I've always like the .380 as the smallest caliber I would carry as a pocket pistol on a regular basis. But most of the pocket pistols are single stack guns. The new Ruger LCP MAX gives us 10+1 or 12+1 capacity in a tiny .380 you can comfortably carry. But we also talk about two defensive loads, one of which I'm currently carrying and do some ballistic testing.

Let's go Brandon!

I am a physician who has to wear either scrubs or dress pants and I can carry this every day with a sticky holder and waist band. Ten thousand times better than the original.

If the P365 was a game changer for concealed carry guns, the LCP Max is a game changer for pocket pistols. They nailed it.

I sold my LCP2 and bought a LCP Max as soon as they came out. The Max has been in my pocket since. The slight differences in the grip and sights make it so much easier to shoot well. My slide locks open every time.

Just do not shoot Grogu.

We are in the golden age my friends. You can’t really ask for more of a forgotten piece for carry than this thing. You can literally forget that you have it. Thanks mac for the great content.

C’mon smith and Wesson, let’s see a bodyguard 380 plus. Really like mine but 6+1 leaves me wanting.

[@orlandovega6958]

Have mine in my pocket now 😆

I've been looking for a backup sidearm.

I have the ruger 380. Max. Mine locks open empty and on the last round . The factory night sights are outstanding. My primary carry is the p 365 . But the ruger 380. Max is my summer carry gun. Great pistol! Great review!

[@davidc5027]

I own the LCP2 and LCP Max, and the Max is definitely a step up from V2. Slightly less recoil which is welcome and of course the extra rounds in the mag is a +. Better sights too. I lost the base-plate on the Max and Ruger just mailed me a new one at no charge - Can't say anything more positive than that.

Love my LCP, very specific carry for me. Mostly when "weapons" weren't allowed at a previous job but while delivering packages was in sketchy ares. Small enough to use a pocket holster and have peace of mind that I still had a firearm on me and comfortable to carry with all the movement I was doing.

I was an avid follower years ago, mostly for AR15s. Stumbled back here and was convinced to buy the Max immediately. Forgot how much I like your videos.

[@brianbuchert1521]

Just took my lcp max to the range this morning and all I can say is I love this pistol!!

[@yellowboxster06]

I’ve had the slide back issue with mine as well. Ruger replaced the magazine and that corrected the problem. You might notice that if you put a slight upward pressure on the empty magazine it will lock back just fine on an empty gun. When I discovered that I removed the magazine spring and stretched it slightly. This cured the problem whether the gun was empty or under live fire situations. I have about 500 rounds thru mine and that is the only ding I would give this pistol. In my opinion your review expresses exactly how I feel about the value of the LCP Max. For me it was a game changer.

[@BdogFinal14]

The LCP Max has been my EDC for over a year and I love it. It goes with me everywhere, whether in a suit, business causal, or athletic wear.

[@pjm204]

Ordered one as soon as it came out. I've been very happy with it. I hardly carry anything else anymore. It's about as big as I can go for a pocket pistol but it's very comfortable to carry.

[@edklloyd]

For the channel and for those also experiencing the no lock back, when it happens, look at the follower while still inserted in the magazine. I will almost bet that the little tab on the follower that is supposed to push up on the slide catch is missing that tab and going down beside it. the follower on these mags are coming up to high of an angle in front and the catch is missing the follower altogether.
