Ruger RXM


The Ruger RXM is a modular, striker-fired 9mm caliber semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Ruger, in collaboration with Magpul. It is based on the third-generation Glock 19, with which it shares some parts compatibility. As of January 2026, it is available in full size and compact configurations.

Design

The RXM is based on the third-generation Glock 19, and shares some parts compatibility with that generation. Unlike the Glock on which it is based, it features a separate serialized fire control unit allowing for interchangeable grip modules. The grip modules, produced by Magpul, are available in full size and compact lengths, with a subcompact grip announced The grips are available in gray, black, dark earth and olive drab green. RXM slides also feature an optics cut that allows for configuration to several standard footprints, allowing the mounting of a range of optical sights.

Controversy

Due to the RXM being a Glock clone, the gun has been criticized for its potential to function with a Glock switch. In November 2025, following the decision of Glock to discontinue a number of models and launch a redesigned line, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong called for Ruger to redesign the RXM to disallow the potential use of switches.

Reception

The RXM has generally been received positively, with reviewers citing its combination of a Glock action with modern features such as a fire control unit, and a factory optic cut slide.
