The term refers to enhanced aiming devices designed for the Ruger LCP MAX pistol, a compact firearm often chosen for concealed carry. These aftermarket additions typically replace or augment the factory sights to improve target acquisition and accuracy. Examples include fiber optic sights, tritium night sights, and laser sights, each offering distinct advantages depending on the shooter’s needs and intended use.
The adoption of improved aiming solutions on the Ruger LCP MAX offers several benefits. Enhanced visibility in low-light conditions is a primary advantage, facilitated by tritium or fiber optic elements. Increased accuracy at longer ranges is another benefit, allowing for more precise shot placement. Historically, factory sights on subcompact pistols have been minimal; consequently, aftermarket upgrades represent a significant advancement in practical performance for defensive applications.
