Max-9 over EC9S?

Lesserof2elvis · Mar 28, 2024

Does anyone here have both an EC9S and a Max-9? Asking, as I love my EC9S and my LCP Max, both in terms of CC ease and shootability. But...
...I'm considering getting a Max-9 for the added capacity. (The front sight is nice, too -- I'm not concerned about optics at the moment, but that is also a nice touch.) I'm wondering how the Max-9 "carries" as compared to the EC9S.
What do you think? Is the Max-9 worth the purchase, versus just carrying an extra magazine for the EC9S?
Thanks in advance!

Had a LC9s-Pro for a lot of years and really liked it.

Had a LC9 and currently have a EC9s. Love them both. The EC9s extra mag was/is good enough for me when I use it.
*I went with the Sig P365 years ago for the additional rounds, security and reliability.
*You have to decide for yourself after some research if the Max-9 fits your needs. Some here love the Max-9. WE each have different needs and situations. Nice to have safe options with today's offerings.

EDIT/APPEND to post#3
An additional mag 7 or 9 round works for me. As I stated years ago, I went with the Sig P365 for additional round count so when Ruger offered the Max-9 I was in no need of one.
*Both my range buddies have had the Max-9 for over 90 days plus and both really like them. Take some time and see what works for you. Save your money and get what works safely for you.

Added capacity is meaningless until you need it. That is why my EDC has a fifteen round mag rather then a ten.
