How to choose the best holster for your Ruger LCP MAX
Choosing the right Ruger LCP MAX holster starts with knowing a few key details. Starting with knowing how you want to carry and what your day looks like. So that your pistol and holster can compliment each other. This compact pistol is built for concealment, so your holster needs to match that mission. Look for something that holds the gun tight, covers the trigger completely, and lets you draw fast without fumbling. Comfort matters just as much, if it’s not easy to wear, you won’t carry it. A holster for Ruger LCP MAX should feel natural on your body and give you peace of mind every time you put it on.

It also features a reinforced thumb break strap, adding extra durability and increasing the holster’s natural retention, making it a highly secure option.
Best Ruger LCP Max OWB Holster
Open Top Belt Holster – $89. The Open Top Belt Holster is an excellent choice for those seeking easy access and a quick draw. Its pancake design provides a slim, low-profile fit, ensuring that your Ruger LCP Max remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.
Best Ruger LCP Max Shoulder Holster

Carry Options for Ruger LCP MAX holsters
Concealed Carry
The LCP MAX was made for staying out of sight. A solid Ruger LCP MAX concealed holster helps keep your gun tucked away while staying easy to reach when it matters. Whether under a t-shirt or jacket, a good concealed holster should hug close, avoid printing, and stay comfortable through your daily routine. Prioritize secure clips, adjustable retention, and breathable materials to get the most out of it.
IWB Holsters
Inside-the-waistband holsters are one of the easiest ways to carry the LCP MAX. A Ruger LCP MAX IWB holster disappears under your shirt and keeps your pistol close without digging into your side. Look for adjustable ride height and a slim footprint to help dial in the perfect setup. This carry style is ideal for everyday use when you want quick access without drawing attention.
OWB Holsters
When concealment takes a back seat to comfort or speed, OWB comes into play. A Ruger LCP MAX 380 OWB holster gives you faster access and more room to move. Pancake-style designs with tight contours can still stay low-profile under a light jacket. These holsters are simple to use, great for the range, and perfect when you need a little extra breathing room.
Shoulder Holsters
Shoulder rigs offer a relaxed and balanced way to carry, especially if you’re sitting a lot or wearing outerwear. A Ruger LCP MAX shoulder holster rides across your torso and keeps the pistol out of your waistband. It's a smart choice for colder climates, long drives, or anyone looking to spread out the weight a bit. Bonus: some systems include mag carriers for even more balance.
Appendix Holsters
Appendix carry puts your LCP MAX front and center—easy to reach and easy to hide. A well-designed Ruger LCP MAX appendix holster gives you speed and control without sacrificing comfort. Look for one with a solid clip, smooth edges, and good retention so it stays in place and feels right all day.
Pocket Holsters
Pocket carry is a natural fit for a pistol this size. A Ruger LCP MAX pocket holster should keep the gun upright, shield the trigger, and stay in your pocket when you draw. The right pocket holster adds structure without bulk and makes everyday carry effortless and discreet.
Ankle Holsters
Ankle holsters are perfect for backup guns or when you need deep concealment. A Ruger LCP MAX ankle holster should hug your lower leg without sliding down and include enough padding to stay comfortable for hours. It's a great option if you’re wearing slimmer clothes or want to keep your waistband free.
Material Options for Ruger LCP MAX Holsters
Ruger LCP MAX Leather Holsters
Leather holsters offer excellent comfort and durability, molding to your body and firearm over time for a snug, glove-like fit. Made from premium full‑grain or Italian leather, they provide natural retention and protection while softening with use—often becoming comfier than synthetic options.

These holsters in my opinion are the best money can buy. Although they are made by falcoholsters. I've got three from craftholsters.com and two from falco. I'm planning to buy more from both places
Johnny
The idea of a pocket holster is concealment. The material of this holster is so thick that when you insert the pistol into it and then your pants or jacket pocket there is a noticeable bulge.
