The Ruger Max-9 sets a new standard in price and performance in the larger capacity, subcompact defensive pistol market. It offers you a good range of features for a gun at its price point, such as a striker-fired action, large capacity, excellent standard sights and the ability to easily mount a red dot optic. However, a defensive pistol only works if it’s near you when you need it most, and that’s why choosing a safe, comfortable holster is so important for people who lead an armed lifestyle.

For nearly five decades, DeSantis has been developing, designing, and manufacturing some of the best gun holsters on the market. They use American-Premium hides and tough synthetic materials for their holsters and accessories, ensuring your gun is kept safe until you need it. Now they are applying their knowledge to making holsters for the Ruger Max-9 pistol.

The DeSantis Slim-Tuk is an ambidextrous IWB holster fashioned from Kydex with a minimalist style. The  holster uses a tuckable 360 degree C-Clip to attach to your belt, which affords you an almost unlimited amount of mounting options. The mounting hardware can easily be reversed to change from right to left-handed. The Slim-Tuk is precision molded from  Kydex and features a nylon belt clip. MSRP for the Slim-Tuk holster is $34.99.

The Mini Scabbard is a basic holster that gives you all the essentials of a great holster such as tough construction, precise gun fit and minimal printing. However, it still provides you with top-flight retention, thanks to pin-point molding and a customizable tension device. This stylish leather holster is available in either black or tan and accommodates belts up to 1½ inches wide. MSRP for the DeSantis Mini Scabbard is $63.99.
