I don't ever see this posted about before. Besides the visible external improvements (capacity, sights, ergonomics, extractor) there is also a notable improvement in construction. The LCP II sear pin pivot is part of the polymer grip frame, but in the LCP MAX the aluminum frame extends down further in the grip and contains the sear pivot. I think this increases strength over the LCP II which pivots in the polymer grip frame, though in practical terms may not mean much. Also the hammer and sear pins are identical parts in the MAX, which is a manufacturing simplification I like.
If one were to detail strip their MAX frame after several hundred rounds, one could clean it and apply SuperLube grease judiciously to make the most of the inherent trigger smoothness with no alterations from factory.
About 8 yards, two carry mags of Hornady Critical Defense. I think it needs a combat hold sight picture as it does group a little low when aiming across the top of the sights. I could certainly improve my shooting but the gun is capable at realistic ranges for a pocket gun. Strong hand (left) two-handed, standing.
