Ruger MAX-9 9mm Black/Black 12+1 with Manual Safety

At Tactical Cowboy Outdoors, we recognize the need for a pistol that combines effortless concealment with serious firepower. The Ruger MAX-9 9mm delivers on both counts. This striker-fired micro-compact easily slips into an IWB holster but carries a 12+1 capacity—a game-changer in its class.

Demonstrated Expertise & Experience

In our range testing, the MAX-9 immediately stands out for its short, crisp trigger pull and reliable performance, which is a significant upgrade in this category of concealed carry pistols. The slim profile and moderate recoil make it comfortable and manageable for a wide range of shooters. The grip texture provides positive control without being overly aggressive against the skin when carrying concealed.

Key Features Engineered for Performance

• Optics Ready Slide: The integral slide cut is ready to accept popular micro red dots (e.g., J-Point and Shield footprint), allowing for rapid target acquisition and improved accuracy, a crucial benefit for defensive situations.

• Intuitive Manual Safety: This model includes an accessible, low-profile manual safety, providing an extra layer of confidence and control for carriers who prefer this feature.

• Exceptional Capacity: Ships with both an 11-round and a 12-round extended magazine, ensuring you have ample firepower when it matters most.

• Tritium Fiber Optic Sight: The combination of the bright, easy-to-see tritium front sight with a drift-adjustable rear sight guarantees reliable performance in all lighting conditions.

The MAX-9 is more than just a compact handgun; it’s a complete self-defense system built with Ruger’s proven reliability. It serves as an excellent primary carry weapon or a capable backup for professional use.
