Ruger RXM?

If somebody "needs killing" at 100 yards, I'll call 911. I'm already far enough away there's no need to retreat unless that threat is aiming a rifle at me.

Rifles are made for killing …. EDC guns and most all handguns are made for sport or recreation or self defense.

Great minds think alike. I said the same thing in a different way. 100 yard target is not a threat immediate enough to use a pocket pistol to survive ... which the purpose of EDC.

Torture Testing the Ruger RXM | Gun Talk Videos

How many rounds until the Ruger RXM fails? The crew at Gun Talk’s Range Ready Studios puts the Ruger x Magpul RXM through its paces. We've lined up shooters...

I've got 500 rounds through mine today with MP and Glock mags, 100% function and very accurate. But more important than that which a lot of these videos can't tell you, the gun is an absolute pleasure to shoot. It shoots flat and is very soft shooting allowing for fast follow up shots. 1 inch groups offhand at 5 yards. My Smith M&P 2.0's shoot better than my Glocks and I always chalked that up to the Smiths being heavier with heavier slides, but the RXM is actually about a 1/2 oz lighter than my Gen 5 G19's and yet it shoots a lot softer and flatter. Maybe it's the grip angle? Ruger and Magpul have a winner here. The RXM has become my favorite gun overnight and I didn't even know it existed before last Sunday. And it's now my exclusive EDC.
 
Sorry G-lovers but I was going to ask a question here about this new wonderful pistol (by many of y'all's standards) and decided to just go to the source, Ruger. I found the instruction manual for the pistol and looked up disassembly... here it is... other than a Ruger MK pistol a Glock and Glock wanna be is the worst pistol to disassemble I've had.

You should try to disassemble a Kahr P380. It's essentially the same....sort of, just far worse.

Yep, love the Kahr's,I have 4 if them, but the take down is a pain, especially taking the all the down to change out parts, the back plate is always tough to get off, and Ruger has that stupid pin, (which should be replaced as they WILL Break.) It would seem that if you are going to make a better clone, you could come up with a more easier way like the simple lever take down and just slide off.

Its really not that difficult, especially for those of us old Glock owners who have been performing this task for decades. However, I will add that installing an extended slide stop, which is an inexpensive part, makes a big difference...especially with old gnarled hands like mine. but YMMV

How does an extended slide stop make a big difference in disassembly? :unsure:

Did you mean extended slide "lock" and not "stop"? This is obvious of course but they are two different parts. I guess the extended slide lock would help for some with conditions.
 
I handled an RXM at a local overpriced "tacticool" shop today. It was okay, but not up my alley so to speak. Surprisingly they only wanted $399 for it. They wanted $599 for the Ruger American Ranch (Gen I) in 7.62x39 that I actually went to look at though. Now that I've checked one out there I might just go ahead and order one, for much less.
 
As a Glock non-owner, I have never found the disassembly hard. As Glock Armorers Course State:
1. Point safe direction
2. Remove the magazine
3. Cycle the slide 3 times looking to make doubly sure there isn't a round in the chamber
4. While still pointed in a safe direction snap the trigger
5. Wrap the strong hand around the grip (thumb) and the fingers over the top of the slide ease the slide back about a tenth of an inch and pull the take down tabs downward.
6. Allow the slide to slide forward off the frame.

Many Pollice Departments wrote in their pistol specifications that the snapping the trigger was not acceptable for field stripping. This gave rise to the S&W M&P however I believe Ruger's P series has a lever that needs to be pushed into the magazine well to disassemble, I'm Sure S&W must have copied the idea.

Huh? I had a Glock back in the 90s. I found it incredibly easy to field strip. A Glock "armorer" taught me to detail strip it in about 15 minutes.

So the first time ever over 30 years ago it took 30 seconds to read the manual and figure it out. These days it takes 5 seconds. Interestingly the take down lever on the RXM seems like it's bigger than the Glock 19 gen 5, but it looks exactly the same. I think Magpul made the frame a hair smaller and it's just easier to grasp on the RXM. Another small improvement and they just keep adding up!

The old P-series required the ejector to be pushed down before taking the slide off. The little lever in the M&P is a sear deactivation lever, it takes tension off the sear so that the slide can be slid off. I believe dry firing the Glock accomplishes the same thing. When I first bought my M&P 2.0 Compact I used the lever. After a while I started just dry firing it to accomplish the same thing. None of them are particularly difficult.
 
Spending more time looking at Reviews etc. I feel that the RSM is going to be terrific winner. I am personally not interested, but regardless, Ruger it seems to have built the top of the line clone.
One thing I have never understood by Glock, is the fact that in all their years they never saw the need to under cut the insane trigger guard. For myself, the dang guns would alway's give me a terrible finger blister and I am not the only one that hated their guard. It seems all the clone manufacturers saw this fault and improved it.
This teaming up with Magpul is one of the most innovative ideas, I have seen come from a Manufacturer. The add-on's in grip sizes etc will be a welcome addition. Smart Move by Ruger. This really is a Better Mouse Trap. I wonder if Glock is paying attentiion?
