    Ruger LCP Max 9

    Mine is on my hip now!
  3. After reading your comment above, I just had to go see for myself if that was the case, with my LCP Max and my Taurus Tracker. I can assure you that the Taurus Tracker single action trigger pull is MUCH, MUCH lighter than the LCP Max Trigger. The trigger pull on for the LCP Max is advertised to be about 6 lbs 7 ounces. As long as you carry one in a holster that covers the trigger, which I do for every pistol I own, I see no issue with carrying the LCP Max or the LCP II. Now if one has a problem carrying a pistol without a safety, like the LCP Max, then I would espouse that one should not carry that pistol. As for me, I will continue to carry my Max in a DeSantis Nemesis Pocket holster or on my hip, when I determine that is the best pistol to carry for the circumstances.
  4. If I were looking for a Glock .45acp, I'd be all over this!!! I wish it was a 19 or a 45 (you know what I mean. ). That's what I'm looking for now, since I picked up my Ruger PCC. I want the mag commonality, between my pistol and my rifle. GLWS!!!

    Ruger LCP Max 9

    My Max 9 has become my main carry. The only other pistol I still carry from time to time, is it's little cousin the LCP Max in .380. For the last two months, these are the only two I've carried. I use a OWB 1791 leather holster, trimmed so the CT1550 RDS fits or a kydex paddle holster. I will soon be getting a couple of better holsters for it.
  6. Try Crossroads Firearms on Broadway. Good folks there!

    Just wanted to add a bit to this. My grandfather started me shooting with the 67 when I was four. He and my grandmother lived off Delrose Drive, in East Knoxville, right up against the city limits. Amazingly enough, the police were never called by their neighbors. Those were different times, but firing a gun in the city limits was still illegal back then. He would set up beer cans at the base of a tall, thick pine tree and then I would shoot at them with the Winchester 67. I wasn't big enough or strong enough to hold the rifle up, so I would rest it on a tall stool. At the beginning he would also have to chamber and pull the plunger back on the bolt for me. But as I got bigger, I was able to do it myself. We spent many weekends, shooting that rifle, in the back yard! It started my love of firearms!
  8. GF4, you are correct. That is exactly how I do it.

    Mine was a Winchester Model 67 single shot .22LR rifle.
  10. In all honesty, that maybe how I do it to. When I made my statement, I was at the hospital with my dad (he had cancer surgery today) and was trying to remember how I did it. I know that sounds stupid, but it’s mostly muscle memory, for me. Also I don’t carry a revolver much. When I get home tomorrow, I’m going to pull out my 442 and run through it several times and see exactly how I do it.
  11. No problem! It was a mental exercise for me, thinking through the steps. What might be nice is if you borrowed some else’s revolver, to practice with. Even if it was a .22. That actually might be a good thing to use, because it will make you use your fine motor skills. Sort of a therapy, if you will.
  12. As I read that. I think that’s how I unload and load a revolver, being right handed. 1. I transfer the empty revolver to my left hand. Just cradling the gun in my left hand. 2. Push the cylinder release with my right thumb. At the same time pushing the cylinder out with my left hand Birdie and ring fingers, while still holding the revolver in my left had. 3. I use my right palm to slap the ejector rod. That might be tricky for you, because you need a good hold on the revolver with your left hand. 4. I load the revolver with my right hand, while holding it in my left hand. 5. Once loaded, I close the cylinder with my left thumb and/or right hand. 6. Then transfer the revolver to my right hand to shoot. That’s my manual of arms for loading a revolver, as I went through it in my mind.
  13. Been several times. I believe they have some right now for $14.50 a box.
  14. Hey Legion, the link isn't working, at least for me.

    .40 Cal

    Rural King in Halls had it for around $20 a box of 50.
  16. Great shooting rifles! I used to compete with one.

    Ruger LCP Max 9

    Are you planning on adding a reddot on it later on? One of the reasons I bought this one was to try out a reddot sight, which this one came with. Been very happy with it so far! This came with the Crimson Trace CT1550. I find it very easy to pick up and the iron sights co-witness nicely with it as well. Next thing to pick up is a holster. I have two I use as stop gaps, but I'm looking for a nice paddle holster for it.

    Ruger LCP Max 9

    I owned the LCP and I now own a LCP Max (.380 acp). It's true that the Max grip is wider, but the increase is negligible, but the additional 5 rounds (in 12 round mag) is not. The trigger is much better too. It's zero issues. I couldn't say that about the LCP. The LCP Max became my favorite carry pistol, until I bought the LCP Max 9. I still carry it on occasion, when I need to go lighter. Of course the OP was asking about the LCP Max 9. which is a larger version of the LCP MAX in 9mm.
