Greetings,
Santa brought me a Ruger Max 9 for Christmas. The intent is to replace my BUG LCP due to it's always dropping the mag when fired. I just got tired of dealing with it. Anyways, from what I can tell, the Max 9 is just a tad too big for jean pockets. I've only carried either a LCP in a pocket holster, or my primary off a duty belt. What's working for you folks who've been packing one around in CC mode? My only CC mode was a Bianchi X15 for plane clothes. That rig just seems a bit much for the Max 9. Any suggestions for jeans and a tee shirt?

As I'm a very big person, my jean pockets are proportionally huge. I do carry my Max9 in a pocket holster, even with the 12-round mag. When I bought the gun, I got an IWB and an OWB holster as well. I got them all on Amazon for a decent price (actually got everything for free with Cabelas Points, gift cards, etc.).

I have been carrying my Max-9 AIWB using a Desantis Slim-Tuk. It is small enough to conceal easily under an untucked, loose fitting T-shirt.

I pocket carry a max-9 in a "SkinTight" holster and have no problems. Generally carry the 10 round for weight control but have carried the 12. I like the skintight as it is kydex inside and soft sticky outside…. Completely covers the trigger guard. I did modify it slightly when I mounted my Riton 3 red dot. I'm only 5'7 so don't have super big pockets.

I have two that I carry my Max 9 in, both are outside the waistband. One is a Simply Rugged Cuda and one is a Crossbreed. I have a Ruger Ready Dot on mine, and both holsters work. The Simply rugged carries a little closer and tighter to my body. The Crossbreed is better for drills where I am re-holstering a lot. Both are great. I have 4 other Simply Rugged holsters for other guns.
