RE-VERIFIED 2026-09-30, AND FOUR THINGS THIS RECORD SAID IN AUGUST WERE WRONG. All four came from reading only the models page. (1) RUGER PUBLISHES METRIC. The JSON object on the models page is imperial only, but the per-model spec sheet it links (specSheets/19400.html) prints length, barrel, slide width and weight in both systems. Those values are now recorded as published and are not flagged. Ruger truncates its metric rather than rounding it: 7.15 in is 181.6 mm and is printed 18.1 cm; 4 in is 101.6 mm and is printed 10.1 cm; 23.2 oz is 657.7 g and is printed 657 g. The centimetre figures are written here in millimetres, which is a decimal shift, not a conversion. Height is printed as 5.31 in with no metric figure, so its millimetre value is still this directory's conversion and is still flagged. (2) OVERALL WIDTH IS REMOVED. The spec sheet labels the 1 in / 25 mm figure "Slide Width". The JSON's bare `width` key had been read as an overall width. A slide width is not comparable with other makers' overall widths, so the field is unset (the Desert Eagle and Shield Plus rule). (3) RUGER DOES SAY "STRIKER". The spec sheet reads "Striker-fired with a flat-faced trigger", so ignition is striker-fired and `system` carries those words. The instruction manual (PDF p. 11) calls the RXM "a striker-fired, magazine-fed, autoloading, recoil-operated centerfire handgun", so operating system is recoil-operated, footnoted to the manual. The August note said the word never occurs; it never occurs on the models page. (4) A MANUAL IS REACHABLE, AND IT STATES THE WARRANTY. The spec sheet's Instruction Manual link (dataProcess/manual/fetch.php/ms/19400/) redirects to the RXM manual on Ruger's S3 bucket. Its last page (PDF p. 52) says Ruger "has elected not to provide any written warranty, either 'limited' or 'full'" and refers owners to implied warranties under state law. That is a positive statement, not a silence, so it is recorded as the warranty, the same as on the other Ruger records. THE YEAR NOW COMES FROM THE LAUNCH RELEASE. In August the models page embedded the spec object for 19400, whose `introDate` gave 2024-12-06. On 2026-09-30 the page embeds the object for model 19496 instead (`introDate` 2026-09-01), so 19400's date is no longer on the live page. Ruger's release "Ruger and Magpul Announce 9mm Pistol Collaboration" (December 11, 2024) introduces the RXM by name and gives the same year. The page now displays 27 catalogue numbers: 19400, 19412 through 19468, 19496 through 19498, and 19550 through 19552. All but 19400 are separate listings under the base-model rule, and none of 19400's figures may be carried to them. Manufacturer size class and frame class stay unset: Ruger publishes no size class, and its "Compact" navigation tag was rejected as a source on 2026-08-16. Height and weight carry a basis note because Ruger does not say whether either includes a magazine. Also published and unrecorded for want of a schema field: a 1:10 twist with 6 grooves, a through-hardened alloy steel slide, an alloy steel barrel, RMR, DPP and RMSc optic patterns, UPC 7-36676-19400-1 and a $539.00 suggested retail price. The pistol ships with two Magpul PMAG 15 GL9 magazines.

Verification boundary: Published technical data are rounded, may not reflect manufacturing tolerances, and may change without notice. MSRP is not recorded: most cited product pages do publish a price, but it changes without notice and independently of the specification, so this directory has no field for it and the row stays blank rather than carrying a figure that would silently go stale. Values marked ≈ were converted by this directory from the unit system the source published; the unmarked figure in the same row is the published one.
Evidence tiers backing this record: Manufacturer. Unmarked values come from manufacturer documentation; any value drawn from a lower tier is labeled inline with that tier. Where two sources disagreed, the higher tier was recorded and the disagreement noted.

01What caliber is the Ruger RXM?

The Ruger RXM is chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. Ruger writes it as 9mm Luger. Ammunition should match the exact chambering marked on the firearm.

02How many rounds does the Ruger RXM hold?

04What are the dimensions of the Ruger RXM?

Ruger publishes length 181, height ≈134.9 mm / length 7.15, height 5.31 in (height: magazine state not stated by Ruger; width not published). Any measurement basis shown is the manufacturer's own qualifier; where none is shown, the manufacturer states none.

05How much does the Ruger RXM weigh?

Ruger publishes 657 g / 23.2 oz (magazine state not stated by Ruger).

06Is the Ruger RXM striker-fired?

Striker-fired. Ruger publishes this as "Striker-fired". This is recorded from the manufacturer's own classification rather than inferred from the mechanism.

07When was the Ruger RXM introduced?

2024, per the source cited on this record. Where a manufacturer publishes no dated announcement, this directory records no year rather than estimating one.

08Does the Ruger RXM have a warranty?

Ruger states: No written warranty: Ruger states it has elected not to provide any written warranty, either limited or full, and refers owners to the implied warranties of their state's law. Terms are as published at the date this record was checked and may vary by region.
