Ruger, MAX-9, 9mm Pistol, 4″ Sub-Compact, Black (RUMAX-9-LONG)

The Ruger MAX-9 is a compact, striker-fired 9mm pistol engineered for everyday carry and personal protection. Designed to deliver maximum performance in a micro-sized footprint, the MAX-9 offers excellent concealability without sacrificing capacity or features. Built on a durable polymer frame, this lightweight handgun includes two magazines—one 12-round and one 10-round—giving you up to 12+1 rounds of 9mm Luger ammunition.

The 4″ barrel is finished in rugged black oxide, ensuring long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance. The pistol is optic-ready, allowing direct mounting of co-witnessed JPoint and Shield-pattern micro red dot sights. Out of the box, the Tritium Fiber Optic (TFO) front night sight delivers high visibility in both daylight and low-light conditions, paired with a drift-adjustable rear sight for quick target acquisition.

The MAX-9 features a short, smooth trigger pull with a clean break and positive reset, enhancing accuracy and control during rapid fire. The medium-textured grip provides a comfortable, secure hold even under stress. A thumb safety adds an extra layer of security for carry confidence.

Whether you’re new to concealed carry or a seasoned firearms enthusiast, the Ruger MAX-9 delivers reliability, affordability, and modern carry-ready performance in a slim, sub-compact package.
