I bought the LCP Max when they first came available and they fill the void of always have a gun on you because it fits good in my Wrangler or cargo pants front pocket. I wouldn’t want to try and stop a mass shooter with it, I can hit good with it close but move out to 20 yards and my groups open up. I would like to have a dollar for everyone Ruger has sold through the years.
Ruger pretty much destroyed Keltecs mini handgun market when they came out with the LCP.
I first had a SeeCamp 32 acp. Not reliable at all.
Then I bought a KelTec 32acp. Fed fine with FMJ stuff.
Then I got the KelTec P3AT in 380. It was ok, but I like the Ruger LCP much better.
Like I said. I’ll eventually get a LCP Max 380.
Probably keep my original LCP, too, though. It’s been with me a long long time.
