The Ruger Max-9 Long RD pistol in black (brand part no. 3521) extends the Max-9 platform to a longer slide and barrel for improved sight radius while adding an optic-ready cut for a red dot. Ruger chambers the pistol in 9mm with a 12+1 capacity and a 4-inch barrel, and the optic-ready, serrated alloy steel slide pairs with a polymer frame. A striker safety and trigger safety round out the design. Among longer-slide optic-ready semi-auto handguns, this Max-9 Long RD configuration favors carriers who want a longer sight radius with optic compatibility.
