New: Ruger LCP MAX Pistols, Now with Manual Safety
Ruger has updated its popular 10/12+1 shot pocket-sized .380 with two new models that add extra safety features to complement their pint-sized protection piece.
Following up on the single-stack 6+1 capacity LCP II in 2021 with a pistol that included options for a 10+1 flush-fit and 12+1 extended capacity magazine, the LCP Max still measures less than an inch wide and hits the scales at less than 11 ounces. Answering requests from LCP Max fans, the company now offers two new variants (Models 13749 and 13754) that feature an easy-to-use manual safety on the left side of the frame.
Both models have a two-toned appearance via a matte stainless slide over a black polymer frame and a tritium front sight ahead of a drift-adjustable U-notch rear sight. The hammer-fired LCP Max has an external extractor. (Photos: Ruger)
Overall length of the LCP Max is just 5.17 inches due to its 2.8-inch barrel, smaller than any micro 9. Note the manual safety lever, complementing the bladed inner trigger safety, which is standard across the series.
Weight is 10.6 ounces, while the slide width is just 0.81 inches. Model 13749 is shown.
The second new LCP Max pistol, Model 13754, not only has the manual safety but also adds an internal magazine disconnect so that it won't fire without the mag inserted, and now sports a loaded chamber indicator on the top of the slide.
