 Hey there friends thanks for checking in July 1st 2021 Ruger released the Ruger LCP max check that out they made some improvements primarily the magazine capacity those who know the LCP know that it carries six rounds in the magazine the LCP max carries 10 rounds without making the grip that much wider I'm going to show that but 10 round capacity in this magazine and that makes a difference plus four to top it off they also offer a 12 round magazine it's available on their site and with this you are doubling the capacity of the original LCP 2 and also adding three finger contact very nice very innovative and Ruger did it again they keep coming out with these these new handguns these new models and they are really turning heads in the gun world I'm impressed now if you go with the LCP max you'll get a cardboard box a pocket holster which many people I think many people would pocket carry this pistol okay as well as the original you know kind of made for that they're micro 380s not much heavier I'm going to show that as well as well as an extended base plate for the magazine so you can get a little bit more of a grip MSRP 449 for the LCP max but let's check out some of the differences because it's more than the capacity that sets this pistol apart we look at the grip texturing a little bit different there we look at the magazine release all right this is reversible for lefties as where this one is not so you get the magazine capacity the reversible magazine release and deeper cut slide serrations now you may not be able to see it from the angle that I just showed but I will tell you that these are much deeper cut and they also have what Ruger is calling cocking ears little ledge there on both sides to give a nice strong grip when charging the pistol another thing that I find very impressive is that the LCP max has usable sights if we look at the original LCP these are milled in sights right into the slide and this front sight is is hardly usable you'd really have to align it perfectly to make a precise shot and you look at the new max it has serrated black rear sight and a tritium front dot with a white outline so we look at the difference here and this is something that you can really notice at the range when you're firing the more accuracy that you get with or the better accuracy that you get with usable sights is substantial looking at the grip width you can see that the LCP max on the left is a little bit wider as expected but the advantage there is that it fills your palm feels not so much like a micro pistol even though it is it just gives you a little more to hang on to when firing now what Ruger says is that they have a patent barrel cam geometry that they added to the max it reduces the felt recoil substantially from the original LCP now I did not shoot these side by side but I will say 380 doesn't offer a lot anyways but I've heard people say that this is snappy being the so lightweight this doesn't feel so snappy if you will another thing is that it also has the 2.8 inch barrel that's the same a integrated barrel bushing you can see right there all right locks up nice and tight and the overall profile is very similar now it also has a 0.93 inch wide slide so if you have a lcp lcp2 and you have a kydex holster it'll fit in there nice and snug and yep the lcp2 max will also fit in that exact same holster which is a very nice touch multi holster there I had them make this up for me because this is a nice pistol if we look at the trigger pull I'm measuring it right at right around five pounds nice crisp break not a great difference between this and the original lcp2 it does have the trigger bar safety in there let's see how the lcp max does with a lyprous test the lcp max it passed the lcp models are known for being very light so let's check out the differences between these two and see what we find unloaded lcp2 10 and three quarters ounces unloaded lcp max we're looking at 10 and three quarters ounces so it's the same weight that's pretty amazing here are 10 rounds of 380 14 and a quarter there's your carry around 14 and five eighths ounces that's 11 round capacity remember I said they have a 12 round magazine available here it is loaded up 12 rounds that last round was not too difficult to get in there either 14 and 7 8 15 and a quarter ounces with 13 rounds in the lcp max that that's pretty impressive you want to talk about comfortable summer carry let me go ahead and disassemble it to do so all you do i'm going to use the help of my pocket knife and pull this pin out you're just going to pry that just a little bit pull that pin out and off comes the slide glass filled nylon frame is what ruger calls it sort of a polymer glass filled nylon and over here we've got a dual recoil spring now you can't see that there are two but there are two springs in there same as the original and your 2.8 inch barrel right there and there's that integrated barrel bushing that locks up nice and tight ruger has been really coming out with the firearms they really have i don't know what's going on with their engineering department but they are pumping them out when when they came out with the lcp light rack in 22 they made that with a 10 round capacity of 22 long rifle now they did the exact same thing and made it in 380 and i just find that impressive it has that bar there you want to take your pin and just go over that a little bit and then come down and push it through and there it is ruger lcp max here we'll put the 10 round mag in there not only did they increase the magazine capacity make the grip nicer deeper cut serrations a tritium front dot usable rear sight that it has that ledge there you can charge it off a boot or a table or whatever but they made a real nice pistol here with an msrp of 449 and i i think it's great you know adding capacity is wonderful we see that a lot ruger's in it now with the 380 acp took the lcp2 and improved it and made it better with more capacity and it sure fires nice at the range if you like videos like this please subscribe and share i always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
