What are your thoughts on the Ruger LCP Max (380) for a good conceal carry pocket pistol? Thanks.
I hate small frame .380s because they suck to shoot and most people won't train with them much because of it. And the LCP is no exception. I doubt much has changed other than capacity from the 2 LCPs I had. Very snappy because it weighs next to nothing. Sight radius is as laughable as you'd expect with such a small gun. Shooting decent defensive loads is a literal pain. Unless you spend a ton of time behind it, maximum useful distance is maybe 7-10 yards from my experience. I had 500 painful, and frankly demoralizing, rounds through my last one and couldn't get follow up shots or groups i was happy with. That was largely due to the little grips shifting around in my hand after each shot. Maybe the Max fares better in this regard due to a larger mag but I wouldn't hold my breathWhat are your thoughts on the Ruger LCP Max (380) for a good conceal carry pocket pistol? Thanks.

Thanks. What is a J frame?Max is far superior to the previous LCP iterations. The sights alone entire that, let alone mag capacity. With that said, they are finicky with ammo selection, and of the four I've been around, none have been 100% reliable. I'd personally rather pocket carry a Jframe, but that's why we have options.
A small revolver.Thanks. What is a J frame?
