It feels great in the hand and way better than a Glock. I run it as it came in the box.

During the week I carry a Staccato HD P4 because I carry it in my professional backpack so the weight doesn't matter.
On the weekend I carry either a G19 with a Faxon barrel and Holosun dot
Or I carry a Ruger LCP Max with a spare mag in a Neomag holder. I either carry it in my pocket in a Galco pocket holster or IWB in a 1791 Leather holster
Outside of work, I probably carry the G19 the most because I carry it in a CCW fannypack (can't remember which one) so I can take my other things with me, like reading glasses, Burt's, carbon fiber "Sharpie" and a Tq.

Man, I absolutely love the Ruger LCP Max. I wrote an article on it in 2025. It’s such a great size for the amount of rounds you get. Have you found a good holster for it?During the week I carry a Staccato HD P4 because I carry it in my professional backpack so the weight doesn't matter.

Your article was one of the reasons I got mine, so thank you! I have two IWB holsters for it, a kydex one from DeSantis and a leather one from 1791. While I generally prefer kydex holsters, the DeSantis one sits a little too high. The 1791 holster is very secure and very comfortable. That's the one I use the most. For pocket carry, I use a Galco Pocket Protector which is great. With the spare magazine in a Neomag clip in my other pocket, I have an easy 21 round carry, all day every day.
The 1791 holster is very comfortable because the leather comes up over the butt of the pistol which keeps it from digging into my stomach.
When I first got my Max, it was tough to get the magazines to accepts 10 rounds. Now that they're broken in, it's easy. Also, I don't know about yours, but mine had a little manufacturing ridge inside the trigger guard which would irritate my trigger finger after about 20 rounds. I busted out my Dremel and smoothed it out, making shooting it much more enjoyable.
I have the brown version of the same 1791 holster and have been happy with everything I have gotten from 1791, especially for the price.Your article was one of the reasons I got mine, so thank you!

You should also take a look at the MFT Minimalist holsters. They copied the Veil Ghost holsters and require a clip swap, but they’re not bad when configured correctly. I always use Discreet Carry Concepts for the best belt clips.

I will check them out. The MFT looks a lot like the DeSantis I have.
