The Ruger RXM in 9mm with an optic-ready slide (brand part no. 19442) is a striker-fired pistol with a 4-inch barrel, 17+1 capacity and an optic-ready slide. Ruger builds it around a serialized stainless steel Fire Control Insert in a Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip, and most major parts are designed for Gen 3 compatibility. Co-witness-height steel sights include a tritium night front sight, which gives a sight picture with or without an optic. Two Magpul PMAG 17 GL9 magazines and a carry case ship with it.
