@@rdrgear Bore axis plays a big part in how a handgun recoils in your hand. Glock chose a 22 degree grip angle to achieve a lower bore axis. In turn less felt recoil = flatter shooting = faster follow up shots.
So now we can get a Glock with the more desirable grip angle and Magpul texturing, metal sights, Optics cut and not have to be a fanboy cult member. Thanks Ruger.
Thank you for mentioning the grip angle. After watching 6 videos on the gun, you're the first to say it's a 1911 grip angle. I hate the Glock grip angle & was hoping this was 1911 type.
@@johnelder4273 To me with grip angles I have never felt a significant difference to even think about it. Nothing that I’ve picked up makes me think of It as being uncomfortable. I know every handgun shoots different, so any handgun you shoot you just have to get used to shooting them to be comfortable with them.
This is false. It doesn’t shoot flatter because of the grip angle. It’s just annoying that it points slightly high but realistically the difference in your wrist angle is absolutely minuscule. It shoots different for everyone and for me the Glock is snappier than something like a VP9 or M&P9. My smoothest shooting 9 is easily my 320. Not the flattest shooting but gets back on target quicker than any of my other handguns and that’s more important than being flat. A genuine Glock with a frame like Magpul or Shadow Systems would be the ultimate handgun but the current Glock frame really holds back Glock imo. Hopefully when we get a Gen 6 it’ll improve the frame letting you choose a 1911 angle or a Glock angle for those that can’t change lol.
The serialized trigger insert makes this model adaptable to aftermarket grip materials like aluminum and brass. A great design advantage. The flexible direct mount Red Dot system is also a design plus. Steel sights with tritium front sight is awesome.
@@hermanator74301 Heavier grip frame offsets recoil for those who are sensitive and is highly desired by anyone that competitively shoots. Notice how all competition guns use heavy frames.
I'm VERY partial to Shadow Systems and Glocks. I'm extremely happy Ruger finally made something like this. IF and mean IF the chassis system proves reliable and if ruger/magpul plays this correctly-they will sell MILLIONS. I hope they keep up with different barrels-comps-grips-slides ETC.
I hope glock marketshare shrinks. Guston dead now and germany is so anal about sellin us the good stuff we are better off going with ruger psa and hell bro look at colts ar offerings it really aint as bad as they make it out to be both colt and psa a making m16a4 clones and in most basically every country outside of usa thats basically only accessable to people who are military etc. You can spend a lot on a ddm4v7 but like for real psa will sell you a 16 inch barrel carbin for 500 bucks and both will get the job done bro. Glock so expensive you see how when their copyright on gen 3 ran up they started losing market share because all our guys started cloning. To me im dissapointed we dont have m3 grease guns for sale. Should redesign them to accept ar15 trigger. Abolish nfa and atf
The Polymer 80 frame's don't use a chassis system. I actually love the Polymer 80 frames. Interestingly Faxon has a Gen 3 Glock clone that uses Polymer 80's PF940C frame and they are running $1,000-$1,500.
Ruger designers sat down and said, “Let’s take this here Glock and make it what it shoulda been.” I’ve carried a Glock for 25 years. I’m a fan. This comes stock with a lot of things I’d do on the aftermarket.
My local shop got one in today, and I got to give it a good look over. It's basically a gen3 Glock 19 with a better trigger and better sights. The trigger isn't gritty like glock triggers and has a very nice reset. I've carried Glock for years and currently own a gen5 G45, and im thoroughly impressed with what ruger and magpul did with this handgun.
@@ARCNA442 Why fix something that isn't broke? The Gen 5's have some minor changes. Glock is the only pistol that I can completely take apart, down to its 30 + pieces. And put back together no gunsmith needed.
@@terrytolentino5459 Yep, the simplicity of Glock is the real selling point. It's a beautiful piece of engineering that few other guns can match. Most of the "innovation" people are calling for would just be adding complexity for marginal gains.

I was just looking at this gun an hour ago at a shop in Arizona. Pretty nice flat faced trigger, not too much takeup. Supposedly the Holosun 507C will mount right up to with no plates etc etc. I'm pretty sure that's the model the owner said.
I want to check this one out, badly. I have all Gen3 Glock 19 and 17, also several Daggers, including the full size Dagger. This one, with the better trigger, seems very appealing.
I think I really like it. Glock Gen 3 compatible, interior chassis so capable of different grips and slides, better trigger. Could very well be considered both Glock Gen 3 and Gen 6. Everyone innovates faster than Glock.
I've learned not to pay attention to the negative comments. Gun snobs are crybabies. Ive NEVER bought anything i didn't like and this thing is awesome. Fully capable ruger for 399? Yep!
Ehhhhh, that trigger pull test was a little suspect. He positioned the gauge at the absolute lowest possible point on the trigger shoe, which physics tell us will always measure the absolute lowest. If you take a stock Glock and do the same thing you'll get a pretty low pull weight too. The best practice for measuring trigger pulls is to measure at the point where the center of your finger would be where you naturally place it on the trigger, because physics tells us that this point is where the center of force on the trigger is being applied, which is where the true trigger pull weight will actually be felt.
He is also the first to review the gun (of the 4 or 5 I've watched) who mentioned the grip angle and the only one who took the chassis out of the grip frame. A very good job.
I watched some of the other videos about the RXM. You have the best camera work, Sootch. I feel like I only get a close up view of the firearm from your channel. Without a doubt the most complete and comprehensive video on the RXM. Thanks!
If they make a G26 clone, then I will definitely be interested. The only true clones of the G26 are a P80 build. The Shadow Systems and others use proprietary magazines, but I could see myself transferring that FCI into a smaller grip module or even a cool Flux Raider type Chassis for the Glock.
Thanks for the video. Got my RXM today. Took it apart and it looked lubed up and ready to go. Took it to the range and it ran 150 brass Blazers without any issues. Pretty accurate and fun to shoot! Very happy with my purchase. Waiting on the red dot for it now. Rangers... Lead the Way!
Definitely cheaper to have your slide machined and refinished($90-140) than to buy this pistol($499 MSRP). Having the slide machined also allows more options than the few optics that are direct fit to the Ruger. All that would be left is a grip reduction to get the same angle.
@@CzechSixTvthat’s the MSRP. They are being advertised at below $400. Watch and wait for problems. It’s most likely solid because Magpul makes good stuff. Ruger….not so much.
@@johnelder4273 It's not uncommon for street price to be much lower than MSRP, particularly on new releases. Personally I still wouldn't touch it at $399 until they've been out and run hard for a while. Do you remember the Remington R51 fiasco?

Wxcept this is an integrated package, so I don't have to worry about tolerance stacking. Honestly, if this had come out 2 years ago, I wouldn't have bothered building an 80%.
Hey Sootch. Can you make a comprehensive video explaining silencers? I have watched so many videos online, but I always come out with more questions than answers. I always feel that I learn so much from your videos and I actually understand your explanations clearly. Thanks in advance.
Mmm. Dang that mini 14 tactical hella expensive im just gonna have to save up i guess. Damn that thing would be nice how it folds when im ridin my motorcycle
2 things I wish they did: Not cut the stupid circle “loaded chamber indicator” port on the barrel hood. These just throw gas & carbon on the optic. It already has a loaded chamber indicator extractor Ruger! The other is I’d like a cold hammer forged barrel. Otherwise, seems like a good pistol for the $
A hammer forged barrel will up the price. It's Gen 3 Glock compatible so you can add whatever barrel you want. My favorite is Tactical Kenetics Spiral Fluted extended threaded barrel for G19 and I forget who's compensators I'm running but they were the only ones that matched my slides also from Tactical Kenetics.
@ Cold Hammer forging can make whatever type rifling they want. Ruger rifles have forged barrels with conventional rifling, it doesn’t have to be polygonal.
@@chrisb9478 yes I know that. I only mentioned it because Polygonal rifling requires use of Jacketed bullets so you can't use non jacketed bullets due to lead buildup issues. I enjoy match grade accuracy and the versatility of being able to run hard cast reloads safely and reliably.
Kinda both. "Hey guys do you like the proven reliablility of the 3rd gen glock with the FCU of a sig but don't want to support a company that spends more time in court and marketing meetings than at the range? Well we have the gun for you. And as a bonus we throw in a better grip angle, a better optics system, better grip texture and a better trigger at a better price"
The slide is very well done. The second pistol now that I've seen using the Strike Industries optics mounting system. Baught a Strike slide around six years ago with this optic mounting system.
Back when I still liked striker fired, polymer 9mm pistols, I really enjoyed my SR9C (despite having like 18 safeties 😆). It was very well made and fit my hand almost perfectly. But since I am now a DA/SA convert, I'm not likely to come back to the "Glockish" camp. The RXM looks nice, though. Love the gray.
Looks nice. I really wish manufacturers would stop cutting the top of the chamber to make a LCI. I’d probably put in a Glock or Shadow Systems barrel to keep my optic clean.
Well, you can call it a Glock clone all you want, one of the better ones from major manufacturers. Modular chassis Iron Sights Direct Optic mount for multiple Manufacturers Optics Good trigger Cost less.
Just ordered one today I am excited still love my glocks but this is the one, I have been waiting for and the price can’t beat it !!! Way to go ruger !
@@lazibayer Yes it has the factory hinged trigger. It's got about the same amount of take up as what I've seen in these Ruger review videos. Tell you what...that re-set ain't to shabby either. Not as good as my M&P with an Apex but most of the difference is in the take up being more but not excessive. It has gotten better over time to a slight degree also.
Definitely some nice upgrades. Grip angle is big, undercut, grip texture, optic cut, etc. are all very desirable. The chassis system is similar to what Zev uses which is a nice feature. For the price point, it may be worth picking one up to try it.
Better sights, trigger, and optics mounting system than Glock. Can swap grip modules out like Sig and MSRP will inevitably be much less than $499. I’ll definitely be picking one of these up next year.
I went with Tactical Kenetics Spiral Fluted extended threaded barrel and a 5 Port Comp. Price was $430 shipped. I had to have a match grade barrel with traditional rifling instead of the Polygonal rifling Glock and H&K use.
@@danrunner84 I just can’t get on board with shadow systems. Just seems like adding gold rims on a car with marginal improvement on performance. M&p is leaner, I would argue more reliable, cheaper, more ergonomic, ima just stop there. It’s also half the price.
Having worked at the Ruger plant in Prescott, AZ when the SR1911 was released, I would recommend picking up one of these early RXM pistols. Ruger management tends to put their best people on a build line that is showcasing a new firearm, so that the early release models are typically built by the more experienced and proficient employees. After a few months and the excitement wears down, the build line is populated by the average employees, which are hired off the street by SOS Staffing and have zero experience with guns or manufacturing. I just ordered a new RXM while they are being made by experienced employees and Ruger is hungry for positive reviews.
When we see the actual FC chassis modularity become reality, I’ll be sold. Compact, full size, sub compact, various barrel lengths, different colors? Sure. When they start selling.
@@joaopedrobaggio4475 it has this rounded block look, like a soap bar. It was a tank though! I think it was my first or second handgun and had a lot of neat features other things didn't. Theyre still out there and one of the most affordable 9s that can be found
Nice review Sooch. The instant I saw the gun I thought "Glock clone" and almost didn't watch. Buy you addressed the benefits of the similarities and pointed out the differences very well. I'm intrigued.
I found the case interesting. You can see It was def made to hold a full size grip and slide as well. I hope they expand this line quickly and magpul or other companies get creative with grip modules. Ruger and magpul might have something here.
Not a Glock person but if I were to take the plunge, I'd probably buy this one. As other commenters have said, Glock should have made this instead. Magpul and Ruger partnering is a good thing for the pistol industry especially with the increase in FCU platflorms. Sootch00, great video as usual!
I pick mine up next week. traded in my shield plus, only $200 on top of it. shield was too small, and I don't have the biggest hands. This fit my support hand with no issue, trigger feels fine, magazines are dirt cheap. I think it's the better option.
Lets be honest. Glock clones are really boring. This model has zero buying appeal to me. I still really enjoy my Ruger SR9. Which I would buy anyday over this model. Like the chassis system. But still won't buy the pistol.
Maybe they should have styled the slide after the sr9c and given it ambi slide release and ambi mag release. Looks like they may have left an almost pre-marked detail on the left side to cut out for a reverse-able release. SPN Firearms would be in love with a g26 sized version with an sr9 type slide. Glock better show up next month with a gen 6 chassis version with adjustable grip like the vp9, optics mount like the echelon, aggressive slide serrations like a pdp and back to the true polygonal bore.

Zev enters the chat
PSA announced one at shot show a couple years ago, but it never came to market
When a glock, sig and p mag love each other...
Glock should have done all of this years ago. Kind of sad that a grate company like Glock got outdone by Ruger, at least it wasn't KelTec.
Glock depends on a lot of social status to get people to pay extra
Looks like Glock & SA had a baby lol
its been almost a decade, love your reviews. Thanks and stay healthy.
Sorta resembles a Stoeger ST9. But having saifd that. I always like your vids. They are full of good INFO! Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by Brother!
Hey Sootch. Can you make a comprehensive video explaining silencers? I have watched so many videos online, but I always come out with more questions than answers. I always feel that I learn so much from your videos and I actually understand your explanations clearly. Thanks in advance.
Hopefully Magpul will make mini14 mags
Ruger did the Mini14 a mega disservice by not making it AR mag compatible! The mags they use are not only expensive, but are not easy to find.
Please Magpul make Ruger Mini 14 mags!!!
@@KC51-y7r I've been saying for years if ruger made a mini14 that took ar mags it would be a hit
Mmm. Dang that mini 14 tactical hella expensive im just gonna have to save up i guess. Damn that thing would be nice how it folds when im ridin my motorcycle
Nice simple rig, reliable,rugged, RUGER!!
2 things I wish they did: Not cut the stupid circle “loaded chamber indicator” port on the barrel hood. These just throw gas & carbon on the optic. It already has a loaded chamber indicator extractor Ruger! The other is I’d like a cold hammer forged barrel. Otherwise, seems like a good pistol for the $
A hammer forged barrel will up the price. It's Gen 3 Glock compatible so you can add whatever barrel you want. My favorite is Tactical Kenetics Spiral Fluted extended threaded barrel for G19 and I forget who's compensators I'm running but they were the only ones that matched my slides also from Tactical Kenetics.
I'm not a fan of the Glock Polygonal rifling. Tactical Kenetics is Match grade and uses traditional rifling.
@ Cold Hammer forging can make whatever type rifling they want. Ruger rifles have forged barrels with conventional rifling, it doesn’t have to be polygonal.
@@celmer6 True Precision makes accurate pistol barrels too, made in GA. Not forged, but I like them & there’s no dumb hood circle cutout. 😁
@@chrisb9478 yes I know that. I only mentioned it because Polygonal rifling requires use of Jacketed bullets so you can't use non jacketed bullets due to lead buildup issues. I enjoy match grade accuracy and the versatility of being able to run hard cast reloads safely and reliably.
I'd be in for an RxM-c, a 43X version of this. Get on it fellas
Star Date 2074: "Grandpa, can you tell me the story about when Ruger built that Glock, again?"😂
Folks are fixated on Glock, but the real target competitor of this design is Sig.
facts
No competition there...Sig for the win.
Kinda both. "Hey guys do you like the proven reliablility of the 3rd gen glock with the FCU of a sig but don't want to support a company that spends more time in court and marketing meetings than at the range? Well we have the gun for you. And as a bonus we throw in a better grip angle, a better optics system, better grip texture and a better trigger at a better price"
The Ruger Perfection
Oh yea….thats a good one.
LOLOL
The slide is very well done. The second pistol now that I've seen using the Strike Industries optics mounting system. Baught a Strike slide around six years ago with this optic mounting system.
Back when I still liked striker fired, polymer 9mm pistols, I really enjoyed my SR9C (despite having like 18 safeties 😆). It was very well made and fit my hand almost perfectly. But since I am now a DA/SA convert, I'm not likely to come back to the "Glockish" camp. The RXM looks nice, though. Love the gray.
Once you go DA/SA you never go back.
Looks nice. I really wish manufacturers would stop cutting the top of the chamber to make a LCI. I’d probably put in a Glock or Shadow Systems barrel to keep my optic clean.
Well, you can call it a Glock clone all you want, one of the better ones from major manufacturers.
Modular chassis
Iron Sights
Direct Optic mount for multiple Manufacturers Optics
Good trigger
Cost less.
Sootch has the best intro music. Doo doo do do doo doo do do 😅
I'm digging this a lot.
Just ordered one today I am excited still love my glocks but this is the one, I have been waiting for and the price can’t beat it !!! Way to go ruger !
Woah that trigger is much lighter than I would expect from a glock clone at this price range.
I just put the trigger pull gauge on my Dagger and in 5 tries it averaged a 2.4 pound trigger pull.
@hermanator74301 does it have factory trigger?
@@lazibayer Yes it has the factory hinged trigger. It's got about the same amount of take up as what I've seen in these Ruger review videos. Tell you what...that re-set ain't to shabby either. Not as good as my M&P with an Apex but most of the difference is in the take up being more but not excessive. It has gotten better over time to a slight degree also.
I think Ruger just made an actual Law Enforcement duty gun !
Not with a 3.5 lb trigger they didn't
@ good point
@@GPG7754 Easy to put a heavier spring in for LE sales though.
They did that years ago with the P series.
They have made many unpopular duty guns in the past.
This is the best thing in the long run. Swappable FCU for G26 frames, G17 frames, I'm super stoked for the future
Can’t wait til a company like Icarus precision makes a metal grip module for this
You got that right
The Ruger RXM is as much as just a Sig FCU. This is awesome
My biggest complaint with Glock is the grip angle. 1911 is a dream angle… Nice review. Thanks.
Thanks Brother
Definitely some nice upgrades. Grip angle is big, undercut, grip texture, optic cut, etc. are all very desirable. The chassis system is similar to what Zev uses which is a nice feature. For the price point, it may be worth picking one up to try it.
Of course he has one. The one place where there is never a bad review.
They didn't send you one free to review?
Yup
You don’t have to troll here. Many other channels you can watch.
@@ronandt9913 RDR has his own channel with actual reviews, rather than demos
@@ronandt9913 not really trying to troll. It’s just an honest assessment.
Finally Glock we all have wanted the whole time ...
That's about the trigger weight of the Timney Alpha.
Better sights, trigger, and optics mounting system than Glock. Can swap grip modules out like Sig and MSRP will inevitably be much less than $499. I’ll definitely be picking one of these up next year.
Street price is $399!
@@ninjagold9244wow😮that’s awesome! 👏🏻
Perfect companion to the PC carbine with magpul stock.
Ill wait till comp/ ported version comes out but will be buying
I went with Tactical Kenetics Spiral Fluted extended threaded barrel and a 5 Port Comp. Price was $430 shipped. I had to have a match grade barrel with traditional rifling instead of the Polygonal rifling Glock and H&K use.
I love how many platforms use OEM glock mags.
Lots of options that are all supported by a quality mag
After 40 years, you would think it's about time someone actually came out with a decent Glock Clone. Personally, I will stay with my Glocks.
The smith and Wesson M&p bruh.
The sigma lineage.
Shadow systems says “Hold my beer”
@@danrunner84 I just can’t get on board with shadow systems. Just seems like adding gold rims on a car with marginal improvement on performance.
M&p is leaner, I would argue more reliable, cheaper, more ergonomic, ima just stop there. It’s also half the price.
Everybody makes an improved Glock clone. Glock, "perfection", is very stale.
Love the modular design.
Homeboys on the skreet will still call it a Glock.
As will bubba and all the boys in the trailer park.
Kamala has one... 😂
Having worked at the Ruger plant in Prescott, AZ when the SR1911 was released, I would recommend picking up one of these early RXM pistols. Ruger management tends to put their best people on a build line that is showcasing a new firearm, so that the early release models are typically built by the more experienced and proficient employees.
After a few months and the excitement wears down, the build line is populated by the average employees, which are hired off the street by SOS Staffing and have zero experience with guns or manufacturing. I just ordered a new RXM while they are being made by experienced employees and Ruger is hungry for positive reviews.
I'm buying!!!
When we see the actual FC chassis modularity become reality, I’ll be sold. Compact, full size, sub compact, various barrel lengths, different colors? Sure. When they start selling.
Did Ruger just 3D print a Glock? Lol 😂
Thanks for taking the chassis/FCU out. It’s great to see how easy that is.
Man and people complained about the p89 being ugly..
I don't that the P89 is an ugly gun, and i wish that Ruger could bring this gun back.
@@joaopedrobaggio4475 it has this rounded block look, like a soap bar. It was a tank though! I think it was my first or second handgun and had a lot of neat features other things didn't. Theyre still out there and one of the most affordable 9s that can be found
Best/most complete review I've seen on the product.
Looks like a good weapon!
Sootch always gives the best detail and presentation of features and shooting performance.
Ruger + Magpul = Sootch00!!! Thank you for the lat minute of the video, totally you don't disappoint...
Its like a p320 but drop safe 😊
And rainbows are just like German Shepherds....
Pretty much, almost like if Block had taken the qualities of the 320.and added to their platform....but they refuse so ruger did it 😂
1:06. Called it the RMX on the screen.😂
I always come to sootch00 when I need a new gun. Thanks sootch been a fan for years
The Glocker RXM
Always watch your videos before I consider buying a new gun. Appreciate the honesty.
Like it would be nice if they did a 10mm.
And a 40 S&W…
@@christ6463a 10mm gun can fire 40 S&W. Why make a 40 that can’t fire 10mm?
Nice review Sooch. The instant I saw the gun I thought "Glock clone" and almost didn't watch. Buy you addressed the benefits of the similarities and pointed out the differences very well. I'm intrigued.
Rmx or rxm ??
Thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately it is what it is. Thanks Bob
RMX should be the bicycle that comes with the gun, extra Christmas present
It's both
I found the case interesting. You can see It was def made to hold a full size grip and slide as well. I hope they expand this line quickly and magpul or other companies get creative with grip modules. Ruger and magpul might have something here.
PSA labeled Ruger
Not even close.
Ruger said " If you can't beat em, join em'"😂 nice looking gun no doubt.
Hold off on buying until the standard new Ruger product recall comes out. Should be ok in about 6 months.
Not a Glock person but if I were to take the plunge, I'd probably buy this one. As other commenters have said, Glock should have made this instead. Magpul and Ruger partnering is a good thing for the pistol industry especially with the increase in FCU platflorms. Sootch00, great video as usual!
Glock clone
Definitely
I pick mine up next week. traded in my shield plus, only $200 on top of it. shield was too small, and I don't have the biggest hands. This fit my support hand with no issue, trigger feels fine, magazines are dirt cheap. I think it's the better option.
Lets be honest. Glock clones are really boring. This model has zero buying appeal to me.
I still really enjoy my Ruger SR9. Which I would buy anyday over this model.
Like the chassis system. But still won't buy the pistol.
Maybe they should have styled the slide after the sr9c and given it ambi slide release and ambi mag release. Looks like they may have left an almost pre-marked detail on the left side to cut out for a reverse-able release. SPN Firearms would be in love with a g26 sized version with an sr9 type slide. Glock better show up next month with a gen 6 chassis version with adjustable grip like the vp9, optics mount like the echelon, aggressive slide serrations like a pdp and back to the true polygonal bore.
