Opinions, please. Ruger RXM

[cmshoot]

Problems have been cropping up with the Ruger RXM:

-striker spacer sleeve cracking, which can render the pistol inoperable

-issues with the slide release causing it not to release when using the gross motor skills / slingshot method to release the slide with a loaded magazine inserted

-severe flaws in the rifling towards the muzzle (this can be spotted before purchase, if you look)

-extractor depressor plunger not making contact with the extractor, so that the extractor is loose

-don’t quote me on this one, but I seem to remember something about the top round in the magazine making contact with the bottom of the ejector

The best part about most of these issues is that the fix is to replace the problem part with a genuine Glock part.

I’ve said it many times before. No one is better than Glock at doing what Glock does; make Glocks.

I used to assist a tactical trainer who ran courses up in Connecticut, and you could tell before the live fire started, who would be the ones who'd be dealing with F2Fs the most.

It was the guys with Glocks, but Glocks pimped out with TiN barrels and fittings, gas pedals etc. etc. etc. that made them look like props in movies like "Sicario".

It's not necessarily that any given upgrade was bad, it was just the cumulative effect of all the tolerance stacking issues that screwed up the reliability.

If you're serious about that gun working every time you pull the booger hook, think twice (or thrice) before adding some 3rd party geegaw.

I’ve run my firearms training school for almost 30 years. For quite some time now I’ve said that the most reliable handgun that I see on the range are Glocks; ones that are stock, or fairly so.

I’ve also said that the most unreliable handgun that I see on the range are Glocks; ones that have been modified, especially in regard to the fire control group.
