Ruger LCP Max EHG: CADRE NEWS

Cory Ross

The Ruger RXM caused a stir upon its release (in a good way). The gun is based on the Glock Gen 3 pattern but has some unique specifications of its own. One notable feature is Ruger’s partnership with Magpul on the Enhanced Handgun Grip (EHG). This modular frame can be swapped out in various colors and sizes. And like any other Magpul polymer product you own (like AR-15 magazines), you know it’s durable and going to hold up.

But Ruger isn’t stopping with the RXM. They are now partnering with Magpul on a new project: the LCP MAX EHG

SPECS

Built through Ruger’s continuous partnership with Magpul Industries, the LCP MAX with Magpul EHG delivers the trusted performance shooters rely on, now enhanced with a high-quality grip frame designed for better control, comfort, and consistency.

FEATURES

Sturm, Ruger & Company expands the LCP MAX lineup with a new variant featuring the Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip (EHG), offering enhanced control and ergonomics for the ultra-compact platform. Developed in collaboration with Magpul Industries, this new configuration retains the lightweight, easy-to-carry profile of the original LCP MAX while introducing a redesigned grip frame to improve comfort, handling, and shooting consistency.

The pistol is offered with a manual safety and ships with both a 10-round magazine and a newly developed 13-round magazine specifically designed for the EHG frame. Built on the foundation of the LCP MAX’s increased capacity and enhanced shootability compared to earlier models, this version reflects continued refinement of the platform, pairing proven performance with a more secure, controllable interface for everyday carry.

ZOOMING OUT

The RXM with the Magpul EHG has been a huge success. It makes sense that Ruger is double-dipping by adding the EHG to an existing model. The LCP MAX is already popular, so why not make it even better?
