LGS has them at a pretty good price. I can get a pair of them. They are $217 each. My son doesn’t have a micro compact and at the moment, neither do I. They will get carried a lot and shot a little. I am checking Somme other LGS’s as well For prices.

I have a P85 coming this weekend that I’m going to give my son. I am also going to get him an RXM later in the year. The MAX 9’s are on sale now. I would still have to buy some 0 rounders mags for the Max 9 and the P85.

I am also checking on. Ruger 57. Neither of us have a 5.7 pistol.

It is the same upper as the LC9s Which I carried for 7 years. I think Ruger did a good job increasing The magazine capacity without changing the the size of the pistol much. I pocket carry and a little change in size makes a lot of difference in comfort and feel. So if I needed to replace my LC9s it wouldn't be with a Max 9 because the LC9s is still my TSA checked luggage firearm. But for $217:unsure:

I bought mine about 4 months ago here in California, so it has a loaded chamber indicator and is not optics ready. I am used to full size hand guns, so it took some getting used to shooting a micro/sub-compact pistol. In the beginning, I was shooting low left and first thought it was the gun. After shooting it several times, it turns out it was just me. I had to adjust my grip and control my trigger pull. So far, have shot 350 rounds though it. The only times I experienced a misfeed was when I was using Fiocchi 115 grain FMJ. Had no issue with CCI Blazer, Winchester white box, and PMC Bronze. It will be my CCW when I get my license. Overall, I'm happy with it. A lot of value for the price.
