Ruger MAX-9 Features

The Ruger MAX-9 is a semi-automatic, polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol that operates on a short-recoil action with a tilting-barrel lockup.  It is built with a 3.2 inch barrel paired with windage-adjustable iron sights that include a tritium-fiber-optic front sight blade.  The slide features an optics cut that allows users to install red dot sights and other optical systems.


Ruger MAX-9 Ballistics

Ruger MAX-9 Capacity

The Ruger MAX-9 is chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum and feeds from staggered-stack, single-feed magazines similar in function to the 1.5 stack magazines made popular by the SIG Sauer P365.  It ships with two magazines that include a 10 round flush-fit magazine for more discreet concealed carry and a 12 round magazine with a slightly larger floorplate that offers a larger grip area.


Ruger MAX-9 Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The MAX-9 is a small pistol with a grip just large enough to accommodate the middle and ring fingers with the flush-fit magazine.  The magazine release, thumb safety and slide lock are all small as well.  The slide includes grip serrations on the front and back sides providing a very decent hold when manually cycling the action.  The grip is textured on all four sides with a sandpaper-style texturing.


Ruger MAX-9 Fit & Finish

Just as any other Ruger product, the steel components of the Ruger MAX-9 are heat treated to an incredible hardness to minimize damage and maximize durability.  Be sure to keep a light film of oil on steel components as the coating only protects against rust if oil is applied.  


Fit and Finish

Ruger MAX-9 Concealability

Concealability
Measuring 6 inches long and 4.52 inches tall with a width just under 1 inch, the Ruger MAX-9 is incredibly easy to conceal in just about any attire with nearly any placement granted you’re using a good holster.   If carrying at the 1 or 3 o’clock positions, be sure to wear an undershirt as the grip texturing can cause some irritation.
