The two standard models feature external thumb safeties. Three different Max-9 models are currently available. Angled front and rear slide serrations offer solid control over the pistol when manipulating the slide or performing press checks. The rear of the slide is rounded like the Security-9, and that shape further reduces the likelihood that your firearm will show through clothing. The beveling also serves to reduce the gun’s overall weight a bit. Nothing shouts, “Look, a gun!” more loudly than sharp slide edges bulging from beneath your shirt. The Max-9 features beveling on the slide corners that makes it easier to conceal this pistol under light clothing. The rear sight has a tactical ledge that makes it possible to rack the slide with a single hand if there isn’t a reflex sight installed. The rear sight is tall enough that it can co-witness with your optic, and the muzzle portion of the slide has a machined bump that slightly elevates the front sight so it aligns properly with the rear sight. The rear sight has a slight cutout around the rear notch that cuts glare, and the front sight, with its bright green center dot and white perimeter ring, is bold enough to be easily seen at any time of the day. The Max-9 features a one-piece machined anodized aluminum fire-control chassis.Įven though it’s red-dot-ready, Ruger didn’t skimp on the sights, which include a tritium/fiber-optic day/night front. Both the cold-hammer-forged 3.2-inch barrel and hardened alloy steel slide feature a black oxide finish that stands up to friction and the corrosive effects of perspiration.
RUGER 9MM REVIEW MANUAL
It’s available with or without a manual safety.Įveryday carry is rough on a handgun, but the Max-9 is built to withstand that abuse. The Max-9’s controls are straightforward: reversible magazine release, small slide stop and a button that covers the takedown pin. The Ruger Max-9 carries a suggested retail price of just $499, which is $100 less than the Springfield Hellcat OSP and $200 less than the SIG P365 XL. One thing that makes the Ruger stand out is its price. The Max-9 offers many of the same features you’ll find on other subcompact optics-ready models like an increased magazine capacity (12+1) and a slide that’s pre-cut to accept a wide array of popular JPoint- and Shield-pattern micro reflex sights-a list that includes not only those red dot models but also a variety of others from Crimson Trace, SIG, Springfield, Sightmark and more.
With SIG’s P365 and Springfield’s Hellcat selling in record numbers, Ruger wanted a piece of the action and designed its own competing micro 9mm that offers a capacity of 10-plus rounds yet carries like a single-stack pistol. Ruger has its finger on the pulse of the firearms market, so it’s no surprise that the company has launched a brand-new micro-compact, optics-ready 9mm carry pistol.
