Cosmetic Upgrades: Ruger RXM Expands With New Grip Colors
The Ruger RXM 9mm striker-fired pistol, the result of a collaboration between Ruger and Magpul Industries, is growing again. This time via a wave of new grip-frame colors and cosmetic variants. Rather than introducing new calibers, barrel lengths or capacities, the recent additions broaden customization for buyers who want more than the standard Stealth Gray polymer frame.
Ruger @ TFB:
At its core, the RXM remains a modular pistol built around a serialized stainless-steel Fire Control Insert (FCI) inside an interchangeable Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip (EHG). That design already made it compatible with many aftermarket accessories and most Glock Gen3 9mm Luger parts, including magazines and holsters. The new color options allow owners to change the look without altering functionality.
The RXM grip modules are now offered in multiple finishes, including Flat Dark Earth (FDE), OD Green, Stealth Gray, and black, giving customers a greater range of aesthetic choices.
All other standard RXM features remain unchanged: 9mm chambering, a 4-inch (or threaded 4.5-inch) barrel, optics-ready slide milled for RMR/RMSc/DeltaPoint Pro plates, co-witness-height tritium front sight, universal accessory rail, and two included magazines by default. MSRP stays at $499 for the base model and around $569 for the threaded-barrel variant.
In short, what Ruger and Magpul have done is expand the RXM’s personalization potential, giving users a modern, modular striker-fired pistol whose appearance can be tailored to personal taste or duty requirements, without changing the core performance features that define the original RXM.

This is a solid pistol at a great price and anyone interested in a Glock or clone should take a serious look at it.
The different colored frames have been out for like a year now. The full size frames just came out last month
