 4. The Ruger Max-9 Shows Off Affordable Features in First 100 Rounds

06/08/2021 09:30 AM | Seth Rodgers


THE RUGER MAX-9 SHOWS OFF AFFORDABLE FEATURES IN FIRST 100 ROUNDS

GET A RUGER MAX-9

Ruger, unlike some other companies, doesn’t seem to give a lot of notice before
they drop a new product. You just wake up one day and Ruger has a new handgun
available, this seemed to be the case with the Ruger Max-9 which sprang to life
seemingly overnight earlier this year. The Max-9 is clearly aimed at offering a
low-cost option to the burgeoning micro-compact pistol market. I got a chance to
lay my hands on a Max-9 and have put just over 100 rounds through it and these
are my first impressions.
 


ERGONOMICS AND SPECS


For being a micro-compact concealed carry gun, this fits the hand very well.
With the extended magazine in the gun, I can get a full and secure grip on the
gun and it leaves a little space for the support hand as well. The grip texture
is a minimal texture that is carried over from some of Ruger’s other lines such
as the Ruger-57. While it’s not my favorite grip texture - I would like a little
more grippiness - it’s still good enough to get the job done.

like the Ruger-57. (Photo: Seth Rodgers/Guns.com)


All the controls are easy enough to access and manipulate with a single hand
which is a big plus. I had difficulty dropping the slide on an empty mag but
with a round in the mag, I didn’t seem to have any issues. The mags drop free
and Ruger ships both a 10 round and 12 round mag with your purchase. 

Check out the other specs below for how this gun stacks up:

 * Caliber: 9mm
 * Capacity: 10+1 or 12+1
 * Barrel Length: 3.2 inches
 * Overall Length: 6 inches
 * Weight: 18.4 ounces
 * Width: 0.95 inches
 * Height: 4.52 inches

 

GRAB A MAX-9 TODAY!

 


THE BIG PROS OF THE MAX-9


There are a few areas where the Max-9 really wins. The first is the sights that
come stock with the gun. This pistol features a black-out rear sight and a
really nice fiber optic front sight. The sights are certainly appreciated, and
the front sight picks up really quickly when getting on target. On top of being
really bright, the front sight is also quite large. This all added up to getting
on target quickly and accurately.

The second big positive the Ruger Max-9 has going for is its red dot ready with
options for direct mounting JPoint or Shield Sights mounted optics. While other
companies, such as Springfield and Sig, have released micro-compacts that are
red dot compatible they come with an additional price tag, whereas the Max-9 is
ready to go out of the box.
 

Another big plus about the Ruger Max-9 is that it comes red dot ready out of the
box with direct mounting options for JPoint and Shield Sights. (Photo: Seth
Rodgers/Guns.com)


The last big positive of the Max-9 is the slide serrations. These are again
carried over from other popular Ruger staples and I think they are good stock
serrations. Are they the best, most aggressive ever? No, but for a
budget-friendly pistol, they are really good and more than capable of getting
the job done. When compared to the other micro-compacts out there today I think
these are the best among the competition.
 

FIND A NEW MAX-9!

 


TRIGGER TIME AND THE FIRST 100 ROUNDS


Let’s get to the good stuff, the trigger time. Let me start this by saying that
I’ve never been overly impressed by a Ruger trigger, and there have been some
that I have downright hated, but then again these are marketed as budget
pistols, so I shouldn’t expect the moon. The Max-9 comes in with a trigger that
once again isn’t overly impressive but certainly better than the LC9s series of
pistols.
 

There’s a bit of mush to get through at the top of the trigger pull, nothing
egregious, but it’s there and should be expected on a budget pistol. Once you
hit the wall it breaks cleanly and doesn’t take any effort more than what it
took to get through the mush. The reset isn’t the shortest, but it does provide
a nice tactile feel and audible click which is always a positive for any
concealed carry handgun. The trigger is curved and also features an integrated
trigger safety.

Accuracy for the first 100 rounds was certainly good enough for concealed carry
work. While I can group some of the other micro-compacts on the market a little
better, I had no issues at all placing groups inside what would be vital areas
at 25 feet. This qualifies the Max-9 to be more than accurate enough for
concealed carry work right out of the gate. Adding a red dot up top and a little
more time with the gun and I think I can get the groups to tighten up a little
more.
 


CONCLUSION


A hundred rounds aren’t nearly enough for me to definitively say whether I would
carry or recommend carrying this gun but it’s enough for a good first impression
which is what the Max-9 left me with. If you’re looking for a micro-compact
concealed carry pistol with a price that's easy on the wallet, then the Max-9
may just be the gun for you. Stay tuned to Guns.com as we continue to run this
little handgun through its paces.

Review by Steele T. on 20 Jan 2022 review stating I was surprised by how
I was surprised by how easy the process was. I even made a quick call to the FFL
dealer that I had the firearm sent to and they knew guns.com would have their
number on file. So a click of the button and a ten second phone call was all it
took. Shipping was quite quick as well. About a week from across the country.
