Another video on the new Ruger RXM, this one from Colion Noir. He seems underwhelmed with the pistol, which is refreshing. Everything does not have to be the latest and greatest. Sometimes a good thing is just a good thing, without having to make a statement.
It drives me crazy when a manufacturer changes a product just because they feel a desire to change. If it works, it works, and there is no reason to change it. I'm not one to tell someone else what they need, or don't need. Freedom is fun, but there are certain items that have always baffled me in the firearms industry. For example, the forward assist on the AR platform. I started with that platform in 1973 when my Uncle Sam handed me one. Never used the forward assist. Likewise, a flared magazine well on a 1911.
As an acolyte of Jeff Cooper, I long considered the 1911 the finest fighting pistol ever devised. Over the years my stance has softened, and I considered the Glock 19 on par with the 1911. But, Glock keeps improving teir pistols and we're into what... Gen 5 now?
Sometimes, Good enough is simply perfect.
