I've got a LCP and considering buying another. I saw the max. How much bigger does it feel than the LCP? I like how tiny the LCP is that it can fit in a shirt breast pocket. Is the max getting into Glock 26 territory? Eta: are people having more problems with the max than the regular LCP? |

I would get another LCP. There is nothing in its size and weight class. I got the Max and it can be pocket carried but I just don’t shoot it as well. The LCP is tiny but for some reason I shoot it much better than the Max. (Maybe because I’ve had it since they first came out?) As far as the Bodyguard 2.0, I just picked up one of those. I shoot it best of the 3, but it’s not nearly as easy to conceal as my LCP 1.0. The BG isn’t as thick as a P365, but it’s practically the same as far as length and height. If I’m moving the Bodyguard to IWB carry, I can actually carry the P365 easier. Choices are good, but sometimes they are a hassle. |
| I have a lcp max and had a keltec .380. To me not a significant difference. I like the max. 13 rounds without a significant increase in size. |

It's just the aspect of the picture. The Max is really close in size to the LCP, just a bit thicker. Length and height are about the same. The grip is fatter to accommodate the double stack, and the gun is heavier too as a result of the larger magazine. |

| I have both. The Max is nowhere near G26 size. The LCP is definitely a hair smaller and lighter than the Max. I carried the LCP in a pocket holster for 15+ years before I switched to the Max. If you want a gun that is virtually invisible in your pocket go with the LCP. The Max is just mostly invisible. I appreciate the added capacity of the Max and well as it’s better shootability. The extended mag for the LCP makes it much easier to shoot. I replaced the Max’s little baseplate extensions for Pierce extensions. That little bit seems to really help. It makes it about the same size as the extended mag. With the LCP I painted the sights with white nail polish or hivis paint. That makes them much easier to see when shooting. |
