I've got a LCP and considering buying another. I saw the max. How much bigger does it feel than the LCP? I like how tiny the LCP is that it can fit in a shirt breast pocket. Is the max getting into Glock 26 territory?

Eta: are people having more problems with the max than the regular LCP?

My wife's first purchase was an LCPII.

It's neat, and easily the most concealable
gun I've ever carried.

I've never tried the others, but for about $300
each, there's no reason I shouldn't get them, right?

The Max is just slightly thicker and taller than the LCP, not even close to the G26 width.

With the 10rd mag there is not much difference in size, the 12rd mag extends the grip length.

The max is not within g26 size or weight.  It is only slightly bigger than the lcp.  I would seriously look at sw bodyguard 2.0 instead of the max though.  It is a better mousegun all around.

I would get another LCP.
There is nothing in its size and weight class.

I got the Max and it can be pocket carried but I just don’t shoot it as well.
The LCP is tiny but for some reason I shoot it much better than the Max.
(Maybe because I’ve had it since they first came out?)

As far as the Bodyguard 2.0, I just picked up one of those.
I shoot it best of the 3, but it’s not nearly as easy to conceal as my LCP 1.0.

The BG isn’t as thick as a P365, but it’s practically the same as far as length and height.

If I’m moving the Bodyguard to IWB carry, I can actually carry the P365 easier.

Choices are good, but sometimes they are a hassle.

I have a lcp max and had a keltec .380. To me not a significant difference. I like the max. 13 rounds without a significant increase in size.

It's just the aspect of the picture. The Max is really close in size to the LCP, just a bit thicker. Length and height are about the same. The grip is fatter to accommodate the double stack, and the gun is heavier too as a result of the larger magazine.
