Have a couple Sigs the P365 and the Macro model as well(put pic for size comparison). A few months back I got a Kimber 1911 in 45 ACP that I absolutely love, then found myself wanting to grab something I could slip into the carry rotation and also use at the range a lot. Never really “built out” a gun if you’d call this that, I’ve always left them bone stock. I was looking for something I could really customize without spending a ton more money. Turned out to be the Ruger RXM lol. Happened to see it at my local GS for 389.99 brand new and couldn’t help myself. The glocks next to it were 600+ new. It felt better than a Glock in hand and after looking into modular capabilities I came in the following day and scooped it up. I didn’t go crazy with any expensive mods but I made it the way I wanted it to look and feel. Swapped the grip when they finally restocked the FDE color at magpul, a gen 3 G19 threaded barrel in FDE, the Taran Tactical ultimate spring pack for glocks, an engraved and FDE colored rear slide plate off an eBay maker, a swampfox justice 1 green dot whole saled at 70 bucks, and a Beretta thread protector that came with their O-rings for their M9A3 (fits Glock barrels like a glove) in FDE. There’s more to come like the Herrington Arms comp and the taran tactical +5 mag extension but so far for under 200 bucks in add ons I’m still under the price of a bone stock Glock 19 new. And for my money I’d say the trigger feels better than a gen 5 Glock. Thanks for all the welcoming comments! Any questions just hmu!

Yeah. What's the rundown? :rolleyes:
I had it all typed before didn’t notice it didn’t post right lol I updated it! Not a whole lot this was more my let’s see what we can do with a budget build type firearm. For the maybe 600 bucks I have into it I’d say it’s not a bad little full size carry to use an abuse if you’re tired of the same old Glock! It’s got more of a 1911 stance to it.

Welcome.

As a guess, looks like an RXM with the FDE grip, Gen 3 TB and a Swampfox Liberty optic.
almost dead on! It’s the swampfox justice (basically the liberty with a bigger FOV) I got from a wholesale place im linked into for 70 bucks! Updated the post I didn’t notice it didn’t save anything I typed the first time 🤣 thanks for the welcome brother!

Definitely would like to get one of those! Maybe some day.
It’s not bad at all for what it is! Kind of pleasantly surprised the looks you can get out of the firearm when you start customizing things. It takes gen basically most 3 Glock parts so the options are limitless! It shoots really well too!

Don’t know if switching parts around is building a gun but I like your updates. Looks functional. Should be a winner if she shoots well!
Building out a gun and building a gun are different I would not call this building a gun either lol I haven’t touched anything internally other than a spring kit from taran tactical
 
Nice. Does it take an aftermarket Glock trigger?
Will take all Gen 3 upper parts, Gen 3 trigger shoe, and Gen 3 trigger bar, connector, and trigger spring. I do have some true RXM builds with ambi slide stop levers and even one with a GPT installed. Can't do that with a factory-built model.
