I'd love to see this happen too!!!

My Max 9 has become my main carry. The only other pistol I still carry from time to time, is it's little cousin the LCP Max in .380. For the last two months, these are the only two I've carried. I use a OWB 1791 leather holster, trimmed so the CT1550 RDS fits or a kydex paddle holster. I will soon be getting a couple of better holsters for it.

Try Crossroads Firearms on Broadway. Good folks there!

Just wanted to add a bit to this. My grandfather started me shooting with the 67 when I was four. He and my grandmother lived off Delrose Drive, in East Knoxville, right up against the city limits. Amazingly enough, the police were never called by their neighbors. Those were different times, but firing a gun in the city limits was still illegal back then. He would set up beer cans at the base of a tall, thick pine tree and then I would shoot at them with the Winchester 67. I wasn't big enough or strong enough to hold the rifle up, so I would rest it on a tall stool. At the beginning he would also have to chamber and pull the plunger back on the bolt for me. But as I got bigger, I was able to do it myself. We spent many weekends, shooting that rifle, in the back yard! It started my love of firearms!

GF4, you are correct. That is exactly how I do it.
-
Mine was a Winchester Model 67 single shot .22LR rifle.

In all honesty, that maybe how I do it to. When I made my statement, I was at the hospital with my dad (he had cancer surgery today) and was trying to remember how I did it. I know that sounds stupid, but it’s mostly muscle memory, for me. Also I don’t carry a revolver much. When I get home tomorrow, I’m going to pull out my 442 and run through it several times and see exactly how I do it.

No problem! It was a mental exercise for me, thinking through the steps. What might be nice is if you borrowed some else’s revolver, to practice with. Even if it was a .22. That actually might be a good thing to use, because it will make you use your fine motor skills. Sort of a therapy, if you will.

As I read that. I think that’s how I unload and load a revolver, being right handed. 1. I transfer the empty revolver to my left hand. Just cradling the gun in my left hand. 2. Push the cylinder release with my right thumb. At the same time pushing the cylinder out with my left hand Birdie and ring fingers, while still holding the revolver in my left had. 3. I use my right palm to slap the ejector rod. That might be tricky for you, because you need a good hold on the revolver with your left hand. 4. I load the revolver with my right hand, while holding it in my left hand. 5. Once loaded, I close the cylinder with my left thumb and/or right hand. 6. Then transfer the revolver to my right hand to shoot. That’s my manual of arms for loading a revolver, as I went through it in my mind.

Been several times. I believe they have some right now for $14.50 a box.

Hey Legion, the link isn't working, at least for me.
-
Rural King in Halls had it for around $20 a box of 50.
-
This is great price!!! GLWS!
-
Great shooting rifles! I used to compete with one.

Are you planning on adding a reddot on it later on? One of the reasons I bought this one was to try out a reddot sight, which this one came with. Been very happy with it so far! This came with the Crimson Trace CT1550. I find it very easy to pick up and the iron sights co-witness nicely with it as well. Next thing to pick up is a holster. I have two I use as stop gaps, but I'm looking for a nice paddle holster for it.

I owned the LCP and I now own a LCP Max (.380 acp). It's true that the Max grip is wider, but the increase is negligible, but the additional 5 rounds (in 12 round mag) is not. The trigger is much better too. It's zero issues. I couldn't say that about the LCP. The LCP Max became my favorite carry pistol, until I bought the LCP Max 9. I still carry it on occasion, when I need to go lighter. Of course the OP was asking about the LCP Max 9. which is a larger version of the LCP MAX in 9mm.

If you carry a phone, they are really kinda outdated.

I got mine last month. It has the Crimson Trace CT1550 reddot on it and I couldn't be happier! The iron sights co-witness well with it! The front night sight is easy to pick up in low light. I think the trigger is as good as the LC9S (cause it's the same trigger) and has no pinch like my LCP Max does. So far it's been flawless with 115FMJ and 147JHPs. I profess that I do not pocket carry it (it's a bit big for my likes in that regard), but it rides and conceals well on my belt with either IWB or OWB great! Extra mags are best purchased directly from Ruger.
-
I'm not so familiar with the 44 mag, but in .357, the powder typically burns out in a 16" barrel, so that's the optimum length for a .357. I would suspect the the .44 mag as well. But I profess that I could be totally off base with that assumption. Shorter is also lighter and faster handling.
-
Shorter is probably better will a pistol caliber cabine.

I don't think there is an end all, be all revolver. But I don't think there is a end all, be all semi-auto either. Whatever revolver that feels and shoots the best for you is what you should get. Personally, I find the SP101 too heavy for carry, with only a five shot capacity. True, it's built like a tank, and it may have the fewest working parts, but I would hazard a guess that 99% of us have zero need to every take a revolver apart to work on one. I'm 59 years old and I never have. My first revolver was a S&W Model 13 with a 4" barrel. It was a good accurate revolver. So was Model 10 that was a TDOC trade-in. So was the Ruger GP100 6" in SS and the several SP101s I've owned over the years. Along with the S&W Model 36 and 38. Really loved the little Colt Agent, but I traded it away for Mossberg 590 shotgun. Also had a little S&W Model 32 that was an accurate little snubbie. The last two are the ones I most regret trading away. Right now I have a S&W 442 and a Taurus 627 Tracker. Love both of those and am perfectly happy. But I hazard another guess and will say that both of those are very libel to be traded away on something else, at some point. But I'd be happy with any of those that I listed above.

I went a couple of decades without wearing one, until I got this Armitron. Still don’t wear it every day.

I wear a gray and orange digital Armitron Prosport watch that I picked up at a flea market, three years ago for $10. I've never changed the battery in it. Runs great!!! Plan to replace it with a new one when the battery dies. Not even going to try to change the battery out. Kohl's sells them new for $20 now. Does everything I need it too, which is tell time and date.
