9mm guns are officially obsolete. .380 loads can now penetrate 12"-14" and there is no difference between calibers.
Cheaper, less muzzle rise, faster follow up shots and now guns that keep the same magazine size. 9mm is done. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ruger has some of the best customer service in the business. If your gun doesn't function contact them. They will make it right Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I carry my Gen 1 LCP regularly. It's been very reliable. I bought a Gen II in 2020, but had some feed problems with it, that I think are corrected now, but haven't been able to shoot enough .380 through it to have confidence to carry it (my .380 stock is running low). Definitely interested in the LCP Max. Did the problem fix itself or did you do something to it? I cannot get through a magazine without a failure to feed @apmonte @2ndamendmentknights Things would get so jammed up that I had a hard time pulling back the slide. I originally thought I was having a problem with one of my magazines, but suspect it's a feed ramp issue. It wouldn't surprise me if there's something just not right with the design. I polished the feed ramp to mirror, as I do with most of my pistols, and that seems to have helped significantly. I just don't have enough .380 stocked right now to run through it to gain enough confidence to put it into EDC rotation. I polished with some Flitz metal polish, using Conical Felt Point tips on my dogs cordless nail trimmer. Ruger has some of the best customer service in the business.

Cheaper, less muzzle rise, faster follow up shots and now guns that keep the same magazine size. 9mm is done.  You done dunnit now. Even satirically. I wouldn't go that far. For Service pistols that need barrier penetration reliably the 9mm is still the floor. However, this is definitely not as stringent a requirement for self defense pistols. This is a big point of contention among the Faithful. Some want that capability, some don't think it's an absolute requirement for a pocket pistol. I think it's a wash between carrying an FBI approved caliber pistol sometimes vs carrying a.380 ALL the time. Rule #1 of gunfighting: Have a gun on you. The LCP2 fills that very well with its useable trigger and decent sights. The Max gets better with real sights and significant capacity. I'll get off my "The FBI fucks over CCW carriers with its pseudo scientific protocol " now. |

Just placed a pre-order for one.
I've really liked all of the LCPs. My original LCP was awesome except it was so uncomfortable to shoot. A magazine or two and I was done. The LCP II is awesome, comfortable to shoot all day, a little nail polish on the sights and they are great. Love my .22 LCP as well. Best gun ever for pocket carry, an additional 4 rounds is a no-brainer. |

Someone told me to shoot it using one hand only so that is my plan next time I shoot it. I am sure there is a thread here somewhere on that topic, I need to find it. |

I've trained until I'm competent enough to keep my trigger off the trigger until my firearm is drawn and pointed away from my person. Unless you pull the trigger the gun isn't going to magically discharge. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pocket gun, but with no manual safety? Swing and a miss, Ruger. what is an improvement on one of the highest selling lines of pocket carry guns in over the last decade is a swing and a miss? Do you also prefer manual safeties on all of your carry pistols? Or, do you have modes of carry that you don't prefer them? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: what is an improvement on one of the highest selling lines of pocket carry guns in over the last decade is a swing and a miss? Do you also prefer manual safeties on all of your carry pistols? Or, do you have modes of carry that you don't prefer them? I think overall, the MAX *is* an improvement on the old LCP/LCPII. I was pretty happy to see it advertised, as a 10-12 cap 380 pocket-size gun from Ruger (I brand I like and trust -- a lot) sounds GREAT. But I also think that it is a "miss" in that MOST respected manufacturers of compact "CCW"-class weapons are starting to offer BOTH manual safety and NON-manual safety models. Ruger even offers it on their LCP 22LR. However, Ruger chose NOT to offer one their LCPII MAX, where it would have been easier to do in that they already had to design a new grip/frame to accommodate the thicker magazine. I think THAT was a miss, but I am hoping it will be temporary, and a MS model will be along shortly. I only have a few weapons that I consistently carry (P365 and S&W Bodyguard, for examples), and yes, on such weapons in that use case, I greatly prefer a manual safety. For ultra-light carry, I chose the Bodyguard instead of my LCP for that reason. |
