The Ruger RXM 9mm pistol (brand part no. 19498) is the product of a collaboration between Ruger and Magpul, built around a removable serialized stainless steel fire control insert that sits inside an interchangeable Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip. This configuration pairs a 4-inch barrel with a black FNC nitride finish and a copper PVD slide, and it ships with two Magpul PMAG 17 GL9 magazines for 17+1 capacity. The slide is cut for direct mounting of RMR, DPP and RMSc footprint optics, and co-witness-height steel sights with a tritium front keep the pistol usable with or without a red dot. Most major components are designed for Gen 3 compatibility with off-the-shelf parts, holsters and accessories, which leaves plenty of room to customize a carry or range gun. Shooters who want an optic-ready, striker-fired platform they can make their own will find more options in our semi-auto handguns.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm Luger, the most common choice for carry and range use.
• Capacity is 17+1 using the two included Magpul PMAG 17 GL9 magazines.
• Barrel length is 4 inches, a duty-size length that balances sight radius and concealability.
• The alloy steel barrel carries a black FNC nitride finish for corrosion resistance.
• The through-hardened alloy steel slide is finished in copper PVD, which sets this configuration apart visually.
• The slide accepts RMR, DPP and RMSc optic patterns, so a micro red dot mounts directly without an adapter plate.
• The front sight is a tritium, co-witness-height post, giving a usable night sight picture with or without an optic.
• The grip frame is a Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip with 3/4-scale TSP texture, a flared magazine well and a universal accessory rail.
• There is no manual safety; safety features are an integrated trigger safety and an internal striker blocker.
• Weight is 23.4 ounces, with an overall length of 7.15 inches, which keeps the pistol manageable for all-day carry.
