Description
The Ruger LCP Max in .380 ACP represents a significant evolution in micro-compact concealed carry pistols, launched by Ruger in 2021 as the newest member of the legendary LCP (Lightweight Compact Pistol) family. Building upon the proven design that made the original LCP one of the most popular pocket pistols in America, the LCP Max delivers a remarkable engineering achievement: 10+1 capacity in a package barely larger than the original 6-shot LCP. This groundbreaking capacity increase was achieved through innovative design refinements including a new tri-lug barrel system and optimized magazine geometry, all while maintaining the ultra-slim 0.81-inch width that makes it ideal for deep concealment. Manufactured in Prescott, Arizona, the LCP Max proves that American ingenuity continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in defensive handgun design.
Technical specifications showcase the LCP Max's refinement over its predecessors. The pistol features a 2.80-inch barrel with 1:16 right-hand twist rifling, delivering excellent accuracy for its size class while maintaining an overall length of just 5.17 inches. The polymer frame is paired with a serrated black oxide alloy steel slide, creating a durable yet lightweight platform that tips the scales at only 10.6 ounces empty—light enough for all-day pocket carry without weighing you down. Ruger engineers equipped the LCP Max with genuinely useful sights: a Tritium fiber optic front sight provides excellent visibility in all lighting conditions, while the drift-adjustable rear sight allows for precise zeroing. The trigger system has been refined to deliver a smooth, consistent pull, and the frame features integral grip texturing for positive control during rapid fire. A reversible magazine release accommodates both right and left-handed shooters, demonstrating Ruger's attention to practical details.
Performance and reliability have established the LCP Max as a serious contender in the micro-compact market. The .380 ACP chambering provides adequate stopping power with manageable recoil in the lightweight platform, making it accessible to shooters of all experience levels while still being effective for personal defense. The innovative 10-round magazine design nearly doubles the firepower of comparable pocket pistols without increasing grip circumference—a feat that seemed impossible before Ruger's engineering team cracked the code. Shooters consistently praise the LCP Max's shootability, noting that the improved sights and grip texture make it surprisingly accurate for rapid fire despite its diminutive size. The all-steel construction of critical components ensures longevity, while Ruger's proven tolerances deliver the reliability that has made the LCP series a bestseller among concealed carriers, law enforcement backup guns, and armed professionals who need a truly pocketable defensive tool.
This brand new Ruger LCP Max comes complete with one 10-round magazine, a soft pocket holster for immediate carry capability, a magazine loader to ease loading of the high-capacity magazines, and the factory owner's manual with lock. The pistol is chambered in .380 ACP, features the standard 2.80-inch barrel, and ships in new, unfired condition with Ruger's outstanding factory warranty. At this price point, the LCP Max represents exceptional value for concealed carriers seeking maximum capacity in a minimum footprint—proving that you don't have to sacrifice firepower for concealability. Whether you're an experienced carrier upgrading from an older pocket pistol or a first-time buyer seeking a reliable defensive tool that disappears in a pocket, the Ruger LCP Max delivers performance that punches far above its weight class. This is modern concealed carry engineering at its finest, backed by the reputation of America's leading firearms manufacturer.
