Ruger RXM?

Help Support Ruger Forum:

I think the biggest allure of the clone or Glock is not so much the gun but the Magazines. Not universal but so many other guns and carbines accept them. And I think you will see more down the road. Parts? Not so much for me. Recoil springs, guide rods, extractors, sights but not much else really needed.
 
Optic ready - tapped for a multitude of RDS brands to direct mount, which no other pistol provides

You must not have noticed the Springfield Echelon introduced in 2023.

The Echelon Variable Interface System uses sets of self-locking pins to fit the patterns of an extremely wide range of popular red dots. In all, over 30 different optics can be mounted to the Echelon without having to buy anything extra.
 
Everybody makes a 1911 now, and a AR-15, and now everyone apparently makes a Glock 19.
Exactly! I bought my one and only Glock and don't want anymore. Was looking for a full size 9 and the 19x was exactly what I wanted. The color pulled me in. Only gripe is the grip angle is different than everything else I shoot. If this new Ruger has a better angle on the grip makes it a maybe.
 
They gave it a 3.5 out of 5 stars.....seems about right....when they start showing up Used I might get one....esp if they start making black frames
 
A polymer gun is a polymer gun. I like Ruger, and I'm sure they got all the small things right on this one. I hope they sell a lot of them, but they probably won't sell one to me. Call me old fashion, but I enjoy a finely crafted gun made of steel and wood. If Ruger makes something similar to the Kimber Micro series I'd pick up a couple.
 
Not sold on the gray frame that mine came with. Just ordered a black one from Magpul. With the holidays, probably a long wait.
 
You can get a new frame for 40 bucks and mags for 15. Sad they charge extra for a mag loader (15). This is a Magpul copy in my opinion with a Ruger logo. Magpul frame and mags. Lots of the same type of comments but there is mine.

Ruger has been moving towards glock guns for awhile though. The PC rifle came with a glock magwell... That is one reason I never got the Ruger pistol to match with the PC rifle.

I don't do much gun stuff anymore but from tinkering aspect, the frame for 40 bucks seems cool. A guy could buy a frame to customize to his hand easy and may yield a new favorite pistol.
Very good point. How much is Magpul into this? Something smells. Where are these guns made? Why is Ruger selling them for less than there own models?
Rugers typically need to go through a waiting period for bug fixes. PSA has been out, proven themselves and the most parts and add on's etc. By the time you wait a year for Ruger, PSA will have even more accessories and improvements .

A removable FCU ?

Like a Sig P320 ?

Horrors !

Sooooo....when will we get the first reports of these "going off" by themselves ???
Shouldn't be an issue, Ruger put a trigger safety on their FCU, while Sig has refused to with the P320.

Sig never learned from the early problems with the SR9.
 
Ruger would be better off reintroducing the SR series without the external safety, LCI and magazine safety.
The SR series are severely underrated. Years ago I bought an SR9c as an inexpensive concealed carry firearm until I could pick up my guns from my parents house.

I was amazed at how accurate it is. I have been on the lookout for a standard SR9 stainless ever sense.
 
Impact guns currently has the RxM on sale for $386.29

Tempting to get either the PSA Dagger, SR9, or RxM as an inexpensive truck gun.

 
wouldn't that be just like the Sig P 250?

The Sig P250 was a modular, hammer-fired, DAO pistol that used proprietary mags and came in 6 calibers and 3 barrel/slide and frame sizes.

I would like a modular, hammer-fired, DA/SA pistol that used common magazines (i.e. Glock, Beretta 92 series, Sig P22x series, or S&W M&P series).

Shouldn't be an issue, Ruger put a trigger safety on their FCU, while Sig has refused to with the P320.

People continue to mistakenly believe a trigger safety designed for a Glock is needed on a P320, which has an entirely different fire control mechanism.
 
Ruger competing with Ruger

Yes, there are differences in the FCUs between Glock and Sig, but they are both striker fired pistols, and they both have triggers, and triggers have mass. If their is a trigger safety, the trigger can't move when dropped.

 
The basis premise about trigger movement in the TTAG article is correct, but it leaves out important details about the P320's trigger.

Glocks need a trigger safety because the trigger and trigger bar both move rearward to fire the gun. When a Glock is dropped on its rear, the mass of the trigger and trigger bar move rearward with enough force to fire the gun. The trigger safety prevents that movement.

As originally designed, the P320's trigger could not move rearward when dropped. A P320 trigger pulls its trigger bar forward to fire the gun. As long as the mass of the trigger bar exceeded the mass of the trigger, dropping a P320 on its rear guaranteed the trigger bar could not move forward to fire the gun. In the photo below, the original P320 trigger is on the left. After people complained the P320 trigger slapped or stung their trigger finger, Sig produced the Adverse trigger shown in the middle below, which had a forward extension that increased trigger mass. The new trigger solved trigger slap or sting but was apparently enough heavier to move the trigger bar in rear-drop situations. Finally, the photo on the right shows the lightened trigger Sig created to reduce the weight of the trigger below what would move the weight of the trigger bar in rear-drop situations.

Love the 320 M17, nicest gun I personally have ever shot and owned. Want to invest in the M18 now. Worth every penny I paid. The newer guns have no drop safety issue. Those myths have been debunked over and over. That said, the average shooter these days does not have to pay more than $400 for a decent gun.
