Any chance Ruger makes a 43x version of their RXM? With the success of the RXM I think they would make a killing on an improved 43x at a cost less than a Shadow Systems and with better quality than a Micro Dagger. |
Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you.

I doubt it. There's already aftermarket options for G43X clones, and they already have a lot of 9mm options. They already have the following 9mm options in addition to the RXM. All of them offering a "compact" carry size. EC9S All American (3 sizes) Max-9 (2 sized) Security-9 (2 sizes) 1911 (5 sizes/styles) |

Plus the issue of magazines. Magpul doesn't make a G43X magazine. They obviously won't send it with OEM Glock magazines. It's too risky to try their own hand at offering them (Mec-Gar is hopefully getting their G17 up to Mec-Gar reliability standards). But...... Say Ruger offers a quality magazine with 12 or 13 round capacity (since 15 still can't be made 100%, sorry PSA and Shield Arms), they would be in full time backorder for at least a year from owners of the G43X, G48, Micro Dagger and the SCT 43X frame. So many Ruger owners would be reluctant to buy the gun without a guarantee of getting extra magazines (they could offer a coupon code to buy x amount of spares, but that's an unwieldy solution). It's be neat as fuck however

They got a winner with the RXM and should take that FCG concept and expand it. Milk it for all it’s worth. |

Unless you work for Ruger, you have no idea what sells. The fact they keep coming out with variants of current models show they still sell and they're offering different versions to satisfy customer demand (you know the Glock weirdos who get one of each kind? Ruger has them as well). They're over a half year after release and they don't have their G26 magazine and G17 magazine frames out yet. I would love to see them offering a G19L slide, either separate or as a complete gun with the 17rd magazine (a direct answer to the G47). |

A vendor releases a modular platform and then IMMEDIATELY abandons it. This is truly never been seen before except like almost literally every modular firearm. |

I don't think you know the difference between a vendor and a manufacturer. I also don't think you understand the word abandons. If there was no mention on their website, that would be abandoning it. |
