This "Gun of the Week" video from American Rifleman showcases the Ruger LCP MAX, a capacity-improved pocket pistol chambered in .380 ACP. The review highlights the LCP MAX's doubled capacity compared to previous models, its compact dimensions (5" long, 4" tall), and lightweight design (under 11 oz empty). Key improvements discussed include a widened grip with enhanced texturing for better control, an improved single-action trigger, and extended slide wings for easier manipulation. The video emphasizes its suitability as a hideout pistol and a personal defense tool within Ruger's lineup.
The Semmerling LM4 is a unique, manually operated .45 ACP backup pistol designed for extreme compactness. It features a novel magazine retention system and requires manual cycling of the slide for each shot. Despite its innovative design, it suffers from significant recoil, potential safety issues due to finger proximity to the muzzle during operation, and documented reliability problems with its magazine and ejection.
