The Ruger Max-9 is a slim, lightweight 9mm semi-automatic pistol designed for discreet everyday carry and personal protection. Its striker-fired action provides a short trigger pull, clean break, and positive reset, while the 3.20-inch cold hammer-forged alloy steel barrel is built for accuracy and long service life. The through-hardened alloy steel slide has a Black Oxide finish and supports direct mounting of compatible JPoint and Shield-pattern micro red dot sights. A tritium fiber optic front sight provides high visibility in changing light, paired with a drift-adjustable rear sight. The glass-filled nylon grip frame and Hogue Beavertail HandALL grip sleeve add texture, finger grooves, palm support, and control. Integrated trigger and manual safeties, an internal striker blocker, and a chamber inspection port provide layered handling safeguards.
