Ruger LCP MAX

Ruger · Introduced 2021

Ruger lists the LCP MAX model 13758 as a recoil-operated .380 Auto pocket pistol with a 2.8 in barrel, an alloy steel slide in black nitride on a glass-filled nylon grip frame, a tritium front sight with white outline, a ReadyDot Micro Reflex rear sight and a 10-round magazine.

Scope note: THIS RECORD COVERS MODEL 13758 SPECIFICALLY, THE READYDOT-EQUIPPED CONFIGURATION.

It is the catalogue number whose specification object Ruger embeds on its LCP MAX models page. The page displays ten more (13718, 13719, 13740, 13754, 13760, 13764, 13765, 13766, 13778 and 23702), and each now links its own spec sheet, but none of 13758's measurements may be carried across to them. They differ by slide finish, by manual-safety configuration, and in one case by capacity (23702 is a 13+1 model where the rest are 10+1). All are separate listings under the base-model rule. The distinguishing feature of 13758 is its ReadyDot Micro Reflex rear sight. A reader wanting the plain iron-sighted LCP MAX should use that model's own spec sheet, not this record. RE-VERIFIED 2026-09-30, AND FIVE THINGS CHANGED. (1) RUGER PUBLISHES METRIC. The per-model spec sheet (specSheets/13758.html) prints barrel, length, slide width and weight in both systems, so those values are recorded as published and are not flagged. Ruger truncates its metric: 5.17 in is 131.3 mm and is printed 13.1 cm; 11 oz is 311.8 g and is printed 311 g. Height is printed as 4.52 in with no metric figure, so its millimetre value is still this directory's conversion and is still flagged. (2) OVERALL WIDTH IS REMOVED. The spec sheet labels the 0.75 in / 19 mm figure "Slide Width", so it is not an overall width (the Desert Eagle and Shield Plus rule). (3) THE YEAR IS NOW THE LINE'S. The August record gave 2025, from the `introDate` (2025-10-06) of catalogue number 13758, and said no launch source had been consulted. Ruger's release "Ruger Takes the LCP Platform to the MAX with the Introduction of the LCP MAX Pistol" (June 30, 2021) introduces the model by name, so year introduced is 2021, the MAX-9 precedent. Read 2025 as the date 13758 joined the line. Ruger's May 27, 2026 release introduces the ReadyDot sight as an accessory for the LCP MAX; it does not introduce this model. (4) OPERATING SYSTEM IS RECORDED. The instruction manual (PDF p. 11) calls the LCP MAX "a compact, centerfire, Secure Action, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol", so operating system is recoil-operated, footnoted to the manual. `system` carries "Secure Action", Ruger's trademarked name for the fire-control system as the spec sheet prints it, as on the Security-9. Ignition stays unset. The spec sheet and manual say the Secure Action system "combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger", which names a component; unlike the Security-9 manual, this manual's firing procedure (PDF p. 22) never says the trigger releases the hammer. That is the FN Five-seveN call. Trigger action is unset: Ruger publishes no trigger mode. (5) THE WARRANTY IS RECORDED. The spec sheet's Instruction Manual link (dataProcess/manual/fetch.php/ms/13758/) resolves to the LCP MAX manual (revision 4/2026 R6), not the manual-safety edition. Its last page (PDF p. 48) says Ruger "has elected not to provide any written warranty, either 'limited' or 'full'", which is recorded as the warranty, the same as on the other Ruger records. The slide finish is recorded because Ruger's slide-specific field reads "Black Nitride". Height and weight carry basis notes because Ruger states neither's magazine state. Also published and unrecorded for want of a schema field: a 1:16 twist with 6 grooves, an alloy steel slide, a black glass-filled nylon grip frame, a black nitride barrel finish, UPC 7-36676-13758-9, the $449.00 suggested retail price, and Ruger's explicit discontinued flag, which reads 0.

Verification boundary: Published technical data are rounded, may not reflect manufacturing tolerances, and may change without notice. MSRP is not recorded: most cited product pages do publish a price, but it changes without notice and independently of the specification, so this directory has no field for it and the row stays blank rather than carrying a figure that would silently go stale. Values marked ≈ were converted by this directory from the unit system the source published; the unmarked figure in the same row is the published one.

Evidence tiers backing this record: Manufacturer. Unmarked values come from manufacturer documentation; any value drawn from a lower tier is labeled inline with that tier. Where two sources disagreed, the higher tier was recorded and the disagreement noted.

Common questions

Answered from this record's cited fields only. Where a manufacturer publishes nothing on a subject, the question is not asked rather than answered with a blank.

01What caliber is the Ruger LCP MAX?

The Ruger LCP MAX is chambered in .380 ACP. Ruger writes it as 380 Auto. Ammunition should match the exact chambering marked on the firearm.

02How many rounds does the Ruger LCP MAX hold?

Ruger lists a 10-round standard magazine for the LCP MAX. Ruger lists no optional capacities for this record. These are magazine capacities; a round carried in the chamber is not counted here.

03What is the barrel length of the Ruger LCP MAX?

04What are the dimensions of the Ruger LCP MAX?

Ruger publishes length 131, height ≈114.8 mm / length 5.17, height 4.52 in (height: magazine state not stated by Ruger; width not published). Any measurement basis shown is the manufacturer's own qualifier; where none is shown, the manufacturer states none.

05How much does the Ruger LCP MAX weigh?

Ruger publishes 311 g / 11 oz (magazine state not stated by Ruger).

06Is the Ruger LCP MAX striker-fired?

Ruger publishes "Secure Action" as its own name for the action and does not classify an ignition type for the LCP MAX. This directory records the manufacturer's wording and leaves the ignition field empty rather than inferring a classification the source does not state.

07When was the Ruger LCP MAX introduced?

2021, per the source cited on this record. Where a manufacturer publishes no dated announcement, this directory records no year rather than estimating one.

08Does the Ruger LCP MAX have a warranty?

Ruger states: No written warranty: Ruger states it has elected not to provide any written warranty, either limited or full, and refers owners to the implied warranties of their state's law. Terms are as published at the date this record was checked and may vary by region.
