Optimizing Your Ruger RXM: Precision Barrels & Performance Upgrades
With Ruger’s introduction of the RXM, shooters now have a versatile, optics-ready pistol with a modular design that allows for extensive customization. Designed to work with many Gen 3 Glock-style components, the RXM provides a solid foundation for those looking to fine-tune their pistol to match their shooting style.
One of the standout features of the RXM is its compatibility with Glock 19 barrels, making True Precision barrels a direct-fit upgrade. In this guide, we’ll explore why our barrels work seamlessly with the RXM, the benefits of upgrading, and additional ways to enhance performance with precision-engineered components.
Introduction: Meet the Ruger RXM
The Ruger RXM was built to deliver modularity, compatibility, and customization potential in a compact yet capable package. It features an interchangeable Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip (EHG), an optic-ready slide, and a serialized stainless steel Fire Control Insert (FCI). This combination makes it adaptable to a variety of configurations, allowing shooters to tailor their firearm to fit their needs.
Another key element of the RXM’s design is its compatibility with Gen 3 Glock-style components, meaning shooters can swap out key parts to refine performance, feel, and handling. This includes the barrel, which shares dimensions and locking geometry with the Glock 19—allowing True Precision barrels to fit seamlessly into the RXM platform.
Barrel Compatibility: The Ruger RXM & True Precision Barrels
One of the most significant aspects of the RXM’s design is its ability to accept Glock 19 barrels, providing shooters with access to high-quality aftermarket barrel options. This makes True Precision barrels a perfect fit, offering improved accuracy, performance, and aesthetics over standard barrels.
Why Choose a True Precision Barrel?
True Precision barrels are designed to deliver enhanced performance, offering:
- Proprietary Broach-cut rifling for increased accuracy and consistent shot placement
- 416R stainless steel construction for durability and heat resistance
- Threaded and non-threaded options for different setups, including suppressed and compensator-ready builds
- DLC, TiN (Gold), and other premium coatings for added corrosion resistance and a custom look
By upgrading to a True Precision barrel, RXM owners can experience improved accuracy and durability, along with customization options that fit their shooting style.
