This review of the Ruger LCP MAX .380 ACP focuses on its features for concealed carry. The presenter highlights its double-stack magazine capacity (10+1), lighter weight compared to the Sig P238, and improved grip ergonomics. While the trigger is noted as heavy, this is seen as a safety feature for pocket carry. Reliability testing with 100 rounds, including flat-nose ammunition, was flawless. The sights, featuring a tritium front, are praised. The primary trade-off for its capacity and features is a heavier trigger pull, impacting rapid-fire accuracy at distance but deemed acceptable for its intended close-quarters self-defense role.

The manual recommends high-velocity ammo, but consistent feeding is paramount for this firearm.
