Here's mine. I have the newer CT on mine. I'm working on holsters now. I got a level 2 paddle but I'm making a hybrid shoulder/OWB and Pocket/IWB.

I'm kinda wishing I would have gone with the Talo edition. I would have saved $150 and got the safety. Trigger is way lighter than I expected. I actually had a recoil double the other day.
I'm thinking shoulder rig under a button up shirt will be great with this.
I paid $500 for the gun and $200 for the optic.
The iron sights are what grabbed me. I can actually see them. The dot increases this to a solid 50yd option with something to lean on.
Finding the dot takes practice. What I do is find the sights and there's the dot.
It took me about 50rnds to get everything the way I like. Shoot a few groups with the irons to see where everything is hitting. If it's good dial the dot to where it covers the front sight and work from there. I started on the bench solidly rested till everything is dialed in and then started doing drills.
My range is outside the basement door.
Just got my optic put on today too. Hit the range and sighted in. The red dot definitely showed me what I've been doing wrong with my grip on the max 9 and I was on target better than I ever was with this firearm today. Have it in an IWB Tulster Oath holster.
It's absolutely transcendent!!! I can barely hit like that with a full size with irons. Seriously I would need my unlimited class IPSC piece to do much better. That was a 9 ring group in 3 seconds at 25yds with the Max9!!!

Hi, I picked up a Ruger Max 9 Today and I was Checking it over, The Slide is Very Hard to pull back, and It does not like my reloads at all, I was Chambering some bullets through the gun, and the slide would hang up, I have no trouble with my S&W 9mm semi auto with my Reloads, I Think I got a Defective Gun, i have read that the slide is hard to pull on this gun, but mine is ridicules', very hard to pull back, I Would Not Recommend this gun to a Woman as Most women would not have the strength to pull the slide back, I have a Ruger 10/22 That I am Very Happy With. Taking the Gun Back To Turners ASAP, Take care everyone, Chellie
Try an Sig 365. Basic physics. Big heavy slide with lots of travel will need less spring than a light tiny slide with barely enough travel to clear the case.

Thank You Hvymax For the Come back, The Sig 365 is a very nice gun, but a little on the expensive side, I did get a Sig 228-380 ACP its about $300 Cheaper than the Sig 365 and I was able to operate the slide very well, and Loading the mag. was a lot easier, the Ruger max 9 Mag was a Beach to load IMHO
Take care, Chellie
