How many standard 380 acp rounds do you think a Ruger LCP Max is designed to withstand - ie. it's designed life span?
I would say at least 10's of thousands.
I bet most owners don't put even 1000 rounds through it the entire time they own one.
What design margin do you think Ruger has for that pistol?
I would say a minimum of 2. That is the pistol is designed to handle loads twice as hot as the max pressure spec for the caliber.
Given the above, I would expect the pistol to handle a few hundred rounds of Underwood +P with no failures to the gun.
