Not much Ruger or Magpul left. Wonder how heavy I can get this thing lol.. Steel god rod is on the way. I will be keeping the mag release/trigger shoe as is though. Attached File Attached File Excuse the OLight, but honestly the battery powered versions are decent for the money. I don't trust the rechargeables. The Comp is a SCT, only works with OEM slides sadly. But it does work with Remsport. It's basically a great value Ramjet Comp. 50 state legal too. Not sure what to do with the Ruger Slide and barrel.. Buy another SCT frame?  Sharpsm does have a magwell that converts the grip length to a G17. Wonder if that will balance it out a bit. Isn't really a carry gun or anything. |

Is that the comp and barrel that Aim Surplus was selling for $199? Edit.... I see they were closed out for $99.99  I probably would have picked up one for that price

Got the RXM out of jail this morning, and ran 300 flawless rounds through it. Mix of weights. Its definitely going to be a learning curve, after the years of shooting and carrying a P320 and a P365 Macro. But the grip was more comfortable than I was expecting. My biggest gripe is getting my support hand set up right. Something doesn't feel natural. Second grip is the takedown pin getting hot with rapid fire. Once I get my Macro back from my brother, I'll have to make a choice on which to carry. But I feel well served by the RXM. Oh, the OSight red dot worked flawlessly, as well. As big as it looks, I don't think it takes away from concealed carry at all. Attached File Attached File |

Well today at lunch I hit up a few of the pawn shops near my work just browse as I am often prone to do, and one of them had an RXM with Primary arms RS-15 red dot on it. after a bit of negotiation i talked them down to $300 plus tax. Attached File i didnt know much about this red dot, but after googling it seems like its a C-More pattern red dot. which is... interesting. From my understanding the RXM is able to accept RMR, DPP, & RMSc pattern optics which are not interchangeable with the c-more footprint. when i get home today i'm gonna pull the optic off and see whats up. I bet the previous owner just put screws in and there are none of the locator pins installed. |

It's my understanding that the holes for the DPP and the C-More match up. Since there are no built in recoil bosses, it'll fit. The ACSS version has a standard price of $359, so you got quite the deal. If the pawn shop is in the Dallas area and you don't mind sharing, send me a PM and I'll check them out one day

If the pawn shop is in the Dallas area and you don't mind sharing, send me a PM and I'll check them out one day I pulled the optic off the slide and sure enough it was just held on by screws. I question if that’s a good idea as I’m worried the screws will shear after a bit. I’m debating re-mounting it up. Although I did call Ruger today and told them that I had just acquired it second hand and that there were no optic locator pins included, I asked how much it would be to have a set sent out to me plus the optic cover plate. No charge, they said they’d get the in the mail. Now I wait for magpul to release the full size grip module I DM’d you the pawn shop info Edit. Fuck it. I Put some loctite on the screws, grabbed my torque driver and mounted it back up. We’ll see if it holds |

I think i'm going to end up dropping a holosun 407c that is currently an orphan in my collection on this thing once i get the locator pins in the mail anyways. |

Originally Posted By D_Man: You have to buy the black grip module separately to make one. Not a fan of the grey. I bought the black grip at the same time as my RXM. That was the first thing I changed. I might pick up the tan grip though. I kind of like the two tone look. |

Surprised in the sense that Ruger themselves hasn’t leaned on them to get the accessories out. It has to be hurting some sales. Completely unsurprised since this is just Magpul now. Can’t execute, no ability to stick to a deadline, more focused on the lifestyle business. Probably kept afloat by government PMAG sales. At this point I think AC-Unity is better when it comes to mags, Strike Industries attempts to innovate even if it’s occasionally weird, UTG Pro has quality American-made (and Taiwan-made) gear for comparable prices, and so on. Magpul just flew too close to the sun and after the founder sold out, it’s just another company run by a New York City private investment group. I’m watching for the debt-loading step and the inevitable bankruptcy since that’s the script most of them follow. |

Sure  If I had known Magpul was such a shitty company with the inability to send out products, I wouldn't have even bothered buying one when I did. But as long as they have their gay ass clothing line, people will line up for them. |

I can’t complain about the stock grip, though, it’s about as good as you can expect a stock grip to be for both function and comfort when carried. |

I agree 100% if you're wanting to keep a G19 length grip. I like the RXM G19 size grip over most others, but I bought it for the ability to have a G17 length grip (without any added doodads). It would be a good battle between a Wilson Combat G45 variant and the Magpul. |

If fighting these lawsuits is not profitable for them, how can Ruger or anyone else using a Gen3 clone stand up to it? |

Well damn. Here’s to hoping Ruger somehow finds the wherewithal to fight and win against these losers. This needs to stop here and now. |

Well shit, that sucks. I have 2 already, so I'm good on that front. But think I'm going to pick up some spare parts just in case if there is anything left to buy. I'm afraid this will kill any chance of ever seeing additional grip frames, at least from Magpul/Ruger. I hope I'm wrong. |

I only have about 1500 rounds through it but I am pretty impressed with the reliability and how well it shoots. I really feel it's basically "just as gud" as my Gen 5 G19 with some better features. Some of the things I have done are a LWD-721 connector along with the 25 cent Glock trigger job, I Rit dyed my grey frame black and just put in a spare G19 threaded barrel. The HS EPS is on a Freedom Gorilla plate. And fuck those people trying to get Ruger to stop making the RXM. I hope Ruger tells them to ESAD!

I might be incorrect, but I was under the impression the RXM was not able to be 'converted' by a 'switch' like the Glock. Maybe it doesn't use the 'cruciform' style trigger bar? I'm not saying it can't, it's just not as simple as the Glock. TX22 for example, it can be done but there's a bit of work involved to install it and making certain it runs right. |

I forgot to mention, but the Glock SCD (Striker Control Device) also fit on the RXM slide and functioned exactly like it did on my Gen 3 Glocks. It appears that other than the FCI frame, locking block and trigger housing that all the other RXM internal parts are basically the same as a Gen 3 Glock.
