Customer Comments & Questions

Customer Reviews

(5 out of 5) Best Price
by David from Bensalem, PA on August 26, 2023

Great gun, can’t beat the price!

(5 out of 5) Great carry weapon.
by Doug from Crystal, MN on February 10, 2024

I have to admit, the first time I shot it, it seemed bucky recoil for a 9, but after a couple more times, I found it controllable and very accurate, especially with the extended mag. I would recommend it for those with a somewhat strong grip.

(1 out of 5) Horrible trigger. Failure.
by Travis from Tahlequah, OK on December 17, 2024

The trigger has miles of movement left to right, and if you do not pull it completely straight back it will catch and not be able to pull. Horrible design flaw. This could get people killed. Lowest rating . Super disappointed.

(4 out of 5) Ruger Max-9 - great carry gun
by Mr P from Denver, CO on January 23, 2025

Very nice pistol. Good size and feel. Feeds all ammo I've put through. Very accurate out of the box. Conceals easily and has a 12-round magazine. Plus, it's optic ready and easy to mount. Con: Trigger is my least favorite part of this pistol. They should have made it a flat trigger. I only had issues when wearing gloves and getting my finger to press the safety correctly. Without gloves, never had an issue.
