New fashion colors are fine and I realize it's quite early, but since Magpul is planning to release a G17-length grip for this pistol (making, in essence, a G45), I'd love to see Ruger release a G17-length slide, which, when combined with the G17-length grip, would make, in essence, a G47.

Or, perhaps Ruger will simply put their new FCU into a full-length G17 equivalent.

I know Zev gets around it just like Glock does with the Gen 5s barrels now being G19 barrels of length, but is that something Ruger would get in trouble for since Gen 3 Glocks don't work like that?

Remains to be seen. I haven’t seen any info on whether the Ruger’s locking block and barrel are Gen 1-4 or Gen5. If the former, then yes changing uppers and barrels will be messier.

I bought an RXM last week. So far, so good and I'm really enjoying it. I've got my fingers crossed for a subcompact grip frame so I can configure a 26/19 hybrid. The grip modules are only $40 and I'm tempted to chop one myself, but I'd rather not give up that nice flared magazine well.

$349.95 at Battlehawk Armory. Free shipping, I think.

^^^^ Doesn't say free shipping, but at $350, that's cheapest so far. https://battlehawkarmory.com/p...d-pistol-magpul-grip

Strange that the 10-round model is $50 more. https://battlehawkarmory.com/p...d-magpul-grip-pistol

I almost completed a check out, and it did add the tax, but where “shipping” appeared, it said 0.00. Now, maybe if I’ve taken one more step it would’ve put that in there, but since I have one, I wasn’t ready to buy another, at least not yet.

Yeah, that's how they do it. If it were really free shipping, they would have put it in the ad. And in RED.

Finally got mine to the range today. 250 rounds without a malfunction. Though I had a healthy case of the shakes today, I found it to be quite accurate. Pointed naturally for me, and the grip was very comfortable shooting. Great gun so far!!

This honestly seems to be the first Ruger release in many years that may not have a couple of recalls in the first year.

It seems to be a solid little pistol.

Put about 200 rounds through mine. I really like it. The grip is nice and it shoots good. It is very accurate but a little high at 20 yards. My gen 4 19 started hurting the knuckle on my middle finger and this grip felt a lot better. It was a little snappy with +P critical duty ammo but very soft with FMJs. I used a mixture of Glock and magpie mags and different ammo weights with no issues.
