Ruger and Magpul Announce RXM 9mm Pistol Collaboration

Ruger and Magpul are proud to introduce the RXM 9mm pistol. In the competitive 9mm, polymer-frame, striker-fired pistol market, the RXM sets itself apart. 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’s slide features a black FNC nitride finish and allows for direct optic mounting of RMR, Delta Point Pro (DPP) and RMSc pattern optics. Co-witness height steel sights feature a front tritium 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. However, 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. Also, 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 3/4-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.

“The RXM is the result of a tremendous collaboration between two of the most respected brands in the industry,” said 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.”

Magpul’s Executive Vice President, Duane Liptak, added “Magpul and Ruger are two of the most renowned brands in the firearms space, with each bringing a unique perspective to this project. Ruger, with its skill at making high-quality guns at very accessible prices, and Magpul, with its performance-improvement-focused accessories. This collaboration has allowed both companies to flex their creative muscles, resulting in a firearm that provides superior features, function, and value.”

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