Right on the heels of the recent and much-anticipated DT-S stock, Magpul is back at it with two new EHG grip offerings for the LCP MAX series of pistols from Ruger. While the legacy version has been out for a while, this new one extends the EHG RG380 line to pistols without a manual safety.
One grip fits new production LCP MAX PRO pistols. The other fits what the company calls the LCP MAX Legacy, which it defines as LCP MAX pistols without a manual safety made since 2021. Each retails for $39.99 at Magpul.com.
Both offer an enhanced grip to help manage recoil and increase comfort, with a high beavertail, an undercut trigger guard, and a longer trigger reach for larger hands.
The grips use Magpul’s 3/4-scale TSP texture, which the company said is included “for positive traction.” Each also comes with a reversible steel magazine release that Magpul said is intended “for fast, easy magazine changes.”Both models accept Ruger OEM magazines in 10, 12, and 13-round capacities, according to the release.
The two grips differ in fitment and in the parts included. The EHG RG380 for the LCP MAX PRO, part number MAG1538, comes with a color-matching grip sleeve for the 13-round magazine. The EHG RG380 for the LCP MAX Legacy, part number MAG1540, comes with a magazine floor plate and lock plate for the Ruger OEM 10-round magazine. Both are offered in Black, FDE, ODG, and Stealth Gray.
The release brings the number of EHG RG380 variants to three. The first, part number MAG1539, is for LCP MAX pistols with a manual safety. Magpul’s product page lists that grip as compatible with new model LCP MAX pistols with a manual safety that originally shipped with a Magpul EHG. The same page states the grip only fits models with a manual safety and directs owners of pistols without one to MAG1538.
Ruger announced its factory LCP MAX with the Magpul EHG on April 29. The company said at the time that initial models would have a manual safety, a 10-round magazine, and a new 13-round magazine built for the EHG. Ruger introduced the LCP MAX in 2021, and the Legacy grip covers pistols without a manual safety dating back to that year.

Magpul described the LCP MAX in their press release as “one of the smallest, most-popular carry guns in America,” and I’d say that along with a few other modern pocket pistols, this is probably a safe assumption.
The grip for the pro version weighs 1.9 ounces, is 1 inch thick and has a 13.5 degree grip angle, but doesn’t address probably the most important issue for prospective buyers – holster fitment. Magpul’s product page for the manual safety version also lists that grip at 1.9 ounces and states it is not compatible with holsters and other accessories.
