This is a great video on the subtle differences and absolute improvements over what Glock perfection still isn't. When they release a 17 size frame will definitely pull the trigger on one. Currently have 3 P80's, 19 & 26 sized and a 19 frame 17 slide length. I enjoy those along with both frame sizes of PSA Daggers. |

I just can't stand the G19 length any longer and switched back to my Gen4 G17. I love the longer grip, but boy howdy does the RXM feel A LOT better to me. I DEFINITELY have to remove the finger grooves and undercut the trigger guard on the G17. The RXM really feels great to me. COME ON MAGPUL, HURRY UP!

Buy yeah, I'm buying one, when the G17 sizes come out. |

Ran mine with a rmr yesterday. 500 147 and 200 115. Worked flawlessly. Sealed the upper onto a Glock lower, worked fine. Glock upper on a rxm lower worked as well. Overall very impressed with it for the price point. I think they have a seller here. I also would t be surprised to see more chassis system as we already metal frames now. I’ll still use my 2011, but for carry, It’s a good option. Cheap and reliable. Just need time on the dueling tree to speed up. Should have 1000 through by this weekend, if not closer to 1500. Works in my Glock 19 holsters. Hopefully Magpul get more gear out and we see an investment from Ruger. That with some after market support should propel it well. |

I accidentally bought the FS-s Dagger frame (I thought I was ordering a full size G17 clone frame), and it turned out I like it a lot. I really like the shape of the grip. I woulda got more than one if I'd had a chance to hold them first. I like the RXM on paper, but I don't like being first on the bandwagon - or a beta tester. I'm waiting for more info and maybe for more versions to be available. |
The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see.
I've heard very few issues with the gun itself. Couple people had barrels that weren't the best but were replaced quickly. A couple people got slides that weren't marked rxm. I think of that more of a funny collectible than anything  Now we're just playing the waiting game on Magpul versus the aftermarket. This ARFCOM thread already has information on Icarus precision aftermarket frames. They are planning them in the G19 and G45 style. Price was above $400. |

Mine had fu rifling and if you looked in the muzzle a 1\4" back from the crown it was shit. Apparently Ruger knows about it and just sent me a new barrel. Some sort of fixturing error. Yes it is something they shouldn't have sent out. |

RXM Holosun K-Cut plate is now available. It fills in the entire optic cut, leaving no gap and does not require new or modified placement pins. https://freedomgorilla.com/products/ruger-rxm-to-holosun-407k-507k-eps-carry-scs-carry-adapter-plate?_pos=1&_psq=Rxm&_ss=e&_v=1.0 |

The funnel on it looks great. Maybe Brouwer will do an RXM version of their 1811 frame.

That kind makes me want to buy one now. Curious if it's a Gen 3 or Gen 4 mag release. Im terrible at telling the difference from the off side. |

Somebody said it made sense because they didn't know if the gun was going to be a flop. Then why bother announcing what you're already planning to release? They should have kept their mouth shut if they didn't know if they were actually going to produce them. I hate to sound harsh, but the RXM grip frame feels soooo much better to me than any generation G19. But I just can't deal with a G19 length grip frame anymore. |

Flop is too strong a word but I think both companies underestimated the market response. This is really the only logical reason the other accessories weren't and still aren't available. |

That's the kind of nickel and diming that a company of ruger's size should be ashamed of. Some people won't buy an extra frame, others will buy an extra and some people would treat them like damn Barbie dolls and buy one in each color. Think about how much a dumb shit Magpul makes that are very limited in scope. Even if they didn't think it was worthwhile, Ruger should go ahead and have them made just for Ruger to sell directly. Sell a limited edition with all three grip frames. Just don't pull a Sig or S&W and put a damn challenge coin in there

| For the price of the frames I would expect them to sell a bunch. Its a cheap way to practice stippling and frame mods without the need for a transfer like a glock frame. |

They need to start selling them as complete guns, in the different configurations, or with multiple frames. If they really wanna compete with Glock, start selling them with RMRs and other optics, properly mounted to the slide. Alot of the people who like to tinker with stuff, already got P80s or whatever other Glock or clones... The remaining untapped market are the casual gun owners who don't want to mess around with changing or installing their own parts. That's one thing Glock has gotten right lately, with their newest release with the Aimpoint mounted. |

Trigger was not horrible but not great either, that and a red dot would be all I would do. |

I've never owned anything from Magpul before. What sort of time frame get people expect between the official announcement and them actually shipping? |

I handled the RXM at the shop, and while the grip angle wasn't exactly what I would have liked, it was close enough. All I have done so far is swap the trigger connector with a Lone Wolf 721 and added a Holosun 407c. I'm happy with the results.  |

I was considering parting mine out since I got $300 for the slide, but it's actually a damn good choice and I'm keeping it 😁. |

The 19 sized frames even from P80 and Daggers I've had to dremel to make them shootable for higher round counts. |
