👉Ruger RXM Slide on Glock 19 & 26 – Range Tested & Thoughts - Less $ MOS Alternative?

[xounlistedxox]

I recently had the chance to test out the Ruger RXM slide on both a Glock 19 and Glock 26, thanks to a subscriber (shoutout to John Woodell for loaning me the slide).

Full review with shooting footage here:

TLDR, if you would rather read about it than watch the video:


Here are the key takeaways from my testing:


Compatibility: Works flawlessly on both Gen 3 Glock 19 and Glock 26 frames. Zero reliability issues in ~200 rounds.


Features: Comes stock with taller night sights and a superior optics mounting system compared to Glock’s MOS. The adapter plates allow a wide range of red dots with minimal height.


Price Point: Complete RXM slide (with plates) runs about the same cost as a stripped Glock OEM Gen 3 MOS slide.


Parts Interchangeability: Internal components are very similar between the RXM and Glock factory slides, no issues there.


Brand Factor: Some Glock purists may not like “Ruger” stamped on their slide, but functionally, it’s a solid OEM alternative.


If you’re looking to build out a Glock with an optics-ready setup without breaking the bank, the RXM is definitely worth considering.


Would love to hear if anyone else here has tried Ruger’s Glock-compatible slides yet.

Yup, folks tested it at local Reno range. Works fine.

But can you use a fun switch?

An RXM slide is FULLY Glock 3rd gen compatible.
You could take every part out of a glock Gen3 model 19 slide and install it into an RXM slide.

So to answer your question, you can install any glock 19 compatible slide back plate on the RXM slide.

I see. Not that I would do that (I should have put in there "asking for a friend"). See that Mr. DOJ?

Interesting...

Yup, I had to alternate in between the Gen 3 style back plate and Gen 5 back plate because I have the Glock Performance Trigger (Gen 5) in my Gen 3 G19 and all other parts are nearly identical.
