“The Max-9 is a good blend between function and concealability. Its capacity is competitive for the size and the price is hard to beat.” – Sean Curtis

Ruger MAX-9 Features




By The Numbers - Ruger MAX-9
Accuracy
Shooting 3-round groups from 7 yards produced groups that ranged from 2 to 3 inches.
Reliability
For the limited test of roughly 200 rounds, the Max-9 had no malfunctions.
Customization
There are a limited number of accessories you can add to the Max-9, though it is optics ready.
Ergonomics
Controls were easy to reach. Ergonomics were decent, but steered more towards concealability rather than comfort. The gun feels better with the longer 12-round magazine.

final verdict
“Ruger has created a pistol that is sure to be popular among concealed carriers. Although it’s a bit small for me, the gun ran well and was accurate once I got used to the trigger. The reliability was good during our limited test and the price is very competitive for a 12-round, optics-ready, micro compact.” – Sean Curtis
