Fixing the LCP MAX

[Hibs]

I love my LCP Max but it shot terribly low from the factory. I’m talking like 7-9” low at 7 yards. This was unacceptable to me, even for a pocket pistol. I did some reading online and learned that a TRUGLO Tritium front sight from a S&W Bodyguard will swap in, and sits lower so in theory will raise your POI. Ordered a set from Amazon for $53 and swapped in the front. Took it to the range and it made a pretty good difference. Still a little low about 3”, but this is acceptable for its intended usage. Hope this helps anyone else with a LCP Max and shooting low problem.

Nice.

Which sight drifting tool are you using?

Looking for something that works but cheap....

Thanks.

When I switched out the sights on my Sec9c I had to sand the front quite a bit.

Did the S&W sight go in easily?

Combat sight picture 7 yards. I had the bead on the staple above the red dot.

I keep getting better!

These were 95gr Blazer Brass FMJ. Fed and extracted everything.

I have that same sight pusher its been great so far.

The only LCP Max I've personally shot was, also, wildly low. Like, if you wanted to shoot him in the throat at five yards, you'd have to completely cover his MAGA hat. You're still going to get it done on center lass at a few yards, but having to cover that much was kinda galling. I would certainly do this front sight swap.

Was that shot with the lcp max or your sec 9?

NVM - Grain choice answered the question.

You figured it out (The .380ACP LCP Max)

The Security 9 compact does not have this issue and I can push that out over 15yrds or so.
