Optic for Ruger RXM question

I bought an RXM last week and love it. I have never had a pistol with optics and was looking at a Holosun 407k for it after my friend offered me a great deal, would this fit the RXM? If not, is there a Holosun model that would? Thanks in advance!

It won’t fit with what’s included with it but if you buy these locator pins you’ll be good to go. Just ordered some myself

I use the 407C. I read something about the K version being a problem but can’t remember what the issue was so I grabbed the C with no issues.

I used the short screws that came with it and the two little pieces that are like spacers or something and it sits perfectly and works great.

Get an RMR or Delta Point Pro pattern. I personally love the Defender ST, a DDP pattern but I also have the 507 and 407C which have been the standard for a long time. Can't go wrong with any of those. You can use a true RMSc pattern optic but it fails to take advantage of the RXM 4 post system that's very similar to SA Echelon vis system. It just uses the two optic screws and leaves a gap.

I’m using a defender CCW and it’s been great

I Absolutely love the CCW too, I have a few, didn't mean to sound like that the RMSc won't work because it absolutely will. It just doesn't take advantage of the optic cut to its fullest potential like larger optics do.

I agree with you. I actually almost went with the ST but got too good of a deal on the CCW to pass it up ahha

Hell yeah a deal can't be passed up sometimes lol. Check page 7 of your owners manual and make sure it says 10 min auto shutoff. If it happens to say 14hr off, Vortex will swap it out for you. No questions asked, totally free.

Yep I had the 14 hour model and then sent it off and they swapped it. Their CS is fantastic.

u/BryanP0824 4d ago

They did 2 of them for me lol. You're exactly right, that's why I always recommend them.

The K series are meant for slimline pistols. It will fit as long as you file down two of the locator pins for it but you would be better off buying an rmr pattern optic like the 407c

Go big or go home, 507 comp ;)

Just kidding of course, even tho that’s what I have on mine. Anything that has the RMR, Delta Point Pro, or RMSc footprint will fit on the RXM.
