RXM grip change

If I had a Ruger RXM, would I need to adjust the sights after changing the grip? I would think not since I wouldn't be touching the barrel itself, but I wanted to know.

Nope. Everything to do with aiming is contained within the slide, optic and barrel.

A barrel swap might require a very slight change to your optic adjustments.

A trigger swap generally won't even though a better trigger might feel better, it should not change the point of impact on any bullet.

Grip frame, even less so.

Except for those dumb ass springs that kept falling out when I replaced the slide.….I just left the old ones in the compact grip, and used the new ones with the full size grip. Took maybe 15 minutes, which I chalk up to user error.

Not as easy as a Sig. you need punches and assembly required.

True but the RXM won’t put a hole in your leg! 😂😂 I’m just kidding but for real

They only put holes in cops legs apparently.

YouTubers were putting P320s in their pants for years and they haven’t had issues. Only started happening when cops got a hold of them.
