About the Ruger Max-9
The Max-9 is Ruger's micro-compact 9mm, sized to carry 12 rounds in a grip barely wider than the single-stack pistols it replaces. An optics-ready slide lets owners mount a micro red dot without a separate milling job, a 3.2-inch barrel shortens the dust cover for appendix carry, and unloaded weight stays near 25 ounces. A high-visibility front sight and serrated rear notch come standard, a manual-safety version offers an external lever for buyers who want one, and magazine extensions add a finger's worth of purchase to the grip.
