The Ruger RXM is another Glock 19 Gen 3 clone, but it might be worth a serious look. Packed
with upgrades and innovative features, this pistol could be a game-changer in the crowded
Glock-clone market. Learn more in our Ruger RXM Preview!

A Collaboration Between Ruger and Magpul

RXM stands for Ruger and Magpul, two companies known for producing high-quality yet
affordable firearm components. Ruger manufactures the slide, fire control group, and
internal components, while Magpul—an industry leader in polymer grips and
accessories—produces the frame.

Modular Fire Control Group

What sets the Ruger RXM apart is its removable, serialized fire control group, or as Ruger
calls it, the Fire Control Insert (FCI). This system, similar to the SIG P320, allows users to
swap out frames without purchasing an entirely new firearm. While Magpul hasn’t
announced additional frame options yet, it’s easy to imagine them offering classic Magpul
colors down the line.

Ergonomics and Controls

The RXM features a slightly more vertical grip angle (20 degrees) than a standard Glock, but
thanks to a vertical backstrap and undercut trigger guard, it offers a natural, ergonomic
feel that both new and experienced shooters will appreciate.
Above and forward of the trigger well, textured, low-profile gas pedals are molded into the
frame for added control and comfort. Multiple early reviews suggest that the Ruger trigger is
noticeably better than the factory Glock 19 trigger, giving it an edge right out of the box.
Standout Features

This is the Glock clone enthusiasts have been waiting for—one that enhances
functionality, eliminates common OEM pain points, and improves aesthetics and
performance.

Key features include:

● Tritium co-witness height iron sights for improved low-light visibility
● Direct-mount optic cut for seamless red dot integration
● Single-slot Picatinny rail for mounting lights or lasers
● Aggressive undercut trigger guard for improved grip and control
● Generous backstrap design for added comfort

Price & Value

One of the biggest surprises? The Ruger RXM MSRP is just $499. That’s an exceptional
value when compared to other popular Glock clones, putting it right in line with OEM
pricing—but with a host of upgrades that significantly improve both shooting experience and
modularity.
