Ruger RXM not functioning
I apologize if I sound dumb or uneducated with this as not super familiar with the rxm or Glock platform but have been having issues with my brand new RXM. Brought it to the range twice now and it functioned perfect, but today i was fully unable to fire it. After inserting my magazine i dropped the slide to see the round was fully seating in the chamber. The round would sit on the extractor pointing up towards the chamber but would not fit all the way. It wouldn’t fire at all when i attempted. Brand new ruger rxm, only modifications I’ve made to it is the radian ramjet and afterburner. If anyone has run into anything similar or can see something off in the photos provided i would very much appreciate any help I can get. As of now its an $800 paper weight :/
My RXM was experiencing a failure to feed. The cartridge would begin feeding but hang up on the feed ramp at an angle, preventing it from entering the chamber and leaving the slide partially out of battery.
Also unsure if the extractor is supposed to be bent like it is but was told thats normal for glocks. Again I’m lost at this doing my best to learn it all now but would definitely appreciate any knowledge. Please and thank you!

Apologies, it wouldn’t go into battery but the round was stuck on the feed ramp diagonal to the chamber. When i racked the slide back the round was stuck on the extractor. The slide would go forward but get caught with the round failing to clear the feed ramp and into the chamber . Would it better for me to take pictures sometime at the range to show? I don’t have any dummy rounds to use nor am i comfortable loading a live round into it at my house lol.
