Dang, you wife had to drag you to a fun show, and then twist your arm into buying guns?...she got an identical twin sister that'll get along with my wife? lol
Great little gun. I really enjoy mine. Massive improvement over the original LCP is used to carry, or the Airweight I used to carry. I'm also a summer gym shorts, and sometimes winter sweatpants carrier. If I could offer a recommendation, you might try out a turbo cheap kydex holster and add an ulticlip to it. Way better than pocket carry when you don't have a belt, and I imagine the wife would love it, what with women's lamentable lack of deep pockets in their shorts and pants. |

View Quote You know I was about take her temp and make sure she was feeling ok haha. As for your recommendation, thank you, that's exactly what we did. We got a couple of Kydex holsters for it with the ulticlip and they are fantastic! I really can't wait to put some defensive rounds through this, and a couple more boxes of ball to finish off the breaking in. |

Love my LCP max. It's my shorts carry gun. If I'm wearing a belt I carry my Hellcat pro. If gym shorts. lcp max.

Bought my wife one. Ordered a Kydex holster with the push off tab so she can carry it in her purse. Need to go shoot it.

Wish they would make them in .32 ACP, as I could replace my LCP II .22 as my 'walk the dogs' gun.

It would rust too much for ankle carry, so I kept my Kahr CM9

I've had the LCP Max for about 3 years. It jammed every couple of shots. Sent it to Ruger. They replaced the slide and barrel. It now shoots fmj great. I can't find a hollow point ammo that will feed properly. I contacted Ruger about this again. They said there is nothing else that they can do. Other than the feeding issue I love the gun.

I thought I’d like the Max, was about to upgrade from my gen 1 LCP but then I shot one and it just didn’t do it for me. I was really wanting to like it, too. Made me fall back in love with my LCP, though.

My go to pocket EDC with Precision One 90 gr XTP. Never has failed reliability with fmj/90xtp load, easy shooting and accurate, barely prints and has been dropped on pavement a few times accidentally without popping off a round. Single stack LCPs sit in the safe now with a spare lcp max 75th edition for a rainy day.

I still carry my Gen 1 LCP occasionally, but I love the Max.
I did replace the trigger on mine as I was getting pinched at the bottom of the original trigger. It’s great either carried IWB or in a pocket. Looking through my log book I was surprised to see that I’ve only shot 100 rounds through it in the last year. I’ve got 500 rounds of fmj ammo coming. Need to get out and shoot it more! |

View Quote @Fullyloaded, have you tried Hornady Critical Defense? It’s a hollow point with a plastic insert that gives it a fmj profile. Also had excellent penetration and expansion in gel tests. Feeds great in my LCP and Max. |

I picked up 2 of the 75th anniversary LCP max models. They have been 100% reliable so far in the few hundred rounds I have put through them. I do get a little trigger bite on my trigger finger after firing a couple mags. Not a big deal for a part time carry gun that isn't usually fired a lot. I'm not really impressed with the accuracy either, its ok for close range use but that's it. My original LCP is very accurate and I have used it for rabbit hunting and such.

Has anyone had trouble with some mags not wanting to activate the slide lock after the last round?
|
|

[#25]
I bought mine when they first came out.
Failure to feeds all over the place with all types of ammo. I sent it back to Ruger who replaced the slide and barrel. Since then, it's been 100% reliable with every type of ammo I've fed into it except for Fiocchi FMJ. It hates Fiocchi. Every 3rd shot or so will cause a jam that is very difficult to clear. |

I contacted Ruger about this and they wanted me to send the gun back. I told them, no.. send me a new slide assembly, barrel, recoil spring, etc. They did. When I got the new full slide assembly, I went to install it and couldn’t get my original slide to not lock back on the magazines like it was before. ![]() I’ve noticed that my Max locks back consistently when actually shooting the gun and going empty. If I’m dry firing and manually manipulating the slide that’s when I was having issues with it locking back. So now I just have a spare slide assembly for a rainy day. Ruger customer service is good to go. |

My dad decided he needed one for some reason so I bought him one. We put about 250 rounds through it when we picked it up, a mix of what PSA had in stock plus some .380 hollow points I had on hand- Speer GDHP, a magazine of Winchester HP and some Remington HP. No issues, accurate (I think the furthest I ran the target to was 20yrds) and easier to shoot than my original LCP. He wanted a kydex IWB clip on holster for it so I guess he's carrying it now instead of the 642 I gave him years ago. I like the stainless slide on the 75th anniversary model, my old LCP rusts if I don't keep it oiled up; it's the gun I often carry running/mountain biking.

I had the slide lock problems too
both types of magazines. I took the baseplates of both types and stretched the springs out about an inch. Reassembled. Slide locks back by hand and while shooting. |

I like my Max very much and have carried and shot it since they came out. Now try the S&W Bodyguard 2.0. It is much nicer to shoot than my Max. S&W really hit it with this design. Lower bore axis really reduces snappiness. Also it fits in the hand better. |

He did well with it although watching him shoot it I can't help but wonder if he'd do better with the new S&W as his hands aren't as steady as they used to be. He did complain of it starting to wear on his finger but I can't see him shooting it a lot so mostly a moot point; he used to shoot frequently but it can be like pulling teeth to get him to go anymore. Of course if he were to change his mind that means I could end up with the LCP Max ![]() |
