Manufacturer announcement: 2026-04-29.
Ruger announced an LCP MAX configuration with Magpul’s Enhanced Handgun Grip on April 29. The company presents the model as a continuation of its collaboration with Magpul and an extension of the LCP MAX family.
According to the launch release, the initial configuration includes a manual safety, a 10-round magazine and a new 13-round magazine developed for the EHG. Ruger attributes changes in grip comfort and control to the new frame design.
Those performance descriptions are the manufacturer’s claims. An announcement establishes what the company has introduced and how it describes the design; it does not replace an independently documented evaluation.
The official photo accompanying this update shows the Magpul EHG configuration, rather than a generic LCP MAX. Gunfire has not tested this model. The original April release is linked below, and readers should consult the current manufacturer information for specifications and availability.
