Like the LCP II, the LCP Max comes with micro-texturing on the side grip panels, frontstrap and backstrap.
Both guns are listed at 10.6 ounces in weight. That does make the LCP Max a bit taller than the LCP II, which stands 3.71 inches tall. Even with its widened magazine, the grip width of the LCP Max is just 0.90 inch, while overall height is 4.17 inches. The LCP Max’s 0.93-inch-wide slide is slightly broader than that of the LCP II’s 0.75 inch, but some of that added width comes in the form of “ears” on the rear of the slide that ease operation. All edges have been beveled for comfortable carry. The LCP Max doesn’t have a safety and really doesn’t need one due to its trigger design. In fact, the overall length (5.17 inches) and barrel length (2.75 inches) of the two guns are the same. The LCP Max with bottleneck magazine and four extra rounds is virtually the same size as the LCP II. Add too much girth to the grip and the LCP’s hide-it-under-anything design would be compromised. Ruger clearly saw the advantage of an LCP with a higher-capacity magazine, but a great deal of the LCP’s appeal revolves around the pistol’s compact size. And while the bottleneck magazine design isn’t brand-new-9x18 Makarov pistols with bottleneck magazines have been in use for decades-the fascination with light, compact, high(er) capacity carry pistols that utilize bottleneck mags certainly is. The “stack-and-a-half” design was first popularized by SIG’s P365, though Springfield’s Hellcat, Taurus’ GX4 and Ruger’s own Max-9 all utilize similar magazine designs. The Ruger LCP Max utilizes a bottleneck double-stack magazine. 380 Auto but weren’t willing to sacrifice round count, I have some wonderful news for you: The LCP Max has arrived. If you’ve always been keen on carrying a small. The original LCP and LCP II are extraordinarily light and small, but they hold just six. 380 Auto pistols have been frontrunners in the race to offer effective stopping power from a pocket pistol, but to maintain minimal size and weight, these guns have had to give up a few things, including magazine capacity.
