At first glance, the Ruger RXM might look like just another polymer striker-fired pistol, but there’s more going on under the surface. Designed in collaboration with Magpul, the RXM features some fresh details: a textured frame with an undercut grip, an optics-ready slide, co-witness sights with a tritium front, and a surprisingly crisp flat-face trigger.

Out at the range, the RXM held its own—smooth to shoot, accurate, and surprisingly easy to control. And after 8,400 rounds through a single test pistol, with no cleanings and only water dunking for cooldowns, it didn’t malfunction once. Not a bad showing for a gun that most people are still just learning about.
