No, at least from what I see online in the reviews. James really likes the trigger. From looking at the FCU when it's removed, you can see what looks like a Glock Trigger Mechanism Housing, which makes sense as this is a Glock Gen 3 clone.
I mean, there's a lot here.
Standard steel tritium front sights. Direct optic mounting of common footprints, including RMR, DPP and RMSc. Undercut trigger guard. Forward cocking serrations. Molded in Magwell. Flat faced tabbed trigger. Integrated trigger safety and striker block. Textured indexing pads. Familiar "Magpul" polymer. Part and holster compatibility with Gen 3 Glocks. Magazines that cost $15.99. Modular fire control group design. The not too big and not too small size of a Glock 19. Made in the USA. Ruger Customer Service.
For $399 street price? Yeah.
I mean, the lack of a 1913 rail might be a question. Aesthetics...I guess personal choice. It's a plastic people popper, to borrow a phrase.
Looking forward, given the chassis system and grip module concept, Magpul and Ruger have announced other options coming "soon". So perhaps a duty 17 round version. Or a Glock 26 BUG.
(PS I did ask on another forum whether a Glock Gen 1-4 Striker Control Device would fit, and was told it would. Langdon Tactical (the current supplier) is OOS on these, but (for me) I would carry this AIWB, and I would really prefer a Glock with an SCD, having had them on all Glocks I EDC'd in the past. I realize the SCD is a small niche aftermarket product, but wanted to pass it on in case anyone else was wondering.)
Wow! 80 bucks to keep my Glock from going off. Sounds like a solution for a non-existent problem to me. I can see this thing malfunctioning at the worst possible time. Why not just leave a round out of the chamber if you are worried about the gun going off? Better yet, don't put any magazine in it or leave the gun at home.

Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't like gen 3 Glocks to begin with and if I'm going to buy a Glock, might as well just buy a Glock. Like I said, maybe it's just me

He's talking about the Glock Striker Control Device.
Striker Control Device (SCD)
It's our mission to provide the skills, knowledge and equipment to have confidence under duress. Custom gun work for Beretta, Glock, HK, Hellcat, & more.
langdontactical.com
Ernest Langdon took the design data package and started remanufacturing them after the original maker (Tau) stopped.
I had lunch with one of the inventors in Albuquerque in 2018 or so. The other passed away. It is a well designed, fiendishly simple, and effective product. All I can say is if you don't get it, you don't get it. There have been lots of arguments pro and con since it was originally released in 2017.
Those that don't see value in thumbing the trigger on holstering to reduce the risk of an ND, are legion. Which is fine. It leaves a lot more money for Glock owners to buy aftermarket night sights to replace their plastic dovetail protectors, Pearce grip plugs, and Apex triggers. (just kidding. I've owned seven Glocks and shot thousands of rounds.
)I am not really interested in rehashing the SCD, so this will be my last post on RXM compatibility. I personally would like the discussion to get back to this Ruger, because I may buy one, but hey, carry on, it's not my train set.
Looks like it’s more aligned with a Glock type trigger. If that’s the case the aftermarket options would be endless.

Yeah, I think you are right. This thing is going to have legs.
Copy pasta from another web site, I can't vouch for it, cause I haven't gotten my hands on one, but as an expired baby Glock Armorer, I believe all this to be true:
The entire slide assembly is 100% Glock 19 Gen 3, so slides, barrels, RSAs, all slide internals are exactly the same.
The trigger and disconnector are also straight Gen 3 and should be compatible. The FCG housing is proprietary here, so it has to stay, but any trigger that just replaces the shoe, arm/cruciform, spring, and disconnector should drop right in.
Ejector looks Glock compatible.
Slide lock bar and spring are G19 Gen 3.
Slide release and spring are Glock Gen 3.
Mag release is Glock Gen 3.
Mags are obviously all G19 size or longer. The FCI housing has an indent that gives the overtravel stop like factory Glock frames have.
The FCI, it's a folded sheet metal cage that makes up the sides and the slide rails. The locking block is a separate and proprietary cast piece that is locked into the cage by the trigger pin (4mm, same as Glock) and also held in by the front FCU retaining pin in the frame.
Proprietary parts will be the FCI cage, the locking block, the trigger pin (shorter than OEM), the trigger housing and the pin that holds it in the FCI, the large front body pin that holds the FCI in the grip module, and obviously the grip module itself. The 3mm pin above the trigger might be proprietary, or you might be able to use the "3rd pin" from the Gen 3 Glocks that go in about the same place there as well.

Personally, I don't think I would buy another Ruger. Four months ago I bought a 5.7 Ruger pistol and a 5.7 carbine. They both share the same magazine but unfortunately the magazines have been on back-order with Ruger for over 4 months! That is flat ridiculous! If they can't supply mags for their firearms they shouldn't sell the guns.

Anyone know if they’ll sell just the FCU/FCI like Sig? Or probably more likely just the complete lower with all the proprietary parts. I’d like to build one up using as many Glock parts as possible and something like a killer innovation or ZEV slide. I have a lot of interest in this while also having little interest in it lol. Love the idea of a chassis Glock and the Magpul EHG but don’t care for or really trust Ruger for handguns. Just don’t have experience with them and if I could have this gun be built from other parts from companies I fully trust that’d be dope. Ideally, if Glock would just make a chassis Glock with the Gen 6 that’d be the perfect handgun with time imo.

I stopped in a new gun shop yesterday that recently opened less than two miles from my house, and the owner said he expects to receive the new RXM he ordered by Tuesday.
I told him that if it points naturally, and if he prices it reasonably- I'll probably take it home with me.
If I like it- it'll be my first Gluger...
