Ruger and Magpul Announce 9mm Pistol Collaboration

Thursday, December 12th, 2024

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) and Magpul Industries are proud to introduce the RXM™ 9mm pistol. In the competitive 9mm polymer-frame striker-fired pistol market, the RXM sets itself apart. The RXM offers maximum flexibility and customization via a removable stainless steel Fire Control Insert (FCI) set inside an interchangeable Magpul® Enhanced Handgun Grip (EHG™). As part of their ongoing collaboration, Ruger and Magpul will be offering a variety of grip frames so that consumers can customize their pistol to meet shifting tastes and needs.

The RXM’s slide features a black FNC nitride finish and allows for direct optic mounting of RMR®, Delta Point Pro (DPP), and RMSc pattern optics. Co-witness height steel sights feature a tritium front night sight, providing an excellent sight picture, with or without an optic installed. Front cocking serrations and a precision-rifled barrel complete the premium slide assembly. The pistol is equipped with a flat-faced trigger and easily actuated magazine release, slide release and takedown lever, but the best features are the ones you add. Most major components are designed for Glock® Gen 3 compatibility with off-the-shelf parts, holsters, and accessories for nearly unlimited customization, and the RXM is designed to use 9mm magazines compatible with compact or larger double-stack Glock® pistols, including Magpul GL9® magazines.

The Magpul EHG offers consumers premium features, including Magpul’s ¾-scale TSP texture, which provides a comfortable, secure grip. Other EHG features include: textured indexing pads for consistent finger / thumb placement; a low-profile, flared magazine well for quick and easy magazine insertion; a trigger guard undercut and beaver tail that promote a high grip for better control; a magazine release scallop for easy access; and a universal-pattern accessory rail for use with a variety of lights and lasers.

“The RXM is the result of a tremendous collaboration between two of the most respected brands in the industry,” said Ruger President and CEO Chris Killoy. “Loaded with upgraded features, superior ergonomics, and at a price that leaves room for further customization, this American-made handgun is destined to become the best in its class.” Magpul’s Executive Vice President, Duane Liptak, added “Magpul and Ruger are two of the most renowned brands in the firearms space, with each bringing a unique perspective to this project: Ruger, with its skill at making high-quality guns at very accessible prices, and Magpul, with its performance-improvement-focused accessories. This collaboration has allowed both companies to flex their creative muscles, resulting in a firearm that provides superior features, function, and value.”

The RXM is available in two models; each ships with two Magpul GL9 magazines, with either 15- or 10-round capacity.

Rheinmetall and Auterion are Working Together on Drone Technology and Developing Standard Operating System for Military Industries

Tuesday, December 10th, 2024

Rheinmetall, a leading system supplier for defence technology and Auterion, the leading supplier of drone operating systems, will be working closely together to develop standardised software-based components for unmanned drone systems. The two companies signed an agreement, thereby establishing a long-term co-operation.

The two partners are combining their expertise in order to create a military industry standard for controlling and operating unmanned aerial, land and naval drone systems. The co-operation includes joint product development and sales activities for unmanned platforms. The resulting homogeneous operating system is expected to provide military users with a significant advantage.

As a drone manufacturer, Rheinmetall is drawing on the operational experience gained from the Luna NG and Aladin systems and incorporating it into its work with the customer. Various drone systems from the Düsseldorf-based technology group have already been in service for many years with the German Armed Forces / Bundeswehr and have been deployed in Ukraine for several months.

Dr Timo Haas, Chief Digital Officer at Rheinmetall AG, explains: “We see over two hundred different aerial unmanned systems in Ukraine. This makes military training very costly and time-consuming, and system interoperability is not guaranteed. Co-operation with Auterion and the development of a homogeneous operating system will enable the efficient and scalable deployment of unmanned systems. With our approach, there will be no need for system-dependent user training or system-specific integration into an overall system network in the future”.

Lorenz Meier, CEO of Auterion: “In the future, drones will be used in large quantities and, like computers and smartphones, they need a common operating system to make this happen. AuterionOS allows the customer to combine all drones on a common basis and to integrate different manufacturers into a common architecture. Our software stack has already been tried and tested in operation and thus enables software-defined defence”.
