First Look: Ruger LCP MAX With Magpul Enhanced Grip

Ruger has just launched a new LCP MAX variant sporting a Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip.

The Ruger LCP MAX in .380 Auto is one of the most popular pocket pistols on the market, and Magpul just helped make it better. At its core, it’s the same LCP MAX you know and love, but now with a greater capacity and improved shootability.

Now sporting a Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip in Stealth Gray, the new LCP MAX features Magpul’s 3/4-scale TSP texturing on the grip for improved control. It also ships with a flush-fit 10-round mag as well as an extended 13-round magazine with a matching integrated Magpul grip extension. This not only increases your capacity, but it also allows you to get a better grip on the pistol to enhance its shootability. Aesthetically, the slide has also been slightly redesigned to resemble that of the 9mm RXM’s. Despite the change in looks, the slide serrations are still crisp while facilitating a snag-free draw.

The rest of the LCP MAX Magpul EHG variant is the same as the standard model. That includes its tritium front sight/U-notch rear sight, improved internals and reversible magazine release. It also has both a manual thumb safety and Ruger’s Secure Action fire-control system that uses a bladed-safety trigger.

The Ruger LCP MAX with the Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip has an MSRP of $450 and each pistol ships with a soft pocket holster and a magazine loader.
