The Ruger LCP MAX stands as the ultimate compact pocket pistol for concealed carry and everyday personal protection. This ultra-lightweight .380 Auto handgun delivers exceptional capacity, reliability, and shootability in the smallest practical package—making it one of the best .380 concealed carry pistols available.
Key Features of the Ruger LCP MAX:
• Compact and lightweight design — Weighing in at just over 10 ounces, the LCP MAX remains the definitive pocket-sized personal protection pistol for deep concealment and all-day comfort.
• High-capacity magazines — Ships standard with a 10-round magazine featuring a flush floorplate for maximum concealability. 12-round extended magazines are available at ShopRuger.com for added firepower without sacrificing pocketability.
• Textured grip frame — Provides a secure, comfortable hold that fits most hand sizes. Pair the 12-round magazine or the included finger grip extension floorplate with the 10-round mag for a full-firing grip that enhances control and accuracy.
• Smooth slide and frame — Rounded edges and snag-free surfaces ensure effortless draw, comfortable carry, and reliable handling in any situation.
• Tritium front sight with white outline — Delivers lightning-fast target acquisition in low light, daylight, or any condition for quick, confident shots.
• Rear sight — Features a generous U-notch for easy front sight alignment and a square front face designed for one-handed slide cocking—ideal for emergency use.
• Aftermarket sight compatibility — Sight dovetails accept popular Bodyguard-pattern sights, allowing easy upgrades or customization to your preferences.
Engineered for superior performance:
• Improved internals — Enhanced magazine feed lips, feed ramp, extractor, and barrel cam geometries ensure flawless feeding and extraction.
• Patented barrel cam geometry — Delays unlocking, slows slide velocity, and dramatically reduces felt recoil compared to other .380 Auto pistols—making follow-up shots faster, more accurate, and easier to manage.
• Secure Action™ fire-control system — Ruger’s proven, safe design combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger for a short, smooth pull, crisp clean break, and positive reset—delivering consistent, reliable performance.
• Reversible magazine release — Ambidextrous convenience for left- or right-handed shooters.
Each Ruger LCP MAX pistol includes:
• One 10-round magazine
• Soft pocket holster for discreet carry
• Magazine loader for easier, faster reloading
