Enter the RXM

Ruger and Magpul have joined forces to produce a new 9mm striker-fired pistol—the RXM. The RXM offers maximum flexibility and customization via a removable stainless steel Fire Control Insert (FCI) set inside an interchangeable Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip (EHG). As part of their ongoing collaboration, Ruger and Magpul will be offering a variety of grip frames so that consumers can customize their pistol to meet shifting tastes and needs.

“The RXM is the result of a tremendous collaboration between two of the most respected brands in the industry,” says Ruger President and CEO Chris Killoy. “Loaded with upgraded features, superior ergonomics, and at a price that leaves room for further customization, this American-made handgun is destined to become the best in its class.”

The RXM’s slide features a black FNC nitride finish and allows for direct optic mounting of RMR, Delta Point Pro, and RMSc pattern optics. Co-witness-height steel sights feature a tritium front night sight, providing an excellent sight picture, with or without an optic installed. Front cocking serrations and a precision-rifled barrel complete the premium slide assembly. The pistol is equipped with a flat-faced trigger and easily actuated magazine release, slide release, and takedown lever, but the best features are the ones you add. Most major components are designed for Glock Gen 3 compatibility with off-the-shelf parts, holsters, and accessories for nearly unlimited customization, and the RXM is designed to use 9mm magazines compatible with compact or larger double-stack Glock pistols, including Magpul GL9 magazines.

The Magpul EHG offers consumers premium features, including Magpul’s ¾-scale TSP texture, which provides a comfortable, secure grip. Other EHG features include: textured indexing pads for consistent finger / thumb placement; a low-profile, flared magazine well for quick and easy magazine insertion; a trigger guard undercut and beaver tail that promote a high grip for better control; a magazine release scallop for easy access; and a universal-pattern accessory rail for use with a variety of lights and lasers.

“This collaboration has allowed both companies to flex their creative muscles, resulting in a firearm that provides superior features, function, and value,” says Duane Lipton, Magpul’s executive vice president.

The RXM is available in two models; each ships with two Magpul GL9 magazines, with either 15- or 10-round capacity. ruger.com
