Vedder pocket holster

 

My mag relief is quite solid. Stay away f rom a pocket holster.
I bought this for my Max. Love it:
Amazon.com : Black Carbon Fiber OWB Holster (Right-Hand, Ruger LCP II) : Sports & Outdoors

 

Alabama holster does not cover the mag release, but I have never had a problem with mine. I wear it all the time.

 

I have a left and right hand Alabama Holster Company holster for my LCP Max. There is an option to have the magazine release covered when you order.

My left hand holster has a covered magazine release.

 

You want the release uncovered not covered. If it’s covered and any pressure gets on it it’s going to pop the mag out.

 

What you're saying makes sense. All other guns for which I have a pocket holster keep the mag button exposed and don't have that problem.
I guess the holster I have for the Max is just low quality more than anything else so I need a better made holster.

Looks like Vedder and Alabama are good units that work well.

 

I don't have an LCP Max, but I like the Alabama pocket holsters too.

I might wind up with a Max someday. They look interesting and generally get good reviews.

 

Mine has been great and I will likely need to buy another for my pocket because my lady has appropriated it.
She doesn’t love shooting it, it barks a bit, but loves to carry it much more than her 43; and she loves Glocks.
I recommend it.

 

I don't have an LCP, but I've found that Alabama and AHolster make the best pocket carry holsters.

 

It's left hand pocket carry that's doing that. Used to find it a lot with the old 3AT, not so much with my LCP gen 1. Mag release facing outward and can be bumped enough on objects you bump and hardly notice to activate the release.

 

I know this is an old thread but it popped up under a thread I'd just responded to. Anyone carrying something front pocketable, should look at Mika pocket holsters. Bob is a former LAPD guy, moved to the midwest, became a chief in a small town and started making his holsters. All I've used for years now as they stay in your pocket without using gimmicks but allow for a very easy draw.

 

I use the Vedder as well for my Max. I also have one for a Glock 26. That requires really roomy pockets. For my Snubbie I have an old leather one, a Kramer

 

I like MIKA pocket holsters. The holster stays in your pocket allowing you to reholster with ease. I tried several brands and MIKA is by far the best.

 

Just saw this thread again and I now have an LCP Max with an Alabama pocket holster.

You can specify whether you want the magazine release covered or not when you order. I didn't want mine covered but they offer that option.

I might have requested them to make mine a little narrower on the end, but I can't recall for sure now. My clothing has pockets that are smaller than the pockets in men's clothing.

The Max comes with a soft pocket holster in the box but with a round in the chamber and no manual safety I wanted a firmer holster.

 

On the Max just switch the release to the other side if you’re left handed.

 

Like most lefties, I learned to manipulate pistols using standard, "right-handed" controls. That included the magazine release.
Repetition over the years makes me instinctively seek the mag release button with my left middle finger. It is actually faster and easier for me to depress the mag release button with the middle finger of my left hand than with my thumb.
Switching the mag release is not a good option for me, nor is it a good option for most lefties I know that were trained before ambidextrous controls became widespread.
