Not only is Ruger now making Glocks... They're also now making COA-equipped Glocks! Eek

Since Aimpoint's COA exclusivity agreement with Glock expired at the start of this year, other companies are now free to offer A-cut slides for COA mounting.

And right on cue, Ruger recently announced a factory COA-equipped RXM.

Available in G19-style 15 round grip or G45-style 17 round grip configuration, in Black, Gray, or OD Green.

MSRP is $1099, but street price looks like it's just under $800 before shipping at some online sellers. For a $400+ gun and a $550+ optic, that's a pretty decent package deal.

(Provided you're sure you want the COA, since you'd be locked into the proprietary optic cut, so switching to something else would necessitate getting a different slide. Though Gen 3 G19 slides aren't exactly rare or expensive...)

Currently it's a Lipseys exclusive: https://www.lipseys.com/itemfi...Edition&sort=default

Looking forward to a review hopefully with pics of you holding it and compared against a G26.
I don't have a G26 to compare it to, but I did get a chance to put 2 boxes of 124 range ammo through it earlier this week. I used a standard 10 round Gen 5 G26 mag, a Gen 5 G26 mag with a Pearce +1 extension and 2 Magpul G26 12 round mags (which is the only one they make I guess).

There were no issues with the gun or the mags. I thought the Magpul mags were a little loose in the magazine well, not so much when they were full, but when they emptied out they got a little wobbly. I tried moving them around while shooting to see if I could get it to FTF, but it never caused a malfunction. The Glock mags fit perfectly and worked as they should. I ended up adding a small strip of Talon grip tape to the front of the Magpul mag pinky extension as they are WAY too smooth.

I'm super happy with it. Shooting it with the flush fit G26 mag is fine, obviously not as comfortable as having the Pearce extension on the other mag, but I'm just as accurate with the flush mag, albeit a tad slower probably due to some extra muzzle flip. I plan on getting a couple X Grip sleeves to put on my G19 mags to further the flexibility options of the new grip frames.

Here's some pics of the different mags in the RXM sub-compact grip frame. For reference my hands aren't giant, I usually wear L or XL gloves.

With the G26 flush mag:



With the G26 Pearce +1 extension:



With the Magpul 12 round G26 mag:


Thank you that was very helpful.

If I was 21 years old, and just getting into firearms/ccw I would likely get one of these and say a Vortex Defender CCW. I'd have a decent gun and optic set up for a little over 100 than what a single Gen6 Glock 19 would cost me.

Yeah, a Ruger RXM (~$400) with an Osight SE (~$150) seems to be the current combo to beat for a quality budget midsize handgun with optic.

At $550 it's a bit under the cost of a G19 alone.

I don't have a ton to add, except I did buy an RXM with an OD green grip. I actually carry it quite frequently and it shoots really well, much more accurate than I expected..it’s actually *very accurate. It definitely fits my hand better than any Glock I’ve owned. No issues to report

I sold my RXM to buy a Gen 6 G19 COA.. Eek Cool

Although the RXM wasn't a bad firearm, I just wanted the Gen 6 G19 more.
