. The MAX with its sights and 10 or 12 round magazine makes this pistol top of 380 offerings. Great tool to have in the toolbox!
THIS is not a gun you take to the range to shoot for fun.WHAT IT IS, a keep in your pocket ALWAYS protection gun....you only shoot it once in a while to keep your "readiness" up
I love this little gun. It's my EDC and stays in my pocket all the time. I'm not supposed to have a firearm at work, so even a subcompact was too big to confidently conceal. This little thing stays in my pocket, out of sight and out of mind. It's nice to shoot and fits comfortably in my hands. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to have confidence in their firearm and their concealment. You can comfortably shoot a ton of rounds through it at a time and concealing it, and its 11 rounds is a breeze!
I'm your boss and you are FIRED for bringing a gun to work against company policy!!
Please edit the job part out 😳

@@donaldmckesson5450
I don’t care. Tell that to the tens of thousands of office workers harmed by coworkers with weapons.
I couldn't bring myself to carry a .380. I use the SIG P365 in 9mm in a De Santis hoster in the right front pocket. The best way to know if I am carrying it is to check if I have pants on.
@@ev3dale298 That scenario literally happened to me. My 365xl takedown lever bar to trigger area had a small piece of metal break and now I'm looking at the LCP Max for a pocket pistol in the mean time.
This is currently my favorite pocket pistol, I carry it with a 12-round magazine loaded with Hornady Critical Defense ammo.
I've noticed that Ruger has a strange ability to fit more rounds in their magazines than most manufacturers on guns of similar sizes.
You are right bro. I think Sig is a close second. You'd love the Sig 365.
@@shannonstewart4792 yes, my Sig surprises people. I agree, Sig is a close second on capacity.
Are Ruger magazines any good, functionally speaking?
@@BigWheel. Not the most serious shooter here, but I haven't had any issues with the LCP II (not the Max) .380 six round mag after maybe 1,000 rounds. I hear the aftermarket (extended) mags by other brands have mixed reviews regarding reliability.
I bought one a few weeks ago to replace my lcp2, it’s pretty close to the same gun but just feels 100x better
I have one of these, and it is as good as Colion says it is.
I have the max aswell and it's okay it not "amazing" like hes making it out to be. He clearly got paid to review it.
Lucky bastards

@@australiansarefree1586 and they'll give you IVM at the border. No jab needed.
I noticed that it doesn't lock back at times on the last shot. It happened to me on the ten rounder
after a while. So I tried my 12 rounder and it locked back.
I love my lcp2 for ccw. It's been a reliable gun. I think the larger capacity and bigger grip size seals the deal for me. I'm a big fan of Ruger.
I'm getting a little older, used to carry a 1911 Officers model...it's a bit much for me now, started looking for 9mm, loved, loved the Walther PPQ M2..but, it's a little bit large for what I'm looking for...looked at .380's....low capacity, fun as hell to shoot....I ordered my LCP Max two days ago. Finally, finally what I was looking for. 13 round capacity, pocket pistol for nothing but pure, close in, street defense head shots inside of 10 yards...can't wait to get this thing! Also ordered 3 12 rd mags, and a 100 rounds of Hornady 90gr FTX hollowpoints. If you're going to carry a .380 due your due diligence on self defense ammo types and capabilities. There are huge differences in penetration and shell expansion.
I absolutely love a majority of all Rugers. Also their customer service is next to none. You can't go wrong with them. They are our family's gun brand of choice. Sure they had a few duds, but not many. The SR line is my absolute favorite, a very underrated line of guns. Also their AR line for a budget rifle/pistol are phenomenal for the price range. I love Ruger firearms.
I'm a bit of a Ruger fanboy myself
I'm a big fan of the Ruger vaquero and blackhawk pistols and the redhawk 8 shot 357 mag revolver for edc isn't a bad option either
I have the LCP II and love it. I have big hands, and I had no trouble getting a good purchase on the gun, even if it was thin and small.. Purchased 3 of the extended 7 round magazines (solved the small issue, a little bit longer went a long way) and a Viridian Reactor instant-on laser and it was the perfect package. Once the laser was set, you couldn't miss at 25 yards, even hip shooting! It was video game easy to hit your target. But then the LCP MAX came out and what I thought was the perfect package... Wasn't. I still loved it, but once I held the LCP MAX, I knew. Bought one, and 3-12 round magazines, the Viridian laser fit perfect from the LCP II to the MAX. Went from carrying 21+1 rounds to 36+1 in the same thin, small magazine pouch and the same DeSantis holster that came with the Viridian. I wear the DeSantis between my waistband and my bet (inside the belt?) right side at 3:00-3:30, and the magazine pouch on my left side at 9:00, and no matter what shirt I wear, as long as it isn't tucked in, you truly cannot see it. It just doesn't print. And again, once the laser was set, it is video game easy to hit the target at 25 yards, with every single shot center mass. And Colion is absolutely right. I don't know what voodoo they did to this thing, but the recoil is negligible. It's not .22lr soft, but it's not much worse, and is SO SO EASY to manage. Staying on target for a follow up shot is laughingly easy, even with the laser off, but the laser truly makes it THE PERFECT self defense tool. Unless I am going to be somewhere that forbids me to carry on their premises, it is on me anytime I leave my house.
I love the LCP it's about the only .380 that I have left in my collection but I DEFINITELY need this
💯 Over the years I’ve tried other semi-auto pocket guns, but it wasn’t until the LCP2 that I found a keeper.
What about S&W bodyguard? or P365?
The convenience factor alone is what made me buy the LCP 2 but for the capacity you get compared to how hard it was to shoot being so small it wasn't worth it to me so I sold it... I've held one of these at a local gun shop and really considering picking one up. That little added thickness in the grip, real sights, and the added capacity makes this gun so much better. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
I went through a couple of compact 9s, a single stack Shield and the Glock 26, and different holsters, before I tried an LCP II with its little pocket holster. I love the little gun, and it’s almost always with me whereas the others were too troublesome to conceal wearing shorts, which is most of the year in Florida where I live. When I saw the LCP Max, I knew it would give me almost everything I was looking for in a C.C. gun.
I bought one and upgraded the trigger with a Galloway flat trigger, and it makes a world of difference, its now a very nice gun! also own the big brother Max -9
The LCP Max goes with me everywhere. It has fed everything I've put through it. Few hundred rounds into it now with no issues... It does have a weird ejection pattern. It does smack me in the head once in a while.
I call it the "gas station gun" The gun I grab when I'm running a quick errand and I don't feel like strapping up. My current one is the Kel tec P32. I'm seriously considering buying the LCP Max.
Mr. Breeze. I have to say that the gas station is the ONE PLACE FOR SURE that I am FULLY STRAPPED. LOL.
@@cannondaleman1 hell yeah only place you’re really vulnerable haha for a normal person
@@plasticbaggy For sure. Oh and I don't go into gas stations or convenience stores after dark. I leave those errands for 1:00 in the afternoon. Lol. If my car is not running out of gas I can fuel up tomorrow. Lol.
Thank you Colion. Your enthusiasm is contagious. I have the Ruger LCP II but as you said, this one has its advantages. Update, I picked up my LCP Max a couple days ago and love it~
That little giggle tells me that you are impressed with this new pocket pistol from Ruger. Thanks for the video.
I just picked up a Max yesterday at my local shop. For years, I carried the original LCP Gen 2, which has a shorter trigger pull. This Max has way less recoil, and is extremely comfortable too use for carry and extended shooting. It shoots a little low, but I can easily compensate for that. Its made to keep me and my family alive, not win competitions.
How do you like the Max a year later? Debating it...
@@paulcarlin5181 I really did like it, but found I shot the original LCP better, so I traded it for a 9mm full-size. In the time I had it, it never failed. It just didn't fit my hand well, so I kinda sucked with it. I put the Hogue grip on my original one, and now it shoots great.
@@tomhinklejr.5055 Good to know. I found the LCP for 229 locally and that is a great price to me for something I don't plan to use often like a range gun. Not sure its worth the extra funds for the Max since that one is not really a range gun either.
@@paulcarlin5181 I won't badmouth the Max, but just found the Original works better for me. If I think I'm going somewhere that I'll need more than 7 to 8 rounds, I won't go! But I will say the Hogue grip did make a huge difference in the comfort of shooting it, and it only cost $13.00. Also found my DESANTIS Slim-Tuck holster for the Max fits the original perfectly. It was designed too be a "Break-contact" gun, and thats how I train with it.
@@tomhinklejr.5055 BH A G 42 OR A LCP..?
I saw you on Fox News a few times and just recently stumbled upon your CZcams channel. I really appreciate your honesty with this LCP Max. I needed a nice little “get off me” gun but don’t like carrying a regular sized handgun. This thing is perfect. Thanks. Liked & subbed. 💯🇺🇸✌🏽
I just got that one and came right here to see your review. Love the genuine reaction when you like something about a gun. Can’t wait to test it out
Glad to know I'm not the only one who stays strapped even while getting my mail
No judgment but where do ya'll live where that feels like a necessity? I grew up a country/ suburbs dude (the rich part of Arkansas) but now live in a major US capital downtown.
@Michael Scheidle yeah Vegas can be wild as hell.
I have a Taurus TCP that I've owned for a long time it was always my "mail box gun" backup, or go to whenever needed a deep concealment gun and it's been great. When Ruger came out with this and I held it I knew I had to have it. Just like the TCP mine needed about a 150 break in but since then it's been absolutely perfect, I don't think it's going to replace my TCP 100% of the time but I really think Ruger hit a home run with this little high capacity pocket gun 🙂👍
Thanks for standing up for gun owners. I traded my walther creed and walther ppq m2 SC for the ruger security 9 and the ruger max 9. ruger is stepping up their game
His giggle sold me. That is pretty impressive to shock him into happiness like that.
*I started out with the LCP and for a couple years it was my EDC. yeah it wasn't "Great" not really even "good" but it was compact and easy to carry in my back pocket or Jacket pocket undetected. the trigger was a little stiff for my liking but everything else about the gun was perfect. I now have the LCP max and i've given my mother my original LCP so that she'll have something in the event that she needs it. my entire family are concealed carry permit holders (all but my 3 daughters) i chose to buy another LCP because the size is perfect and this one being a 10 round is perfect however i have ordered the 12 round magazine for it already too. the longer magazine will help me keep a third finger on the gun as it's shooting. i shoot a 7" group at 35 yards with it pulling up from the hip to ready, fire and i really missed my LCP while it's been with my mother so the max was just the next sensible option for me. no discomfort carrying it. no printing through my clothes, no one getting nervous and getting you kicked out of fast food places or libraries or the like because they are nervous and scared when they even see a gun. it's just the best portable option to go incognito and still be able to protect yourself*
Have heard some good things about Ruger. Got the Security-9 recently. It shoots flawlessly and smoothly. So far I like it. Will definitely be getting another Ruger in the future.
Other than Glock the Ruger is my favorite gun. Canik close third
Got this to use with my cycling jersey and my motorcycle jacket. I was also surprised at how nice it was to shoot, I remember my lcp 1 I had years ago sucking to shoot with the garbage sights and trigger.
Original LCP had light 9lb recoil springs, LCP2/Max come with 11lb springs hence the different feel. Also adding the Hogue grip to the original LCP makes a HUGE diff. Love the OG LCP with the grip and an 11lb spring
Love my lcp max, I sold my lcp 2 right after I bought this one. It’s my edc for work with a couple of the 12 rd mags.
Just picked one up as a backup piece...LOVE IT!!!
I got the itch out of NOWHERE for a .380 pocket pistol and this is looking more and more like a winner winner chicken dinner.
imma pick one up soon thanks too this video
Did the same..
I have no idea how/why you fell off my feed. Glad to see you back on it👍🏿
Thank you! I was about to get a .22LR. You have just changed my mind!
This is a awesome pocket gun , mag capacity you need , great sights, wonderful trigger . All around great consealed carry anytime, anywhere! 👍👍
I’ve been looking at this pistol for the first time ever in the past few days and all the sudden CN puts out a video. Thank the Lord for this!
Me too.
Bought one about 6 months ago and I love it. It’s not my primary carry but it fills a certain niche. I may get a second
I work at academy I got this gun because of this video and I'm in love with it
Solid review. I’d love to see his take on the smith and Wesson model 19 carry comp. It’s flashy enough that he’d forgive it for being a revolver!
Love your enthusiasm. I have the Lcp 2 and love it. But Due to your maniacal laugh I'm seriously going to upgrade to the LCP Max.... Seriously you got a lot of energy..
I have over 100 mostly high end pistols because I love the unique experiences each provides. I, like you, was impressed by the size of the LCP series but unimpressed by its shooting impressions, both accuracy and its recoil and shooting feel. When the Max came up I almost passed because how different could it be??
Well, as you know it’s night and day. This is shockingly fun to shoot and after my first 7 yard mag printed 1” groups amazingly accurate. I love your explanation! It is some kind of Voodoo magic shit, as it is as soft as my WCB MC9 (can’t believe I just compared those two but to be clear it is not nearly the same experience overall).
They say that you can only become proficient at shooting the guns you shoot which is a great axiom and the primary reason I would never carry the LCP. This one comes with me on most range trips and I already have 500 rounds of flawless shooting through it. The only downside is that it’s a pain in the ass to clean because it requires a tool but that is a small price to pay for this highly underrated shooter.

I bought the 12-round mags for mine, and it makes the recoil even more manageable. Very little, if any muzzle flip with the 12-round mags. Totally worth it.
I wouldn't use anything less than the 12 rnd
Dude, I love your videos and especially the actual range vids. You are honest and fresh.
Dear Mr. Noir,
After watching your review of the Ruger Max 9, I purchased the Pro model. I actually wanted the model with an external safety, but found a Pro model at a price I couldn't refuse. With a kydex holster that positively protects and covers the trigger, it is now my new EDC.
LOVE IT. It carries so discretely, I don't think my CZ 75 will be coming out of the gun safe for a long time.
A lot of people don't know (and it sort of defies the physics) that the grip(s) of a pistol or revolver have a lot to do with felt recoil. Larger grips don't change the recoil generated but they do alter your perception of it.
I'd assume because it's spreading the same force out over a larger area of your hand.
LMAO 🤣 THATS BASIC COMMON KNOWLEDGE 🤣
This is my grass cutting piece.
This is my rig for when I make dinner.
Oh yeah, my gotta do the groceries piece.
There ain't nobody like the NOIR.
Picked up the LCP about 2 years ago and I’m definitely getting my hands on one of these ASAP
I had recently purchased a S&W Bodyguard in .380, and am quite happy with it. Then I found the Ruger LCP Max, and was impressed with the capacity. So I bought it. Thanks for your video, it was nice to see how the pistol performs.
I love my LCP2 . I am thinking about getting the .22 version as well. Guess I will have to check out one of these also.
Been carrying for a month. It's not bad. Love the size and capacity
Thanks Colin, helped make my decision. Just bought it today, fits like a glove in my pocket
Absolutely love my Max got me the 12-round mag and carry it everywhere I go
The og Lcp was my first gun and still one of my go-to’s. I’m thinking about definitely giving this one a try
Original LCP is boss
Purchased one this week , agree with everything said in this video. This is a great upgrade from lcp 2 . Love the videos from Colin he completely does his research and is reliable and unbiased…
Thanks, Colion. Bought the LCP Max after watching your video and so far, so good.
Thanks, Colion, your videos are always clear, clean, and good value, I think I might have to go out and get one of these. I've got a Llama .380 I've carried for several years, but it's seven plus one, a four inch barrel, it's very nice and shootable, accurate, but it's not a pocket pistol, it doesn't draw easily from the pocket. I've got a NAA 22 mag, very nice, but also limited. This looks very good. Thanks!
Being a plumber I spend a lot of time crawling in and around. Holstered weapons are out of the question although I have tried carrying my SIG 365 in my pocket but it is just too large and uncomfortable. So I was back to my LCP. I have the 1 and 2. Now it looks like this MAX will fill the void between too large and not enough ammo. Thanks for the review!
This is my lazy day carry. When I don’t feel like wearing a belt or anything, I put it in my pocket and go. It’s great for my wife because she’s able to rack the slide.
What holster do you use in the pocket? I have a great holster for jeans but trying to figure out what to do for sweatpants and gym shorts
@@flyingcows547 I bought some sticky holster, but will keep looking for a better one. It’s doing a good job so far.

I bought the LCP II .22lr and loved it. I bought the LCP II .380 and loved it. About one month later the LCP MAX comes out.
Oh yes - I love it! 💯👍(I'm also a big fan of my P365 and P365XL.)
I have a few single stack .380 and 9mm. Also have P365. Can you compare the recoil and shootability of the LCP Max with any other .380 you have shot and the P365?
After watching this (and many other videos) I went out today and got one. EXCELLENT decision. It doesn’t hurt your hand to shoot it like the Bodyguard. No regrets getting this.
the "voodoo magic" they did on the lcp max was making the grip significantly longer and thicker than the LCP 2 which was also significantly thicker than the original LCP. The Max might be a good option for some people who can't carry a micro-9 with the same capacity but it does not replace the original Ruger LCP/Kel-Tec P3AT in my opinion.
Carried the P3AT for nearly 15 years. I carry my Glock 19 everywhere I can but the P3AT everywhere ALL the time. I practically carry it in the shower :)
The original lcp has a horrible trigger. The lcp2 and the max are by far better guns.
Another here still loving the original LCP. Trigger being good or not is rather subjective. I for one like the longer trigger pull and the fact it is only partially cocked and can't set off a round without the trigger being pulled all the way. The Max and the II are not even close to the concealability of the original. Have tried both. No way no how. The Max sounds like a great idea, and looks good till you realize how much wider and heavier it has gotten. If you live in the type of neighborhood where seven rounds won't get it done, you need think about getting a bigger gun (or move).
@@dtnetlurker finally the truth
@@dtnetlurker That's what I wanted to know.. They keep getting bigger, so it must get more cumbersome in the pocket.
I’m really glad you review a decent amount of Ruger firearms. Unless it’s the 10/22, for some reason you just don’t see a lot of reviews on Rugers. My EDC is a Ruger SR40c. If I were to do it all over again I would probably go with a 9 mm, but I am committed to my .40 now and really like my Ruger and I’ve gotten proficient at it. Great to see someone highlight the Ruger company like this because I think they make a fine firearm in addition to being wallet friendly.
Thanks Colion, I'm gonna check this one out!
I think most reviewer‘s are finding it the same. The recoil still there, maybe slightly damp and by having a few extra rounds of weight in your hand but realistically that’s not much of a difference, but I think having the wider grip allows your hand just to grab it better and it re-distribute that recoil better and gives you better control so it’s not tearing you up quite as bad as the LCPII. I love the LCP two, it’s my favorite back up/pocket model, but it’s not fun to shoot more than a couple magazines through and if you go put 50 or 100 rounds through it you’re going to feel it. I think having a wider grip just fits most hands better and gives you more control and is more comfortable come instead of trying to pinch it to control it you can really grab it. I think that just makes it better in the hand in a little easier to control, and with the trigger makes it a great choice.
Lol I loved your review and how excited you got about it. I think that says a lot. You shoot a lot of different guns and for a small utility type model like this because that much enjoyment and excitement is pretty cool, And says a lot about it. I want one. Lol.
Thanks for the content!! I was on the fence about getting one and you've pushed me across the line. I am somewhat taken aback by the fact that you need to CC for a trip to the mailbox (unless you mean a post office box at the Post Office). I'm retired LEO and I carry everywhere, but not to my own mailbox. A VERY sad testament to the world we live in.
He's 1. A public figure. 2. A good looking ladies man. In either case, must be prepared because the mailbox is where they'll get you!! ;)
I love this video Colion and I’ve been doing a ton of research. My EDC is my Glock 19 which can be a little bulky at times especially for the warmer seasons. Due to the higher capacity of ten rounds compared to six on the LCP 2 that is an advantage but I’m disappointed there’s only one magazine in the box.
The first day I found about these I went out and bought one. Loving it. No waiting period and no government approval beyond them verifying you are not a criminal.
Great review! Fun video. Helped me make my decision between the LCP and this one. Going with the max!
I picked one up. I was beyond impressed with that little thing and I am NOT a pocket gun or 380 guy. Ruger did a great job
Just picked one up too. Love it but it rusts like a motherfucker
@@scotch1993 you just picked it up and it’s rusting? How?
@@scotch1993 I've seen other people say this. I haven't got to that problem yet. I have caused a lot of other guns to rust though so I know it's going to happen.
@@ronniemac34 sometimes guns rust really easily just because of where you live or the conditions inside your clothes/house.
I got a brand new shotgun with a rust resistant coating and in less than three weeks in Louisiana climate, I saw rust.
@@DoraTheMFDestroya the climate makes sense, but I still thought they were made better. I’m up in West Virginia and none of mine have rusted yet. One I have that’s similar is the security 9 which I’ve had for maybe a year.
I loved my lcp-2 and when I saw the max and the improvements they made I bought it as soon as it came out a few months ago and it's every bit as good as Colion says.
Is it as easy to pocket carry as the LCP2? I pocket mine alllll the time and think I’m going to replace my LCP2 with this too, just didn’t know if it was a big change
@@jimmiemiller4327 the grip is wider because it's doubles stack so if you have some side to side room to fit a bit more it's the same otherwise
@@Devilman666 cool thanks for the reply! Didn’t want to get rid of the LCP2 if the max was way bulkier in my pocket. Guess I need to put hands on one.
@@jimmiemiller4327 definitely go hold one before you buy if you're concerned nothing beats that.
I have the LCP 2 and love it! For me 20 yard shots are easy. I usually carry my P 365 but the LCP 2 is right there when I need it.
Another banger Colion! Almost 2 million & still giving us 🔥 content
Colion, why didn't you get a couple of the 12 round magazines ? They hold 11 rounds effectively, and increase the loaded capacity to 12.. they also lengthen the grip just a bit.....😉
Is it still a true pocket gun with that mag?
I put 12 rounds in my extended mag and 1 in the chamber 😂 13 rounds in this tiny thing lol
@@CertifiedPG the 12+1 mag only adds about 1/8” to the grip but gives you two more rds. I’ll take that. I have the 10 and 12 rd and always carry the 12.
The LCP2 handles MUCH better than the old LCP. I’m not sure either why the recoil feels much more pleasant from the LCP2 than the original KelTec knock-off LCP, but it does.
I'd guess two, maybe three, reasons. First, LCP II weights 1.2 ounces more than the LCP. That means less felt recoil. Second, the original Ruger LCP had 9 lbs. recoil spring I believe and 11 lbs. is factory standard for LCP II. Third, the improved grip texture likely makes it so it bounces around less in your hand, which gives the appearance of less recoil.
@@wheelguns4wheelmen802 I was wondering about the spring, but hadn’t looked it up yet, thanks. It’s an amazing difference. Now it just needs dovetailed sights so you can install proper sights if you want. Lol
It’s a fan favorite, gonna definitely go out and get this max
For my line of work and where I live this has been a perfect EDC. In Florida the stainless slide is a must, especially working outdoors all day like I do.
Extremely ergonomic for a pistol that small. I get a full wrap with the 12 round mag. It required a break in but thousands of rounds later and weekly usage, it's a hell of a bargain
Great review. Subscribed. Thanks!
i edc the lcp and now the lcp max for years and depending on my mood i carry the lcp2 in 22lr which is incredibly accurate for me,i have other calibers i enjoy at the range just my .02 cents
LMAO 🤣 .22 is accurate for anyone....literally. Even new born babies 👶
I'm in business clothes all day every day. I have this for an ankle holster ccw with my business attire. Love it. The size is just what I need to NOT print.
I bought an LCP max for the exact same reason!
In cooler weather,a tactical tee shirt might be an option.
What ankle holster do you use/recommend?
@@doughesson maybe under a sweater but I wear buttoned dress shirts tucked into dress pants. So ankle holster is easiest for me.
@@JPMandz I use an Uncle Mike's size 10 fits the ruger lcp and other small guns. Only thing I don't like is that the ankle holster stretches a bit through the day. Have to adjust a cpl times per day, no biggie, just sayin.
Thank you for this! I just got my concealed carry and I’m ready to purchase
The best gun is the one you carry. This is a great gun to carry, especially in the summer with a Desantis G3 Pocket holster.
Great video! I find my micro 9 uncomfortable to carry and prone to "print". I have carried my .380 much more than I have carried it, but have always wished it held more rounds. I really like this pistol and am planning on purchasing one later this year, or early next year.
With this gun and buffalo bore hardcast flat nose, I am not afraid of anything.
Great bullet,way better than hollow points.
A man that knows how bullets work! Good choice sir!
Does it easily fit in a pocket? The LCP 2 was smaller.
@@MrGriff305I carried the lcp2 for 3 years in the left pockets of my basketball shorts. I Even slept with it. It did an excellent job of looking like a wallet.
Now I carry the lcp max. It weighs almost the same, gives you 4 or 6 more rounds, and has better sights. Being wider is a tradeoff, but it helps when training at the range.
If maximum concealment is top priority, then you should carry the lcp2 with confidence.
In my area, if I ask nicely at the gun shop, they will let me make sure the gun fits in my pocket
@@kevinclause4p55p5 Appreciate the feedback. The extra half inch shorter of the II for easy draw and the looking like a wallet is a real advantage. I'd hope that the max could pull that off too, otherwise there's no point to this class of gun. Like you said, I just have to try it out.. Thanks!
Got mine 2 weeks ago and love it... now my edc...extra mag and I'm good
I just picked mine up. Definitely feels better than the LCP 1. I'm selling it today since now I have no need for it. Definitely recommend as an upgrade to the LCP 1 or 2. Def get the max
Problem is finding .380 ammo reliably, because I own one of these and it absolutely hates cheap steel cased ammo. If you’re running brass it’s not an issue, but steel makes it choke and fail to feed a lot more than is acceptable. On the plus side, you get a whole lot of malfunction training with this gun if you’re running enough steel case ammo through it.
