The Ruger Max-9 Optic Ready is a compact 9mm semi-automatic pistol with a 3.2-inch barrel, a 6-inch overall length and a weight of 18.4 ounces. It holds 12+1 rounds in a glass-filled nylon polymer frame, and the through-hardened alloy steel slide is optic ready. The striker-fired action gives a short trigger pull and a clean break, and fiber optic sights sit on the slide.
The Max-9 is designed for concealed carry, with a slim profile that keeps the pistol close to the body while still carrying a useful magazine. The optic-ready slide suits a shooter who wants a micro red dot for faster aiming. Handgun buyers must be 21 or older, and state permit and waiting rules apply at pickup before you take it home.
