Ruger RXM 9mm 4.5" 17rd Optics Ready Pistol

The Ruger RXM is a full size 9mm striker fired pistol that arrived as Ruger's clean sheet design built in collaboration with Magpul. The 4.5" barrel sits inside a slide machined for direct mounting of micro red dot sights, and tritium night sights come installed from the factory as backup. The grip uses Magpul's Enhanced Hand Guard texture pattern for an aggressive hold that locks the gun in place during rapid fire. Two 17 round magazines are included, and the gun runs on a Ruger proprietary magazine design. The accessory rail up front takes standard weapon lights and lasers.Ruger designed the RXM from the ground up rather than iterating on an existing platform. The trigger is a flat face design with a clean break and short reset that competes with aftermarket triggers in other striker fired pistols. The slide serrations run front and rear for easy manipulations, and the optics mounting system uses a plate system to accommodate multiple red dot footprints. The Magpul partnership is not just cosmetic. The grip angle, texture aggressiveness, and overall ergonomics were developed jointly, and the result feels different from anything else in the Ruger lineup. For shooters looking for a full size 9mm duty pistol with modern features at a Ruger price point, the RXM is a legitimate contender against established platforms from Glock, Sig, and Smith & Wesson.
