Ruger MAX-9 Pro 9mm | 3.2″ | Optic Ready | 3503

The Ruger MAX-9 Pro is a compact, striker-fired 9mm pistol designed around concealability and modern optics integration. It features an optic-ready, serrated alloy-steel slide and a 3.20″ cold hammer-forged barrel for consistent performance in a small package. The Pro model ships without an external manual safety and includes both a 12-round and a 10-round magazine. For a co-witnessed micro red dot under $1,000, consider a Shield-pattern optic such as the Shield RMSc.

Common applications include everyday concealed carry (EDC) and dry-fire / live-fire range training where compact size and optic compatibility are priorities.
