The Ruger RXM delivers precision engineering in a compact 9mm platform designed for versatility and reliability. This striker-fired pistol combines a 4-inch threaded barrel with a 15-round capacity, making it suitable for both suppressed shooting and standard applications.
What Makes This Different
The RXM stands apart from conventional striker-fired pistols through its factory-threaded barrel and optics-ready slide configuration. While most pistols require aftermarket modifications for suppressor compatibility, the RXM ships ready for threaded accessories. The slide features a milled optics cut that accepts popular red dot sights without requiring adapter plates, reducing height over bore compared to traditional mounting systems.
Key Features
- Factory-threaded 4-inch barrel with 1/2x28 threading for suppressor compatibility
- Optics-ready slide with direct-mount capability for popular red dot sights
- 15-round magazine capacity with drop-free design
- Striker-fired action with consistent trigger pull

Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy with various 9mm loads, maintaining sub-3-inch groups at 25 yards. The threaded barrel design accommodates both suppressed and unsuppressed shooting without point-of-impact shift. Law enforcement agencies have adopted similar configurations for duty use, while competitive shooters appreciate the optics-ready platform for USPSA Production Optics division. The pistol functions reliably with standard pressure and +P ammunition.
