Ordered a new pistol yesterday. ** UPDATE **

Broke down and ordered a new Ruger Max-9 with one 10 and a one 12 round magazine and a safety. Should be here by Friday.
I buy quite a few firearms but very few new ones. I decided that I've been a very good boy and needed to treat myself to an "absolutely no reason for it" gift.
For the money, it's hard to beat the Max-9.
Picked up the max-9 this morning, weather is not cooperating however, 93 degrees and pouring down rain. Looks like I'll have to put off the range trip for a bit. I hate going to the range when the temperature and humidity are both in the 90s, hands get sweaty and sweat in the eyes doesn't help much either.

I think you made a good choice!
Make sure and give us a range report in the future !
Will do.
Pretty cool, congrats.
SWEET!!
I have never been an admirer of Ruger semiautos, though I greatly admire most of the revolvers. Until I bought the SR1911. Now I have a 5.57 x 28 as well. I reckon you are going to like the new one. Be sure to post a range report.
How is the 5.7 to shoot? I've heard good things about them.
similar to .22 mag.
That never slowed Alex Baldwin. Congrats on the new one!
Hope the weather settles down soon and you get a chance to get out there…
Yeah, me too, getting cabin fever with the excessive heat and rain.
If I ever have to replace my Ruger LC9s Pro (discontinued), I think the Max 9 Pro (no thumb safety) will be the one to get. It looks to be very similar in size:

Edited to add, I would pocket carry the Max 9 in an Alabama front pocket holster:
