The Brand New Ruger RXM Pistol | First Shots and Impressions!

[@tomilove3856]

Chassis system, better grip/ergonomics, better sights, better trigger, and better optics mounting system than a Glock for about $400. I’m definitely getting one of these

[@shmoopsIII]

Yep, the full reviews come back saying it’s good to go and I’m sold. Then tagging flux on ever single piece of content put out about this platform.

[@muddyrivertactical]

Value wise it wins for sure! Thanks for watching

[@cosyfoot7867]

@@shmoopsIIIforget flux and how overpriced it is. Magpul could do this and they’re in on the aftermarket already. They already said they’ll be releasing a 12 round frame and 17 round frame compatible with this. Why not just a different frame with an integrated brace for this FCI?

[@shmoopsIII]

@@cosyfoot7867 I agree. Would love to see it from them. I will say in defense of flux, they do get the details right compared to others on the market, getting the optic high enough so it’s not physically awkward to get your eyes in line, the two stage mag release, brace deployment. But I would def like to see magpul get something out that matches at least two of those three for cheaper.

Street price for the gun at my local gun store is 379 dollars

[@Alexanderofthe9th]

You got a badass lgs. All mine are real proud of their inventory and the prices reflect that. Wannna do a transfer instead? Sure! $70 😂🤦‍♂️

[@alanmeyers3957]

Smoking deal!

[@shanetigue8048]

Ruger finally made a pistol that I like the way it looks!!!

[@muddyrivertactical]

Thanks for watching

[@karlcain1068]

May be underselling here… This is in legit affordable“Gen 6” territory for an obvious and past due design evolution Glock has made no indications they aim to develop…

[@muddyrivertactical]

Time will tell for sure

[@fredfred3624]

You forget to mention that you can remove the fire control unit which means down the road there might be different grips, etc. etc

[@garytucholl7699]

Indicators are, there will be different frame sizes (17 & 26 sizes) and different colors (FDE, OD green, and black) besides the gray. Magpul is already selling the black grip module for 40 bucks on their website.

[@shmoopsIII]

@@garytucholl7699I hope they have a flux-like option in the plans.

[@muddyrivertactical]

Yes sir I addressed it in video. The serialized part is the trigger chassis

[@funkla65]

Ok, Kevin - I have to make a correction here. The Rost Martin RM1C is basically an Arex Delta M clone. No Glock parts will swap into it. That said, you definitely know how to make an RM1C holster; got a pair of them (both OWB & IWB), and they fit great. This Ruger/Magpul collab looks smart to me. The chassis frees Magpul to offer grip modules without dealing with FFL issues, and the sight system is really squared away. At the price point it ought to be a big seller.

[@muddyrivertactical]

You are correct. I’m just talking about in terms of look, feel, and what they were trying to do by “ improving “ old designs

[@bokkenwielderful]

I do find the "if glock is perfection why is there a gen 5" and "if glock not perfect why so many clones?" To be an imperfect but slightly amusing dichotomy.

[@Majeskty]

Ruger came up with way to mount Electronic sights to fit many Dot Sights straight on to the frame, NO PLATE ADAPTER! This is something other manufacturers have not done, so this very new and I will suspect others will start to copy in future products. Appears from this review and other’s that have flooded KZbin, this will be a winner for Ruger/Magpul with the RUGER RXM.

[@kenhoward3512]

Springfield's Echelon model has had a direct-mount slide for optics since it went on sale (last year?).

[@Majeskty]

@ Good to know, I have a M&P 2.0 with a Holosun direct to frame sight. However this sight was specific for this pistol only for the direct to frame. However it appears from other videos that Ruger has several holes for mounting using a plug insert then mounting screws. The holes can account for like 15 variations direct to frame. It’s a bit different than other mounting systems. One video did say if their system didn’t work then a plate could be used.

[@joerazli3267]

wrong! Springfield Echelon came out first with direct slide optic mount commercially at least. But way back in the 90s many custom gunsmiths were already doing direct slide optic mount for the USPSA Modified Divison pistols when Docter was the optic of choice.

[@leesamuelson]

@@joerazli3267 Springfield did not create anything on their own. Ruger already had the PIN system in their LCP max well before the Echelon ever came out. Shadow systems also had the several mounting holes in slide well before the Echelon came out. All Springfield did was combine two ideas from OTHER companies to make their own. hardly innovation. They ripped off two other ideas to make their own. So Ruger already used a pin system well before the Echelon ever dropped.

[@kenandbarbie-b6c]

@@leesamuelson Who copied who?😂

[@jesseboutdoors]

I’m interested more in the frame. I’d like to check it out.

[@muddyrivertactical]

Thanks for watching!

[@jaredw289]

Not to mention it comes red dot ready and direct into slide instead of plate. Steel night sight. Cant beat that for price.

[@muddyrivertactical]

Agreed. Thanks for watching

[@DazdnCofuzd]

Actually, it reminded me of the Smith and Wesson SD series.

[@muddyrivertactical]

Thanks for watching

[@anotherbluenova6358]

I got my Black Friday. G19 hybrid. It looks like a Ruger may end up in it. Has a Grit Grip with PSA slide in it now.

[@muddyrivertactical]

Thanks for your support!

[@alanmeyers3957]

I wouldn't call it a gen 3 clone, it's quite a bit different.

[@muddyrivertactical]

Thanks for watching

[@Lakanen263]

This is off topic but I just got a holster from you for my Bodyguard 2.0 and the thing is awesome. Thanks

[@petervoyt24]

same here, the BG 2.0 holster is top notch. And MRT went over the top by shipping me a standard clip even after I had ordered the ULTICLIP. Kevin and his group are definitely first class !

[@muddyrivertactical]

We appreciate you and your support more than you know. Thank you!

[@robertmiller5029]

Me too! Just received my Muddy River kydex iwb holster for my S&W Shield Plus. Really nice, another winner. Thanks, Kevin! 👍 🇺🇸

I like it just because it doesn’t say Glock on it.

[@muddyrivertactical]

Thanks for watching!

[@SplashOfOrange]

I don't have anything against Glock, I just don't have one, and got into EDC when there were plenty of other options. That said, I do think that for the money this is a better Glock than the Glock it's based on. If I was looking for a new reliable basic beater gun this looks like a pretty good option.

[@glocksp80smd]

All these companies steal from glock and it's hilarious taurus , ruger and many , many more

[@muddyrivertactical]

Been happening for years and don’t see it going away anytime soon. Thanks for watching

[@raystack6250]

They have to compete with the dagger 259.95 $ on sale

[@joer6571]

I bet a simpler, more price competitive model is coming. No optics cut, plain sights. Then with Ruger dropping these in every gun shop in America, they’ll sell well.

[@shmoopsIII]

I would say it being a chassis system, more versatile mounting system, and higher trust in ruger QC make it pretty competitive. The chassis will be a VERY big draw for a growing part of the market.

[@rsl82568]

I hope the finish holds up like a Glock. Ruger handguns have rust problems.

[@leesamuelson]

slide and barrel are nitride not blued like their other guns. So should hold up well.

[@muddyrivertactical]

It should. Time will tell though

[@dwightphillips4081]

I think this is what Glock should have been 10 years ago it's the same that they're not being very innovative

[@muddyrivertactical]

For sure. Thanks for watching

[@josephpepe2607]

Innovative lmao you sound like the phone sheep

[@lewciferlovesyou]

@@josephpepe2607 Did you just insult someone for encouraging creativity and change? 😂 Glock is a good option for the cost but every model is damn near the exact same every time brother it’s not a crime to want style and flair as well

Good info!

[@SCH292]

Another Glock clone. Nothing new. The chassis system is nothing new either. All they did was crank out another Glock Gen 3 clone and made it a chassis modular system. Gun companies might want to explore and make their own chassis modular pistol? Or they should go back and modernize some of their older iconic pistols? Ruger and its P series for example.

[@muddyrivertactical]

Thanks for watching

[@kenandbarbie-b6c]

When Glock submitted their handgun for DoD evaluation, it did have a manual safety to meet the requested requirements, but the modularity was nearly non existent. Ruger-Magpul does have much improved modularity right out of the box, just no manual safety. Hmmmmm…

[@rKingMike]

My issue with the RXM is why not come out with your own pistol instead of a clone? Ruger is a gun manufacturer and the development team should put out a firem unique to Ruger and Magpul.

[@muddyrivertactical]

I agree to an extent for sure! However the market for these types of pistols is there obviously so they should do good with it

[@kenandbarbie-b6c]

Do we always reinvent the wheel if the wheel works well? Why does Kimber build all those 1911 clones? They arguably made some improvements that the original manufacturer did not want to do- a part of that is actually listening to your customers. Something Colt & Glock failed to do. So now there is the heat of competition.

[@808maxstone]

I love Ruger, but they are not new to copying other manufacturers firearms. Then again, how many different ways can you make a pistol... only so many

[@billryland6199]

There are enough Glock clones already. We don't need another one. Glock has too many design faults to be practical. I have retired mine as not useable for defense.

[@kenhoward3512]

That is the point of this model: while the basic architecture is the same, it adds a number of features missing on Glocks - for a much lower price - with the integrity of both Ruger and Magpul.

[@josephpepe2607]

Yeah,design faults 😂😂😂😂 sure 👍

[@josephpepe2607]

Not usable for defense 😂😂😂😂 literally the dumbest comment I've ever heard

[@rKingMike]

“Usable for defense” Really??
