Ruger LCP MAX
Best compact carry option for everyday concealed protection.
This ultra-compact carry piece maximizes capacity without sacrificing pocketability, making it a top-tier choice for daily concealment. While the snappy recoil of such a small frame demands practice to master, the significant jump in round count over traditional micro-pistols makes it a serious upgrade for everyday defense.
