The Ruger RXM delivers enhanced performance for competitive shooters and tactical professionals seeking a reliable optic-ready platform. This striker-fired pistol combines Ruger's proven engineering with modern features that address the demands of precision shooting and duty use.
What Makes This Different
The RXM features a fully machined alloy steel slide with FNC (Ferritic Nitrocarburizing) treatment, providing superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued finishes. The optic-ready slide eliminates the need for custom machining, accepting most popular red dot sights directly. Forward slide serrations complement the rear serrations for enhanced manipulation during press checks and malfunction clearing.

Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy potential with quality ammunition, making the RXM suitable for competitive shooting disciplines and professional applications. The 4-inch barrel length balances velocity retention with manageable overall dimensions. The FNC treatment resists wear and environmental factors better than traditional finishes, maintaining function through extended round counts.
