Uses G19 mags (comes with 2 knock-offs) and slide uses Glock-compatible sights. ...because it's a G19 Gen 3 clone. Nice looking pistol. I believe the MSRP is about $300. When it was in stock Liberty Arms was selling it for $274 Country of mfr: Turkey Attached File https://gforcearms.com/firearms/handguns/rpx9-exodus/ ...because friends don't let their on-a-budget friends by SCCY's.

The duty of a patriot is to protect his nation from its government.

I have no reason to believe they're not but then again I don't own one but have contacted some content uploaders (SPN Firearms) to ask about their experiences. They supposedly wrung the hell out of one last month. I really like the grip on the Exodus' frame. Oh, and the pistol is compatible with Glock 19 holsters unlike the Dagger and other G19 clone frames. If it's reliable then there it is. |

$299 at Sportsmans Warehouse: https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/handguns/gforce-arms-rpx9-exodus-9mm-luger-402in-black-pistol-151-rounds/p/1877494 I have to go to the big city in 2 weeks while I'm over there I'll slide in to SW and see if they have one in stock. I've been in the mood for a G19 clone for some time. I fondled an Anderson Kiger and it's nice but the SCT frame does not fit my hand. After four years I am still reading of reliability issues with PSA Daggers. Not interested in a Gucci clone. |

I mentioned this pistol to one of the gun dept. staff at our local Ace Hardware/LGS and he said that they already sell G Force shotguns and that the rep who handles that line was due to be in the store later that day. I'll do a follow-up. The only downside is that while this retailer is the best gun shop in my AO their pricing isn't as competitive as the past and their transfer fee isn't competitive either. |

I checked them out at Sportsmans Warehouse. They seem pretty well made and finished overall. The frame is very rigid and stiff compared to a Glock, I like that. I have XL hands and the grip was good but the mag well funnel is not comfortable. The mags base plate is not flush when inserted so I have to make sure to push it up inside the magwell to insure it locks in. For $237+ tax I bought one. Took it home and disassembled it and cleaned and lube. The frame rails are ground uneven on the top surfaces. The firing pin safety and frame pins have a rough black finish, almost looks like parkerizing. The rifling in the barrel also has this rough finish. Trigger pull is heavy but has a crisp wall/break. Has a stainless recoil guide rod, duel spring Gen 4 style. Has flat sided extractor, non LCI style. Fit and finish besides the rough spots already mentioned is pretty good. Racking the slide is nice and smooth. Magazines are unmarked besides Rd count and 9mm. They look like the common Korean mags. Should be fine for range use. Took it to the range today and fired 100rds Blazer brass 124gr FMJ, 50rds Fed champion 115gr FMJ. It functioned 100%, no reliability problems. Problem was it shoots to the left by a lot. I drifted the rear sight flush to the right side of the slide and its still hitting 3" left at 10yds. It printed decent groups just not centered. The barrel also got very fouled by the second magazine. The crown has lead deposits and the bore looks rough. I will play around with it some more. Maybe try a different G19 barrel and locking block. |

Thank you for posting this review and not sugar-coating anything. 3" off at 10 yards with the sight pushed all the way over to one side is unacceptable.  I would likely not purchase this pistol given the info. you've shared. |

Its a Gen 4 clone from what I'm seeing. Gen 4 recoil spring, slide and mag release. I took it out shooting again, still hitting left. I swapped in a PSA Dagger barrel and tried it out. It then was hitting to the right but that's with the sights drifted right. I am confident it will be good with the rear sight centered up. It also shot tighter groups and the bullet holes are much cleaner and rounded. I think the factory barrel is junk and almost keyholing at 10yds. Also noticed after playing around with several of my Glocks and clones that the RPX9 has a stiffer recoil spring. Makes it harder to rack the slide and ejected brass lands 3ft away. I will probably get a threaded barrel for it and a different trigger connector. Says it has a 2yr warranty, I will contact G Force and see what they say. Imported by G Force, made by Radikal. |

They took a few days to respond but got me a prepaid shipping label. It took them a few weeks to get it back to me. They replaced the barrel but I have not shot it since getting it back. So far customer service has been good and they sent email and tracking number letting me know when to expect it. Now I see the RIA version with optic cut for similar price. |

Grit Grips, Combat Armory (frame good, everything else, bad) & Lone Wolf are Glock holster compatible, if you're looking to build one. Edit.... After reading the other threads, he's definitely not looking to build one now

It's calling my name! Just picked up 3 will let you know how they are So all three are identical, come in a plastic clamshell case with an extra mag and a box with cleaning brushes. They felt dry when I racked the slide, so a little grease in all the right spots and they rack pretty good now. will have to see what the trigger is like when I actually have time to hit the range, but one of the three had a noticeably better pull than the other two. I picked up 3 sets of night sights on Amazon for about $125, put those on this morning instead of the fiber optic's they came with. Have a cheap RMR coming in that I will try, just trying to make a budget blaster lol |
