The handgun world is abuzz with excitement following the announcement of the Ruger RXM, a cutting-edge polymer-frame, striker-fired 9 mm pistol set to hit the market. Developed collaboratively by Ruger and Magpul, this revolutionary firearm combines innovation, modularity, and affordability, making it a game-changer in the industry. If you're searching for a sidearm that balances performance, versatility, and customization, the Ruger RXM might be your next must-have firearm.
Key Features of the Ruger RXM
1. Modular Design
At the core of the Ruger RXM is its removable stainless steel Fire Control Insert (FCI), which serves as the serialized component. This feature isn't just innovative—it's practical. The FCI allows users to swap out different frame and slide sizes, enabling unparalleled customization. Whether you’re looking for a compact carry option or a full-size range setup, the RXM’s modularity ensures that it can adapt to your needs.
2. Enhanced Grip Module
The Ruger RXM integrates a Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip (EHG) RG9 grip module. Known for their exceptional polymer designs, Magpul's grip module features their proprietary Trapezoidal Surface Projection (TSP) texturing for a secure, non-slip hold. Additional ergonomic enhancements include:
An undercut trigger guard for better hand placement.
An extended beavertail for improved recoil control.
A flared magazine well to facilitate faster reloads.
3. Slide and Sights
The Ruger RXM’s steel slide boasts a durable black FNC nitride finish, with forward and rear cocking serrations for easy manipulation. It's designed to be optics-ready, accommodating popular red dot sights such as:
Trijicon RMR
Shield RMSc
Leupold DeltaPoint Pro
Iron sights include a metal front post with a tritium insert for low-light scenarios and a notched rear sight. Together, these provide a lower 1/3 co-witness with installed optics, ensuring seamless transitions between optics and iron sights.
4. Compatibility with Glock Accessories
One of the standout features of the Ruger RXM is its compatibility with most Glock Gen3 9 mm parts, accessories, and magazines. This means users can leverage a wide range of existing aftermarket options, enhancing the handgun’s versatility. While we cant speak for all holster, we can confidently way that the Ruger RXM is compatible with our line of light bearing and non light bearing holsters.
5. Dimensions and Weight
With a compact yet robust design, the Ruger RXM is tailored for both concealed carry and range use:
Overall Length: 7.15 inches
Barrel Length: 4 inches
Height: 5.31 inches
Unloaded Weight: 23.2 ounces
6. Affordable Pricing
Ruger and Magpul’s collaboration doesn’t just deliver on performance—it’s also budget-friendly. With an MSRP of $499, the Ruger RXM comes in a co-branded carry case, making it an attractive option for both new and experienced shooters.
Why the Ruger RXM Stands Out
The Ruger RXM is more than just a handgun—it’s a platform. Its modular design ensures that it’s adaptable for various applications, from concealed carry to competitive shooting. Meanwhile, its compatibility with Glock Gen3 parts means you can customize it with readily available accessories, saving time and money.
Additionally, Ruger’s partnership with Magpul, a brand synonymous with innovation and quality, guarantees that the RXM is engineered for performance and durability. Whether you’re a seasoned firearm enthusiast or a first-time buyer, the Ruger RXM delivers on every front.
Ruger RXM vs. the Competition
In a crowded market of polymer-frame, striker-fired handguns, the Ruger RXM holds its own. Its modularity puts it in direct competition with platforms like the SIG P320, but its affordability gives it a significant edge. The inclusion of Magpul’s grip module adds a level of ergonomics and style that’s hard to beat, while its Glock compatibility opens the door to endless customization possibilities.
Final Thoughts: Is the Ruger RXM Right for You?
The Ruger RXM is an exciting addition to the firearm market, offering features and flexibility that few handguns can match at its price point. Whether you prioritize modularity, ergonomics, or optics-ready design, the RXM has something for everyone.
As 2025 approaches, keep an eye out for this revolutionary handgun. With its combination of Ruger’s engineering expertise and Magpul’s design prowess, the Ruger RXM is poised to become a favorite among shooters of all skill levels.
