This video makes you want to carry more than one magazine.

Or this...

If it wasn't a thing, there wouldn't be a tactical technique called TAP, RACK, BANG!

Update: It is still hit and miss on emptying a full magazine of live rounds by racking the slide by hand. Sometimes I can empty be it with no issues and the next time it jams every time. Again this is not acceptable because what if, during an altercation, God forbid, and you need to clear a bad...

Update: 2 1/2 weeks past and didn't hear from Erica at Ruger CS so I sent an email asking for the status. The next day, I got an email from FedEx that a package was shipping from Mayodan and would arrive in 3 business days. Here's a video of the outcome.

Thanks for posting this video. It addresses the dings and scrapes found on spent brass and is important for folks that reload. My LCP Max also has that issue and I do plan on reloading later. Glad that he mentioned about cold bluing. An update on my previous post is a new slide and barrel from...

Update: After my filing modification, I took it to the range for the very first time. I fired 20 rounds of Armscor 95GR FMJ with no issues. And 10 rounds of Hornady American Gunner 90GR XTP with one FTE. All with no brass to face and most brass ejecting 10 feet away to my 3'oclock to 6'oclock...

Ruger CS got back to me saying: Hello sir, The part of the slide you filed off is call the cartridge recess cut, which is supposed to be on the slide. While it may make live round extraction feel better, it will negatively affect ejection during live fire. Ejection will be weak and erratic. Any...

I used a small triangle file and slowly filed off metal until the groove defect was gone. I'm concerned that the metal removed may be important for reliability and the protective coating is now gone. It's best to ask Ruger customer service to send a new slide that was inspected and verified that...

Having extreme difficulty ejecting live rounds is unacceptable for a personal self defense tool that you need to rely on to protect yourself and your loved ones. Ask yourself, "What if I needed to clear a bad round in the chamber?" Some say that it's not designed for that. Are you kidding me...

True! I'm hoping to convince my school teacher wife to carry this at work.🏫 So, we'll see.🤞

I decided to file down the area until the indentation was no longer visible. That fixed it. It is no longer difficult to eject unspent casings when racking the slide by hand. I can now do the "tap, rack, bang technique" to clear malfunctions. I can eject all 10 rounds quickly and easily by hand...

Ugh! Got it back today and it's not fixed. The indentation is still there and it is still difficult to eject unspent casings. I will call them again tomorrow and ask them to send me a barrel, slide, and spring.

Purchased an LCP Max yesterday. Never fired it yet but found the same issue. Noticed a build up of brass shavings on the slide, cleaned it off, and found a manufacturing defect. There's an indentation on the slide that grabs the rim of the casing and causes the ejection issues when racking by...
