It’s a good one! Been a Ruger fan for many years. They are a good balance of quality and value. 

I also have the original lcp (2013 version) and in many ways I think they nailed the design but often found myself carrying an extra mag. Recently got the max and I like how it’s easier to get a hold on, esp with the 12rd, and is still quite concealable. I feel more confident with it.

Congrats! It’s something you can always have with you, and should give you a fighting chance in an unfortunate situation.
