This refers to a specific type of concealment device designed for the Ruger LCP MAX pistol, often manufactured in Alabama. It’s a soft-sided carrier meant to be placed within a pants pocket, allowing for discreet firearm carry. The design prioritizes accessibility and minimal printing through clothing, while maintaining a degree of protection for the handgun’s trigger.
The appeal of this carry method lies in its simplicity and ease of integration into everyday attire. Benefits include enhanced concealability compared to other methods like IWB (Inside Waistband) or OWB (Outside Waistband) holsters, especially in situations where wearing a belt is impractical or undesirable. Historically, pocket carry has been favored for its speed of deployment in close-quarters self-defense scenarios and its adaptability to varied environments. It also offers a solution for those who prefer not to alter their wardrobe to accommodate traditional holster systems.
