About this product
The Ruger LCP MAX, model 13753, is a micro-compact .380 ACP pistol built with a 2.8-inch stainless steel barrel, a serrated stainless slide, and a black polymer frame, and this package includes a holster, two magazines, and a magazine loader. At just 10.6 ounces unloaded, it's built specifically for pocket and deep-concealment carry.
What sets the LCP MAX apart from the original Ruger LCP?
The MAX increased magazine capacity to 10+1 rounds — roughly double what the original LCP line offered — while keeping the pistol's overall footprint close to Ruger's established pocket-pistol dimensions. That capacity jump, combined with a flush-fitting extended magazine option and improved sights, is the core reason the LCP MAX has become one of the more popular micro-.380s since its release, appealing to buyers who want more rounds on tap without moving up to a larger carry gun.
What's included in this specific package?
This listing includes a holster, two magazines, and a magazine loader alongside the pistol itself — a genuinely complete carry setup out of the box rather than requiring separate purchases just to start carrying the gun day one. The pistol uses a tritium front sight with a white outline for low-light target acquisition and a drift-adjustable rear sight.
Does the 10-round capacity affect a California purchase?
The 10-round capacity itself falls within California's detachable magazine limit, so that's not a barrier here. California does maintain its own roster of handguns cleared for retail sale by licensed dealers, and confirming current roster status for this specific model with your FFL before ordering is still worthwhile, since not every micro-compact pistol on the broader market is listed.
How does delivery and FFL transfer work?
As a firearm, the LCP MAX ships to a licensed FFL dealer for pickup, not to your home address, where you'll complete a background check and the standard transfer paperwork.
Ruger has iterated on the LCP line for over a decade specifically to address the tradeoffs micro-.380 shooters care most about — trigger feel, sight visibility, and magazine capacity relative to overall size — and the MAX represents the most refined version of that ongoing development to date. At 5.17 inches overall and 4.12 inches tall, it remains genuinely pocketable while offering meaningfully more rounds than earlier-generation micro-.380s from Ruger and other manufacturers. For a buyer whose primary concern is finding the smallest gun they'll actually carry consistently, while still wanting more capacity than a typical 6-round pocket .380, the LCP MAX addresses that tradeoff about as well as anything currently on the market, and having the holster and extra magazine included here removes the usual first-week shopping list that comes with a new carry gun purchase.
A magazine loader is a small but genuinely useful inclusion on a micro-.380 like this, since seating the last round or two into a small, high-tension pocket-pistol magazine by hand can be uncomfortable and slow without a tool built for it — an easy detail to overlook until you're standing at the range trying to load your third magazine before your hands get tired. The included holster gives a functional carry option from day one, though many owners eventually move to a holster from a dedicated concealed-carry maker once they've settled on a preferred carry position (appendix, pocket, or ankle), since a bundled holster is typically a reasonable general-purpose option rather than one built around your exact body type and clothing choices.
FFL transfer required
This item is a firearm and ships only to a licensed FFL dealer, never to a home address. At checkout, enter your preferred dealer as the shipping address, or leave it blank and we will assign a licensed dealer near you at no extra cost. You complete the background check and paperwork with the dealer when you pick up.
California buyers: handguns must be on the California roster for delivery to a California FFL, a Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) and DROS are handled at the dealer, and the 10-day waiting period applies. Out-of-state buyers receive the firearm through their own local FFL under their state's rules.
