Description
The Ruger RXM ships with a polymer grip module from the factory, and it does the job, but it doesn't do much for you if you want something with more weight, more grip texture, and a little personality. Sharps Bros machines this replacement module from solid 7075-T6 aluminum and finishes it in a bronze Cerakote coating with blacked-out anodized aluminum grip panels, giving the RXM a two-tone look that stands out from anything Ruger offers off the shelf. Because the RXM uses a removable, serialized fire control insert, you can drop this module in without touching the part of the gun that matters most.
This RXM Grip Module Is Machined, Not Molded
Instead of injection molded polymer, this grip module starts life as a solid billet of 7075-T6 aluminum before it's cut down on a CNC machine. That extra density adds a bit of heft to the RXM and gives the frame more rigidity than the factory module. Bronze Cerakote covers the aluminum body for corrosion resistance and a finish that holds up to holster wear better than raw metal, while the black anodized panels are set into the frame for the contrast look.
The Sharps Bros Grip Angle That Points Where You're Looking
The factory RXM grip measures 1.15 inches wide with a rectangular profile and rounded corners. This module runs slightly wider at 1.3 inches with an oval contour, and Sharps Bros steepened the grip angle to 15 degrees in the process. That change promotes better wrist alignment, a faster sight picture on the draw, and flatter recoil through strings of fire. Thumb ledges built into the frame give your support hand something to index off without adding bulk.
How This Grip Module Fits Your Existing RXM Setup
Because the RXM shares a lot of its architecture with the Gen3 Glock 19, this grip module keeps that compatibility, so most of the Gen3-pattern parts, holsters, and mag releases you already own should still work fine. A four-slot M1913 Picatinny rail sits up front for mounting a light, and a flared magazine well helps get mags started on a reload without fumbling. Down the road, the frame is also built to accept aftermarket panels from VZ Grips and Burkett Customs if you want to keep customizing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a whole new frame, or does my existing fire control insert transfer over?
Your Ruger RXM's fire control insert is what actually makes it a functioning pistol, and moving it between grip modules is a straightforward swap. You pull the FCI out of your factory polymer module, drop it into this one, and reinsert the same pins and springs. Most owners get through the swap at home in under fifteen minutes with basic tools.
Will my current holster and magazines still work with this Sharps Bros RXM grip?
Since this module keeps the RXM's Gen3 Glock-pattern compatibility, the magazines and mag release you already run should drop right in. Holster fit can vary a little because the module is slightly thicker than the factory grip, so a holster molded tightly for a Glock 19 or the stock RXM might feel a touch snug. Holsters with a bit more room to spare tend to handle the change without any issue.
Does this grip module come with the fire control insert or magazines included?
No, this is the grip module by itself. The fire control insert is the serialized piece from your existing RXM and needs to be moved over from your factory module, and your current magazines continue to work with this module with no modification needed.
Is there a break-in period with this aluminum grip module?
Some owners notice the mating surfaces between the slide and this aluminum module feel a little tight right out of the box, since it is metal on metal instead of metal on polymer. After a few hundred rounds those surfaces smooth out and the fit settles in nicely. Any minor feeding hiccups in the first range trip or two typically clear up on their own as everything wears in.
