New Ruger RXM, Glock gen 3 clone

[kvmx00]

I saw this came out a couple of days ago and has got my interest, especially at $350 online (plus shipping and transfer).  For this price, it seems like a great value, optic ready, front night sight, interchangeable grip module.  Has any one picked one up?

No but it does seem interesting.  Glock 19 has become the new 1911, everyone makes one.

I did watch a YouTube video wherein the reviewer said he had some trigger bite when shooting. 

Other than that seemed quite positive,

My first thought was just another Glock killer but the more I think about it the more interesting it is.

Looks like Glock's ugly half-sister.    But Ruger is a brand I've trusted for years.  May your research be fruitful and revealing.

I haven't fired one but did get to handle, dry fire, and take the slide off of one and "look under the hood"  yesterday. The range was busy, so just a quick look.

It's very "Gen 3 Glock" like. 

The grip feels good to me, but I long ago shortened and modified my well worn G19 and this Ruger is very similar.

The trigger is good for a Glock-like trigger, Smooth and no glitch, moderately short reset.

ETA. I shoot factory Glock triggers fwiw.

A lot of the parts looks interchangeable with Glock.

I definitely like the sights. All metal instead of the Glock placeholders, good sized and clear to see with my aging eyes. Definitely like these sights.

The slide has plenty of holes to accommodate a RDS. From what I've seen online with various RDS mounted there is a need for a quality adapter as the slide does not support  a RDS fore and aft.

(My slides are milled so I'm biased).

Hopefully one will go into the rental rotation soon and I'll get to shoot one.

It has potential. But I've been disappointed before  LOL

Time will tell.

I think I just heard Bill Ruger turn over in his grave.

Because it’s over 10 rounds ?

Everyone is trying the modular mechanics-

Trigger assembly -frame -and slide assembly-

Half is Magpul-Half is Ruger-

Kinda like Sig and the P320 and P365-

[deerslayer]

I don’t get the point of the removable trigger module.  Everybody thought they were the future when Sig put it in the 320, but they seem kinda gimmicky to me. 

[kvmx00]

The feature of a removeable trigger module I like.  Being able to swap out the grip for a different size or brand without having to go through an FLL is very convenient.

I have a lot of Glock mags so I’ll get one in a year or so in case it has any kinks that need to be worked out.

Glad to see more things going the route of modular with serialized FCU. Makes so much sense in a Glock with all their frame and slide combo variations. 
I bet Glock isn’t thrilled to see this! Reputable company making a quality piece at a substantial savings which is superior to the prior low end faux glock option.  First real threat to Glock's sales.

If Glock had a half-sister, she couldn't be much uglier, LOL.
