Ruger Max 9 Pistol

Just attended a social function, as couple from our church just celebrated a 60th wedding anniversary and their kids were having a get together for them at our local events center. I had to dress for the occasion and put on a pair of light tan colored Kakis and Polo shirt. My pocket in those trousers is a little small for my usual K frame size 7 shot revolver and it prints really bad, so I put the Taurus in the safe and retrieved my Ruger Max 9. I had the extended 12 round mag in it, so I took it out and inserted the 10-rounder. The Max 9 fits that pocket much better but does still print however not near as bad as the revolver. It had 11 rounds of 9 MM on board instead of the 13 I usually carry. 

I really have come to like the Max 9. It is just right for big or smaller medium size pocket carry. IMO, only those who really know where they are in our solar system would even notice the bulge in my pocket. The Max is very easy to draw, fire, and get good hits with. I really like the green pipe sight and how the steel pistol feels in the hand. Even with the 10-round mag I can still get a good 2 1/2 finger hold (medium size hands) on the grip which is enough to hold to and makes shots more accurately. Even with continuous fire with 147 Gr + p S D H P ammo my half finger does not disengage the grip.  

If looking for a good, concealed carry pistol, for either IWB holsters or medium to large size Pocket carry, the Max deserves your eye for at least a checkout. The thing is built like a tank. I use a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster to carry the pistol in. I only paid 369.00 plus Tax for the Ruger. It comes with both mags.

Love mine. Changing to the Galloway trigger is a must.

 

Carry it openly everyday. Shoots well.

Why the trigger change, and where did you get the trigger, hornet22
