Don't be surprised if Glock makes an RXM compatible semi Auto that uses RXM mags, interchanges with the grips and fire control module, and at a lesser price than the RXM. Hold your breath until it arrives and your grandkids will have died of old age by then....:ROFLMAO:
 
The RXM mag already works in a Glock. At least it does in mine.
Like I said in another forum that got me in trouble. I think Ruger hit a home run here but I’m not getting rid of my G19.5 for grip angle and chassis. I can see the draw of the chassis, just not something I want. I’m hoping Ruger comes out w a G26, then I’ll fork out some $.

The RXM takes Glock 19 mags. Comes with 2 15 round Pmags for Glock. The Glock mags fit better.
I think they do look/fit better than PMAGs, but I have also had minor reliability issues with the PMAGs. Several people came out proclaiming their 100% never had a problem reliability with them, but I'm sorry, the RXM has passed 1020 rounds, and zero issues with Gen 5 G19 mags. PMAGs, only 100% with ball ammo. JHP in PMAGs presented minor hiccups, in my RXM.

My pcc takes ruger mags, or, it came with an RXM adapter!

Ruger was way ahead of the curve there fo snizzle!

Reminds me of the woodworkers that can make a pallet out of a coffee table.
 
My LGS had a few of the RXM, wasn’t really looking. I ended up trading into a Charger and RXM. Now I can stop looking for a 365 magazine adapter for my PCC…. Looks better than most Gen 3 Glock 19’s. Shoots and feeds cheap range ammo well.
 
Sig Romeo Zero Red Dot + Ruger RXM = FAIL! Proper screws to secure red dot has yet to be identified.
Burris Fastfire III Red Dot + Ruger RXM = Big Fail as it is impossible unless you shorten the Fastfire III so it fits in the optics channel.
The screw holes on the Ruger that line up with the holes on the Sig Remeo Zero foot print have different thread pattern than the other ones on the slide. The others on the slide are 6-32, but the ones that align with the Romeo Zero are at the back and the closest we could come up with was 8-48 but even that doesn't appear to fully thread properly.

What I am curious is why there are 2 different thread patterns going on with this and did Ruger include screws for these guns that I did not get. The only fitment parts I had with mine was the alignment posts that were included for use if needed.

I also pulled a Burris Fastfire III off a Ruger 22/45 I have and that will not fit at all as it is slightly longer than the Optics channel will accomodate.

If the proper screws for the back RMR Sc holes used by the Romeo Zero can be figured out and attained, I may be able to use one, but as it is, I may have to pony up $$$ for a compatible Red Dot. My issues is want the smallest red dot footprint that will work.

The manual just has the footprints not specific sights. Which in theory should be enough to know compatibility but some are dumb. Not mentioning any names, Holosun 407k….

The Burris FF3 is a docter/noblex footprint and isn’t compatible with DPP or RMR and for sure not Rsmc

The non-rmr screw holes per the manual is M4-0.7
 
Doesn’t Ruger list which RDS fit?
Yes, @LarryNBoise Burris Fastfire 3 does not use a supported footprint. Doctor/Noblex. The RXM fits RMR, DPP, and RMSc. Sig uses weird screw pitch on their stuff, and I'm not sure if it applies here, but it likely could. I believe they use 6-48 screws on their stuff; I recall my buddy tried an actual RMR from Trij, and the screws would not thread into his P320 AXG Classic. It's because Sig has them tapped for 6-48.

A Holosun K Model will fit, but a member here, in this thread has been discussing the mods they have to do to the RXM recoil lugs. That's not on Ruger, as Holosun in their infinite wisdom decided to use a modified RMSc footprint. My RMR footprint 507C fit direct, perfectly.

ETA: I'm not defending the RXM or Ruger, I'm merely pointing out that Holosun K models and Sig with their optics made some weird choices. Any pistol optic that clearly states RMR, DPP, or RMSc cut will mount direct, just fine. Sig is the exception with their stupid screws, unless they're now including M4-0.7 with the optic, too. As they should.

We replied at same time, yes, thank you for listing the screw sizes. Sig uses 6-48, IIRC, and it's also kinda dumb on their part.

No they do not. They list only the footprints and not the actual red dots by name. Footprints RMR, Delta Point Pro (DPP), and RMSc. The wholes are there for all, but screws for them were not included with my gun, nor does the manual tell your what screw sizes are needed for anything.

My first 2 optics were 507C in Red and Green. I moved to the smaller cheaper Romeo Zeros and Elite for concealed carry plus had an issue with the auto brightness feature on the 507C when using a gun light below washing out the circle and dot. The adjustment controls on the 507C seemed to be a pita for me. They are great optics, I just wanted to go smaller in the end. I'm not sure I want to go to the expense of another $300+ optic for a $400 gun.

That's not on Ruger. Very few guns include the screws. Like I said, SIG includes their weird screws with their red dots (as virtually all optics makers do), and it's not a common screw for RDS. 6-48 was very common with guns for scope rail mounts and sights, etc.

Ruger does not need to list every optic that will fit, as new optics are coming out all the time. They list the footprints, and as consumers we need to make sure the red dot we're buying or wish to use has the listed footprint.

The manual doesn't list what screws are needed for both aforementioned reasons.

Sorry, I'm not being combative, but you're placing this all at Ruger's doorstep, and it is not theirs.

Romeo zero will work. Just gotta get the screws that SIG should've included in the Romeo Zero packaging.
Paragraph 5.
Oh, the manual literally does list the screws for footprints. Thank you Francis.
