RXM Full-Size Grips Launch: What It Means for the Handgun Market
The firearm market has been buzzing: Magpul’s full-size Enhanced Handgun Grip (EHG) for the Ruger RXM has officially started shipping, marking a major milestone for modular pistols and customization in the handgun world.
The RXM platform — a collaborative design between Ruger and Magpul — has been praised for introducing modular innovation to the striker-fired pistol segment, blending Glock-compatible reliability with the user-friendly customization typically found in rifles.
Let’s break down what’s new, why it matters to shooters, and why this launch could shift expectations for how handguns are built and personalized.
What’s New: Full-Size RXM EHG Grips Are Here
Magpul’s newly released full-size grip modules expand the RXM ecosystem beyond the original compact grip. These full-size grips transition the RXM from its original Glock-19-sized footprint to something closer to a Glock-17/G47-style full-size pistol — without needing a new slide or upper.
Key features include:
- Full-size grip architecture for longer magazine compatibility (17-round Glock-pattern magazines).
- 3/4-scale Textured Stippling Pattern (TSP) for improved control and comfort.
- Flared magwell to aid faster reloads in competition or duty contexts.
- Compatibility with most Gen3 Glock pattern parts, accessories, and holsters, preserving the open aftermarket that made the RXM appealing in the first place.
At an MSRP around $39.95, this upgrade is affordable relative to full aftermarket frames — and because it’s modular, owners can adapt the same serialized pistol to multiple roles.
Why the Full-Size Grip Matters
Modularity on a New Level
The full-size grip reinforces one of the RXM’s biggest selling points: interchangeable ergonomics. Much like modular rifle platforms, the RXM lets shooters swap grip frames based on mission or preference. The ability to switch between compact, subcompact, and now full-size builds without changing the serialized fire control unit is a paradigm shift in handgun customization.
This modularity echoes trends in the pistol market, where users crave personalization without buying multiple whole guns — thereby boosting value and the shooter experience.
Competes More Directly with Full-Size Duty Pistols
With the full-size grip installed, the RXM becomes a more compelling choice for shooters who want:
- Duty-style ergonomics
- Competition-ready handling
- A larger grip without stepping up to a completely different firearm
It’s an economical way to obtain multiple grip sizes and shooting roles from a single base pistol.
Affordable Customization
One of the most important market implications is access: for under $50, shooters can change the RXM’s persona. That’s an accessible price point for serious shooters and enthusiasts alike, unlike many handgun upgrades that push into expensive aftermarket territory.
What Shooters Are Saying
Online communities have been buzzing since the full-size grips started arriving, with many users reporting that the longer grip dramatically improves hand fit and control — especially for shooters who felt the compact frame was too short. This resulted in many buying the full-size grips and upgrading their pistol accordingly. These grassroots reactions demonstrate that real-world shooter sentiment is overwhelmingly positive and that extended grip options were a widely anticipated addition to the RXM ecosystem.
The Broader Market Impact
The launch of full-size RXM grips underscores several broader trends:
1. Modularity Equals Longevity
Firearm designs that allow users to adapt and grow with the platform maintain longer relevance — keeping older guns relevant with new roles.
2. The Market Likes Interchangeability
Shooters increasingly expect firearm systems to be adaptable in size and purpose — a desire that modular grips satisfy without needing multiple serialized builds.
3. Customization Shouldn’t Be Costly
Affordable aftermarket support keeps hobbyists and serious shooters engaged, driving aftermarket sales and fostering brand loyalty.
Conclusion
The arrival of Magpul’s full-size RXM grips isn’t just a new accessory — it’s a significant evolution in how modular pistols are perceived and used. By letting shooters transform the RXM from compact to full-size without replacing core components, this launch pushes the boundaries of handgun adaptability.
If you’re into practical customization — whether for duty, competition, or concealed carry — the full-size EHG grips are a market-shifting upgrade worth paying attention to.
