I got my black full size grip the other day. I haven't shot it yet either, but so far I really like it. I don't have big hands, but it fits very well in my hands. I'm already contemplating buying another grip for my 2nd RXM and selling/trading my 15rd mags. Speaking of which, I noticed my RXM's have slightly different internal parts. They were purchased a few months apart. The later one has slightly goldish colored internals and the slide stop/release is different too. I need to take some pictures. |
|
Just wanted to report I was able to get out this morning and hit the range. Had both the 15rd and 17rd RXM with me, and I can't say enough good things. I had zero issues with either, as expected. The 17rd is my new favorite. Think I will still carry the 15rd, but the 17rd throughly impressed me. Edit; the minor size difference in the 17rd frame allows for a much improved grip, even with smaller/average hands. I was better able to control recoil and had a more pleasant shooting experience overall. |

Mine arrived on Wednesday and I swapped over to it. The full-size frame feels worlds better. It is the difference in the Glock 19 and 19X in Ruger form. I very passionately dislike the Glock 19 and shoot mine more poorly than the 17 or 26. I had purchased it as an “upgrade” from the 26 I carried but it never clicked with me over the years. The 19X on the other hand was love at first grip. Everything about it feels right and proper. Even though I can get a full grip on the 19 frame, there’s something ergonomically different (superior) for the slightly longer 17-style grip. The same is true with the RXM as well. It’s hard to quantify, especially since the Glock and RXM grips are different in shape and texture. They just both benefit from the length. Or perhaps it’s a psychological user issue.

Like somehow worse than any Glock I’ve ever owned. In fact I disliked it so much I took the red dot that I had put on it off and gave it to my kid for his airsoft rifle, then stuck the RXM in the safe. Bought the full size grip and liked the change so much that I put a Defender ST Enclosed and TLR7 HLX on it, bought a holster, and turned it into my winter carry/bedside gun. |

The fullsize is nice. It comes really close to the Polymer 80 G17 frame. Similar angle, but a bit more rounded. Honestly I like the P80 more, but they are defunct. I think Grey Ghost still uses the same molding, but those run about $120 stripped. I think magpul hit a home run with the full size grip. |

Option 1- Run the G19 length slide/barrel. Option 2- Run a G26 Slide + Comp Option 3- Chop and Bevel the Dust Cover to fit a G26 length slide. Optional: Cut a slot for a light in the existing dust cover for a TLR7 Sub. |

Looks pretty good. 4.5" barrel. Wonder if they'll sell the upper. https://ruger.com/products/rxm/specSheets/19443.html |

So far nobody has these in stock however. At least not anyplace I've seen. |

I would like to know the cause of failure as well. I've swapped 3 frames now and beyond stubborn pins I've had no issues. I can't think of anything that would cause feeding malfunctions either. You're not taking apart the slide or the FCU/FCI. Have you tried with dummy rounds or snap caps? Have you tried different magazines? What magazine(s) were you using? Did you try different ammo? What exactly is happening? Does it jam trying to loading a round from the magazine into the chamber? |

I'm sure it is user error in how I put it back together, but I followed the magpul instructions and am at a loss what I did wrong. You didn’t shoot it stock? |

Factory Glock 17 magazines. 115gr ball range ammo. All I had at the time. It jammed loading a round from the magazine, yes. Thanks |
Assembled another one a few months ago. My EDC, for now.

If anyone is looking for mags for their new fullsize frame I highly recommend the Mec Gar metal mags. They have been 100% reliable for me. Here's a photo of the 18 round flush fit next to the 20 rounder in the gun. Attached File |

Put a few hundred rounds through my RxM with an Aim JTT barrel installed. Muzzle flip was noticeably reduced and functioning was 100%. Attached File |

Everyone was taking so long to make a PDW chassis, I decided to just do it myself. This is a design I had done a few years ago for regular Glock 17 and DD17.2 rails for printed frames, but I was able to re-cut the internals to fit the RXM FCU and fix the spacing for the takedown lever, etc to match up. I also came up with a cross-bolt style manual safety based on what PSA teased on their upcoming PDW and it works really well. Didn't want to take the optic off my RXM slide so I threw this cheap G19 assembly on it to test, and still have to shoot it yet so we'll see if it holds up.

Looks really cool, hope it holds up. 3D printing is going to revolutionize the gun industry over the next twenty years as the tech gets better, and cheaper. |

When changing the grip, take care when depressing the slide lock spring. The punch slipped and launched it into low earth orbit. My wife and daughter were in the room and gave me a lot of grief. Thank the gods that Magpul included a replacement. |

I feel like a RMSC to Acro plate that uses all 4 recoil bosses is the way to go at the moment. The Viridian plates are pretty nice. The set screws are also much larger than the thread pitch used on a RMR, and you don't have to compromise with a shorter screw on the right side. You'll definitely need MOS height suppressor sights. Cosmetically there is a gap, but functionally it seems like the best option until a company makes something. I haven't changed the sights on that slide yet honestly. The front sight appears to be red loctited and I didn't want to heat it up and kill the tritium in the process. |

What I’m hoping for is a plate that fills the entire space, Roger apparently killed his project for these. I guess RXM owners are more Olight and Cyelee than Aimpoint and Trijicon or else the market demand would be there. |
