If you have knowledge of a particular chassis that has been proven to work with the RXM, feel free to post that information here. Magpul dude says Ruger RXM grip frames will be available in June or possibly July. I was really hoping they would be out soon and still can't fathom why they didn't have them ready at launch  .

Sharps Bros has one version available Attached File Attached File Attached File SBGM27. Sharps Bros grip module for the Ruger RXM - Bronze/Black$334.95 Comparable in size. Superior in feel.The Ruger OEM RXM grip measures 1.15" wide with a rectangular profile and rounded corners. Our Sharps RXM grip module is slightly wider at 1.3" at its broadest point, but its oval contour makes it feel more ergonomic in the hand. Despite being just 0.15 cubic inches larger in volume - a difference about the size of a pencil eraser - it offers a far more natural grip. We also steepened the grip angle to 15 degrees, promoting better wrist alignment, quicker sight picture, and improved recoil control. Machined from billet 7075 aluminum. This model coated in Midnight Bronze Cerakote and features black anodized aluminum grip panels. Their main RXM page with future options |

| I just put a G23 slide on my RXM frame and my RXM slide/optic on my PSA Dagger-S frame. So when the full size grip frames come available I will have a 23X (I had that with the PSA of course) and G45 knockoff. I will check it for function but I like it... |

All four colors of the standard compact grip frame are available from Magpul. The full length grip (G45 style) is in stock in black, FDE and ODG at this time (gray has been available a couple of times in the last ten days). No G26L version yet. https://magpul.com/firearm-accessories/grips/ruger-rxm.html |

Sweet baby Jesus on fire. Gonna need a damn lawyer and a miracle to pull my ass outta this.
My full size grey one should arrive tomorrow. If the grip feels really good I will then buy a complete RXM, as I don't like the G19 grip length, and then either dye it or order a black since they weren't available when I ordered. The other option is the full length grip doesn't really excite me and I've only blown $40 and resist the desire to go pick up a Shield X.

I'm glad to finally see the full length grip frames for $50 shipped, but $40 is more gooder

All four colors of the standard compact (G19) and the full length magazine well (G45) are in stock at this time at Magpul's website. Attached File I'll update the thread when the G26 magazine version starts to become available (G26L to be more exact). Also when any commercial products are available. I'd still love to see a Wilson Combat frame, but I doubt it will ever happen. |

My full size grey frame came today. Feels good in the hand with the exception of the typical tiny trigger guard. I get serious trigger finger rub with this design which is why I dont own any Glocks, have several clones with dremeled trigger guards. Will probably do the same to this one, but I will say the grip size itself is perfect and so is the texture. Will be picking up an RXM compact to get the guts for this one at some point in the next month. I like the dark grey so much better in person than the advertised image.

I wouldn't be shocked if they do come out with a Gen3 G47 style slide.

You HAVE TO USE A Gen5 G17 barrel.

I see very little reason for them to make another RXM, unless it's a 10 mm. They might be able to interchange some internal parts, maybe. But there's no other calibers in that frame size I see worthwhile for 2026. |

Originally Posted By dmk0210: I'm a little confused about RXM G17 compatibility vs G19 compatibility, but it's cool that you we can do that! It’s not too bad, just esoteric Glock stuff. The RXM is a G19.3 form factor. (Which is essentially universal between all generations of the 19.) 15-shot frame, shorter dust cover to correspond with the shorter slide. You couldn’t swap a 17.3 slide on the 19.3 frame since the dust cover and recoil system wouldn’t match up. The 19X and 45 were the first of their shorter slide with the longer 17-shot grip. Those could not accept the standard G17 slide since the frames are set up for the 19-length recoil. Ah, but what if we could simplify the parts and make the 19/19X frame the standard for all the 9mm guns?! Hence the G47 is born, it gets the full-length barrel like the 17 but married to the short recoil system of the 19, thus compatible with the shorter dust cover of the 19/19X. I don’t think it looks right personally. So with the RXM we now have the variations in frame sizes for the variety of magazines, but so far the only slides that will work with them are the RXM original or 19.3 original/clones. What we need now is a clone Gen 3 G47-style slide that offers the 17-length barrel with the shorter 19-length recoil system. The linked adapter above is one way to kludge it together but a native slide from AIM or Brownells or whoever would be pretty sweet. That said, the 19X is a phenomenal design especially when suppressed as it balances the extra length with the can with the abbreviated barrel/slide. The RXM with the full-size grip may be the idea combo. (I would probably still buy a 47.3 slide for it though!) |

If they offer a longer slide, I guarantee it will fit the current FCI. That means it will be interchangeable with every current Gen3 G19 frame on the market. |

I forgot to mention earlier, but Gen5 G17 (or G34 or G17L) barrel must be used with any G19 based frame. PSA Dagger C1 & X1 are Gen3 G19L configurations. Brownells used to offer a Gen3 G19L slide. Current Gen4 versions are available. People have adapted Gen4 slides to the RXM by opening the front channel of the grip frame for the larger nose. https://www.alphashootingsports.com/Enhanced-Combat-Slide-for-G19L-Gen4-Close-Out-p/g19lecsg4.htm https://mdxarms.com/mdx-arms-g19l-ecs-long-gen4-complete-slide/ Shadow Systems are all derivatives of the Gen4 G19. The slides of the DR920 & MR920L are essentially G19L slides. When I parted out a DR920, the buyer of the slide was putting it on his Gen4 G19 frame and the buyer of the frame was going to use a Gen4 G19 slide with a radian ramjet style comp to fit flush with the dustcover. |

Even S&W is selling M&P slides separately now. |

The G17 Gen 5 locking block was changed to be like the G19 locking block for parts commonality. G17 barrels with the G 1-4 locking block interface will not fit. This, exactly. Anybody who is into Glocks 25 years ago may remember when people started putting G19 and G23 barrels and their G26 and G27. Then somebody decided to put their G17 for G22 barrel in the G19 or G23 and shit got all locked up  Gen5 saved us from all of that. You can drop a Gen5 G17L barrel in your G26 if you want Unrelated, but something else us old block users had to deal with was making sure we got the correct magazine extensions because magazine extensions for the FML magazines didn't fit the NFML (so called non-drop free). |

Got my fullsize yesterday. First impression is very positive. For some reason it fits my smallish hand better. I'll get it swapped out sometime this week. Been a casual Glock user over the years. The RXM is really impressing me. Not sure why exactly, perhaps some subtle differences in grip, but this thing is really looking good. |
|
Did the order using a different email address without issue. I did notice during the address verification part it listed the county I live in, which their account management tools don't have the county in it. The river splits our town/zip code and on the other side is one county and where I live is a different county. I had this problem with Apple 20+ years ago with iTunes. Maybe they'll fix it. Anyways, looking forward to getting the full size module. |

Got mine two days ago. I am really liking the full size grip in OD. I am not usually an OD guy. Balances nicely. Attached File |

When these started popping up on Magpul's website I backordered one from Brownells. Came in yesterday. I like it. holster is a Vedder light tuck for a G19. You have to tighten the tension screw down all the way to hold the RXM snug. Feels good though.    With M&P 9 (full size frame/4" barrel)

They really need to do a radius around the outside of the trigger guard. Or some sand paper just to take off the "harsh" edge. My biggest complaint against a lot of manufacturers. My full size frame should be here next week. Originally Posted By Rugby3: My full size grey frame came today. Feels good in the hand with the exception of the typical tiny trigger guard.

Originally Posted By DavidY: Icarus Precision (IP) now offers to replacement grip frames for the RXM. They take the Gen4 magazine release and spring but are not included. I’m contemplating trying out the RXM because I appreciate the options that the chassis system offers to configuring things the way I like them. I’d really like to see Magpul offer a version of their grip for the Gen 4 mag release. That’s one feature that I prefer over the Gen 3 design. Seems like an opportunity to offer the best possible features as long as you’re making things modular. I’m not sure if there are any copyright issues though with post-Gen 3 Glock designs.
