Ruger 3514 Max-9 9mm Luger 3.20 inch 12+1 Oxide Finish Polymer Frame

The Ruger 3514 Max-9 is a compact 9mm Luger designed for everyday carry and personal protection, combining a slim 6" overall length, 3.20" black oxide alloy steel barrel with 1:10" twist, and a lightweight 18.4 oz polymer frame to deliver controllable recoil and all-day carryability; the striker-fired action gives a short, smooth trigger pull with a clean break and positive reset, while the through-hardened alloy steel slide finished in black nitride and serrated for purchase houses an optic-ready cut compatible with Shield RMSc/JPoint footprints for direct-mount micro red dot use and co-witnessed sight setups. The one-piece precision-machined fire control chassis, medium-textured glass-filled nylon grip frame, reversible magazine release, manual thumb safety, internal striker blocker and inspection port all speak to a balance of rugged durability and user safety that hunters, range regulars and concealed carriers rely on, and the drift-adjustable polymer rear sight with a fixed front offers fast sight acquisition when optics aren't fitted. With a 12+1 capacity, 0.95" slide width and a compact profile from Ruger's Max-9 lineage, this semi-auto pistol is built for secure handling, quick transitions, and practical defensive use while requiring FFL transfer.
