(5 out of 5) Ruger Max-9 offers great value in a compact semi-auto.
by Steve from Columbus, OH on September 9, 2025

After putting one hundred rounds through my newly purchased Max-9, I am very impressed. It functioned flawlessly with 50 rounds each of 124 and 147 gr FMJ ammo. I shot targets at 15, 20, 25, and 30 feet and was accurate at all distances. Recoil was even less than I had expected. I will try some HP next time, but expect no issues. The detail, fit, and finish of the gun is excellent and equals that of handguns that cost much more. Even the Ruger mags are well made. Only flaw is the slide release lever is a bit small, so pulling back to rack the slide works better. An outstanding gun for a small price that I will be happy to make my ccw.
