Ruger has earned a reputation for reasonably priced, rugged, high value for the dollar firearms since the company was founded in 1949. The tradition continues with their new RXM, something of a clone of the hugely popular 9mm Glock 19 pistol. Here’s my assessment of it, from the issue of GUNS magazine now on the newsstands.
While I’m not in the market, I love the optic setup, particularly that it leaves the irons in place should the optic cease to perform as intended. Other designers please take note.
The RXM appears to be a good deal for the price and has the features a Glock 19 should have. I picked it p a Springfield XD Mod 3 awhile back for $270. Optic ready, decent trigger, fiber optic front sight & 16 round magazine. We are definitely living in the age of high quality affordable firearms.
“All GLOCKs have embedded rails, while the RXM is one of the first if not the first to have a serialized component, which contains the rails, similar to the SIG P365 and P320.”
Does this mean that Ruger will eventually offer different size/style grip modules for the RXM? Mas, do you know if Ruger has plans to do so in the future?
If different grip modules are an option (now or in the immediate future), it might help with sales of the RXM to law-enforcement agencies. The ability to swap out grip modules, to fit the different hand sizes found on a large police force (plus a price-point lower than the Glock models) could prove strong selling points for law-enforcement sales.
Is Ruger aiming at the law-enforcement market, as well as the commercial market, with this model?
Unknown as to LE market, TN, but definitely be looking for the different sizes.
