The price between the 2 is $80, any difference?
Any Difference Between Max II 75th Anniversary and the Standard Max II?

That's about right, depending on the sales tax in your state. The Anniversary Edition is more refined, IMHO.

And the 75th is $80 cheaper!

In reality the 75th Anniversary has that stamped on the gun. Also there is a stainless steel bolt and it comes with two stainless steel magazines. The grips are checkered wood but they look pretty bad as they look like stained compressed sawdust. The bluing is not any better than the regular standard model which is shocking considering this is the 75th Anniversary. It has adjustable sights while the standard model has fixed sights. It does not have a heavy barrel.
In the near future the 75th Anniversary will be worth more money as only a limited amount is being made. I spoke to one distributer who said they were only allocated a total of 50 guns but had orders for 250 so you can see that the guns value has already went up because many distributors are already charging way over list price and getting it.
I bought mine by paying a scalpers price of $55 over what it should have sold for but that is life today because of the extreme scarcity of most all Ruger handguns. I did replace the ugly factory grips with Hogue Goncalo Alves checkered wood grips with a palm swell, but I kept the original grips in the paper box that came with the gun.
By the way the trigger pull was nothing to write home about as it had 3 stages of creep and broke at about 5 lbs. The good news is that the gun was very accurate even with Wal-Mart blaster ammo like Remington Thunder Turd. Naturally it shot better with the more expensive target ammo.
I am glad I got one as I was born the year Ruger started business so the 75th Anniversary pistol was also my 75th Anniversary as well.

I would really like to see a photo of the Ruger 75th Anniversary model LCP Max you purchased, bhp9. The original grips you're describing are of special interest also as is the stainless steel bolt and stainless steel magazines, too.

I didn't pay much attention to the LCP Max when it came out as I have an LCP II. Then I won a 75th Anniversary Max at a Friends of the NRA Banquet. I really like the feel of the max, and carry it or my Max9 for my EDC. I carry the LCP II working in the garage etc.
BHP9 is referring to the 75th Mk IV pistol, not the LCP MAX anniversary edition!
I was speaking of the Ruger .22 auto pistol 75th anniversary
That's why people need to post freaking pics!!! What the crap is wrong with people??? You're already using the interwebs for crying out loud!!!

Guns. I has it.
I have no idea what a MAX II is.
It is not in my collection.
Where can I buy it?
