Love the green dot too! 6 months ago ** ** ** ** ** ** Verified Customer Great price on a great firearm! 7 months ago ** ** ** ** ** ** Matthew Coconut Creek, FL Best price and fast, Free Shipping from Kygunco.com. I received my Max-9 just as described in the description. I mounted the Viridian RFX11 on the slide and it was ready to go. The Max-9, fits really well in my hand and tucks well in my IWB holster. I ran Blazer 124gr FMJ, and a variety of defensive ammo. The Max-9 ate it all up and ran flawlessly. I shot a total of 100 rounds. In my opinion, the Max-9 is a great concealed carry gun. It comes with Glock style, front and rear, white dot, iron sights (compatable with Glock aftermarket sights) and is accurate with the sights, as well as the Viridian RFX11 green dot optic. It has a 3.2” barrel and if you are not accustomed to shooting smaller guns, or have a weak grip, you may find it a bit snappy. For me, the Ruger Max-9 is a great addition to my EDC rotation. 7 months ago ** ** ** ** ** ** Braden Riverton, UT Optic works great, great fit for my hands, best price online. 10/29/2025 ** ** ** ** ** ** Michael Aledo, IL Before I ordered this gun, the description said that the optic was already installed on it. It was not. It said it came with one 10-rnd magazine. It came with a 12-rnd mag. I bought two other 12-rnd factory mags and went to the range. I loaded one Federal HST 124 gr hollow point in the mag and hit the slide release....failure to feed, right off the bat. Tried it again by retracting the slide this time, same thing. Then I put a fully loaded mag of FMJ and it worked as it should. Then another fully loaded mag with FMJ, and another failure to feed. I sent the gun to Ruger on 7/28/2025 for evaluation/repair. I wanted this gun for concealed carry because it has some great features on it, but I must have 100% reliability for a carry gun, and this is not it. 7/29/2025 ** ** ** ** ** ** Robert Jacksonville, FL Never having fired or owned a Ruger firearm I found the opportunity appropriate and am pleased with the purchase. Having received it through my favorite FFL I found it to be of excellent quality and am pleased that I purchased it through KY Guns. The green dot sight wasn't quite what I expected, but reasonable considering what the package cost. Kentucky Guns are an absolutely great company to make a purchase from. I recommend them highly. A definite 5 star firearm and company. 7/16/2025 ** ** ** ** ** ## Don't Forget Your Ammo ```json
