Ruger RXM 8400 round test

Now there's a candidate for "Members content taken out of context"!

Run with it!

Apparently, 8,400 is the new 10,000.

Because it jammed at 8,401! Maybe.

Yeah, I was wondering about that, why not round up to 8500 anyway much less 10,000

Seems like the RXM Gluger is a real hit . Nice to see companies collaborating to bring items to the market .

Current G & A issue just came out with the Ruger RXM on the cover.

Also a large article on the Winchester 21 Sharp ammo & rifle

They are just 2 separate articles

But how well would it hold up in a real 8400rd gunfight test. Sheesh, put some bad guys in there already.

I'm glad to see someone putting together a glock-compatible FCU system. Now we just need a PDW kit along the lines of the Flux Raider or x01 chassis.

If measure 114 hasn't been decided next month, I w\I'll order a b\unc\h
Of mags for it and get one.

If measure 114 hasn't been decided next month,

is there a new hearing?

 

[1911Fanatic]

is there a new hearing?

Not that I know of. What I should have said is if we are still in limbo, I will get more.

I couldn't make it through the entire video. Did they only use the pmags made for the RXM or did they use Glock mags too? I.e. Are Glock mags 100% compatible with the RXM, as in no FTF's, ever?

 

[titsonritz]

That's fairly impressive.

But not surprising.

I just read the G&A article on the RXM. Looking at the pictures I wondered if Ruger changed the grip angle from what Glock uses, because it looks like it. Nope the angle is the same, it's just the the back of the grip is parallel to the front and isn't arched like the Glock. That may make quite a bit of difference in how it fits the hand and may improve the "shootability" of the gun for folks that don't like the way a Glock fits. (like me)
It's a much more modular gun than a Glock due to the removeable FCU and it's cheaper.

I'll bet Ruger sells a lot of these guns.

Though it wouldn't take much to make a visually unnoticeable difference in angle think your right about the same grip angle. The arched grip on the Glocks I don't care for, similar to arched mainspring housings on a 1911.... make all the difference in how it fits in the hand.

The more I read about the RXM the more its one of those new gun designs that I wish came out years ago, as in, I'm too invested in what I have. There will always be a new wiz bang that will come out thats better than existing wiz bangs and everything I read about the RXM is it, every feature and design intent is what I wanted. The RXM is a much better pistol than a Glock by design and as it becomes popular will open up many custom options in grip modules (that may even match the 1911 grip angle, not that the RXM might need that).

I'm not a fan of the arched mainspring housing on a 1911, either. I wondered about a different angle for the new frames, but that would likely change the mag compatibility. It's not dumb to make guns that share mags with a Glock.

You dont have to change the magazine insertion angle to change the grip angle, the grip angle is all outside profile geometry and very subtle IMO. P80 intentionally made their grip angles to that of a 1911 (IIRC) and those all accept Glock magazines. P80s fit my hand like a 1911.
I really dont know why the 1911 grip angle isnt a standard by now but thats another subject.

I grew up shooting a Ruger Standard 22, which has a grip angle like a Luger. Don't know why I don't jive with the Glock, but I don't.

 

[WAYNO]

Don't know why I don't jive with the Glock, but I don't.

Many folks don't...
Then I am surprised when folks say they don't jive with the 1911.

By the way... I was at the Nampa gun show last weekend. I won a RXM in a raffle.

I grew up with an old Ruger MKI with the luger angle and while I love the old iconic gun the grip angle I will never like. One reason I took so long getting into modern plastic guns is because I felt the Glocks were the best but just dont like their grip angle (or triggers).

I dont know anyone who dislikes the angle and fit in the hand of a 1911 so its a mystery why modern guns dont share that same geometry.
