Can't wait to see the aftermarket support for this. Ruger has outstanding customer support and warranty.
It's already here! Ruger is leveraging the current Glock After Market for parts -- especially optics since it's optics ready. Some of the features (extended mag release, extended slide release, extended take-down lever) may not require upgrades at all.
Looks like Ruger did the marketing research for this one!

How does it not make sense?
Rugers American is very unpopular compared to other brands. This gives you a removable FCU to use other grips that will come, including aluminum, none of which Glock offers. You get factory and aftermarket parts support from Glock pistols which is very broad, same holsters as Glock, you get Rugers fantastic service and warranty, tritium night sights, a flat trigger, gets rid of the glock grip angle which some hate, all for a starting price of $499. It could undercuts Glock in several ways. It also is offered in 10 rd capacity, and being Gen 3 basically, it can/should be available even in cali and other states.

Sounds smart move to me and is actually quite appealing.

Sig, Springfield, and now Ruger. I don't mind that Ruger went this direction and concur their strategy to consume Gen 3 glock parts within this platform expands their potential consumer base and is different than the approach taken by the 10+ other glock clone manufacturers.

Good on them.
Bill Ruger is going to come back and haunt them! 💀

I am not sure what the delay is about. The accidental misfire thing has been in and out of the news ever since the 320 got released. I just think that Magpul was late to the 320 grip module party and decided to jump into an unsaturated market with the RXM. And WOW!
how coincidental thier Glock pmags are a perfect fit. 👍

The majority of the ugly must be blamed on GLOCK- not Ruger.

But it is nice to see yet another company that's perfected a GLOCK... it's more ergonomic by deleting the inane hollow bulge from the bottom of the backstrap (solving the GLOCK grip angle issue), adding an FCU to make it more modular, and having it made and backed by an American firearms manufacturer- all wins!

If I was in the market for a GLOCK, this would probably be my first choice... that is- until GLOCK pulls their head out of their 🦌 long enough to give their customers the choice of having better grip options...
