So I ran across this. Details are sparse. It appears someone let the cat out of the bag before they were supposed to. It appears to be a Glock 19 sized pistol with a removable FCU that could possibly be moved from on frame to another (similar to Sig's design). It seems it is a collaboration with Magpul & the slide would be optic cut. Of course, all of this is just conjecture at this point. I find myself wondering what the price point will be. It doesn't really make sense to me as the polymer pistol market seems to be very saturated but what do I know anyway.

RXM sounds like a Springfield name, not Ruger.


 
Per George Hill, it is indeed a Ruger-branded Glock clone. I'm just not sure why Ruger would bring out a Glock clone in the first place. And secondly: Can they price it to be competitive with all the other Glock clones out there like the PSA Dagger?



In the linked thread, Hill said this was a leaked image that "was supposed to be embargoed until the 11th." And today I see Ruger is teasing this, to be announced on December 11th:


Note that the cutout for the pistol includes room for an (optional? future?) compact red dot sight.

Well, ya can still get a Glock 19x for under $600 retail.
The gun, hard case, mag loader, 3 mags, night sites, ambi mag release, ambi slide release, adjustable back straps ….. lotsa stuff for that price point. Be interesting to see where Ruger lands this price.
 
I may be wrong but doing a Glock clone (not a glockish pistol) seems a horrible idea. I mean I bought a Dagger because I liked the idea of it being able to use Glock parts & magazines but I'm not sure Ruger can compete in that market. There is PSA on the inexpensive side & Shadow Systems for the higher brow. What would Ruger do to make themselves competitive.
 
Daggers are incredibly affordable, buildable, and surprisingly dependable. No issues at all with the ones I built. Just built one up for my Wife as a Christmas present.......Will Ruger have the incredible amount of parts and accessories available like PSA does? If so it "might" take hold as I think most folks are more familiar with Ruger than PSA.
 
I'm confused and out of the loop here,, so y'all are calling this Ruger a Glock clone but what about all the other poly / striker fired pistols Ruger has been making for the last 10 or more years?
This thing seems to have the same look and take down of a Glock, unlike Rugers.

I'll bet Ruger isn't even making it and outsourcing.....sure looks like PSA to me.

If (emphasis on if), it is a Glock clone parts will interchange with Glock pistols & you will be able to use Glock magazines. For instance, The PSA Dagger Compact will accept Glock parts except for the locking block & the pins. Glock uses solid pins, PSA uses roll pins. Other than that you can replace any part in the pistol with the corresponding part for a 3rd Generation Glock 19. This makes things very easy for the consumer as Glock parts & magazines are readily available & relatively inexpensive. It also allows people to mix & match parts to make pretty much whatever they want within certain parameters. Much like an AR-15.
On the other hand if it is merely Glock like I would expect proprietary parts & for it to be more difficult to acquire accessories, etc.

PSA Dagger full size frame also.
 
One of these days I need to venture down to Columbia S.C. (90 minute drive) and check out the Palmetto State Armory factory.... I'm speculating they were able to create a work force because of the FAL/FHN factory there... that makes weapons for the Army and such. (I've always wanted to see if they had a factory outlet store.)
 
Thanks for the heads up.
Now I can skip that Ruger product announcement today. Lol
Meh 😐
Yeah, I'm not much for most plastic pistols. I had a Glock 26 for several years, then traded it for a P250 in .40. I didn't really care for that either but got lucky and traded THAT one straight up for a minty Blackhawk convertible.357/9mm from 1980. I DO carry my LCP and a Kahr Arms CW45 most of the time though.
