My Bersa Thunder is amazing and I like the Glock 42 but, the LCP Max gets the crown for my favorite .380.

Is the slide really loose your LCP Max? Just got mine and haven’t fired it yet but the slide will actually rattle when you remove the magazine.
 
Now to answer OP’s question. Love my Bersa Thunder 380 and Glock 42. But have high hopes for the LCP Max.
 
For me it's got alot to do with how I plan to carry it
Slip in my pocket gun would be my Colt pony . It's lightweight and dao.
For owb holster carry my browning black label.

Back in the mid-late 80s I had a Colt Mustang. Fun gun to shoot regret selling it.
 
Always wanted a mustang. Sadly never got one. Had a 230 and i agree with Carl. Size and weight made me switch, but it was a fun gun to shoot.

When you and @Crazy Carl say size and weight do you mean for pocket carry and it's mainly due to the fact I purchased a Springfield 911 Friday that makes me curious and I think it similar in size and weight to the 230

It's bigger & heavier than my Ruger LC9s. Seems silly to carry a low cap .380 that big, when there are more powerful, smaller, high capacity choices available.
 
Ruger LC380. I put a Galloway trigger kit in it that shortened and lightened the DA trigger. It got passed over when Ruger came out with the LC9S Pro, which gave way to my current EDC, a G43.

I think the 911 is close to a238. The 230 is more like a ppks im i remember correctly. Great gun, just didn't ride in pocket to good for me. The 238/911 were perfect for me.

Yeah I totally misread that and I inserted the 238 for the 230.
It's late and I'm tired
Apologies
 
My little old LCP. Original model. Was in the recalled batch. It's been recalled, pocket carried heavily off and on since '09 and fired close to 2k times. I finally got around to replacing the springs on it a few months back. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
 
I currently carry a LCP max it’s just too big for pocket carry in my opinion. Looking something smaller for pocket carry. I have bought/traded/sold 4 of these little pistols in the past month or two. I’ll find one I like soon.

Sometimes it's about angles and not size per se. Depending on what I'm wearing sometimes the Smith 442 fits better in a pocket than an LCP. Rounded contours vs hard angles in the grip.
