Ruger’s RXM pistol is now in Everytown’s crosshairs — and the fight looks like it could set the tone for how manufacturers and courts treat gun design going forward.

Everytown for Gun Safety’s legal arm sent a blunt letter to Ruger’s general counsel on November 3, urging the company to pull the RXM from the market or redesign its internal trigger system.
The group argues the RXM shares the same kind of internal trigger geometry that, at least in their opinion, has allowed small conversion devices — often called “Glock switches” or auto sears — to turn some semi-automatic pistols into illegal fully automatic weapons.
“Ruger faces a choice following Glock’s recent announcement,” Everytown’s chief litigation counsel Eric Tirschwell wrote, urging Ruger to “put public safety first.”
Why this matters now: Glock recently said it would discontinue many of its longstanding models, a move Everytown celebrated as a victory for its legal and legislative campaign. With Glock stepping back, Everytown is telling Ruger it doesn’t want the RXM to become “the new crime gun of choice” simply because it uses a similar internal layout. The letter points to a dramatic rise in recoveries of conversion devices nationwide and notes a string of civil suits brought by cities and states against Glock over similar concerns.
