The Ruger RXM has quickly become a favorite among firearm enthusiasts for its balance of size, performance, and modularity.

In this guide, we will explore the best holster options for the Ruger RXM, as well as essential accessories that can enhance your carrying experience.
Why Choosing the Right Ruger RXM Holster Matters
Holsters do more than just hold your firearm. They provide safety by covering the trigger guard, allow for efficient access when needed, and ensure comfort during daily carry. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a holster:
Retention: Ensures the firearm stays securely in place.
Comfort: Whether carrying inside-the-waistband (IWB) or outside-the-waistband (OWB), a well-designed holster reduces discomfort.
Concealability: Some holsters minimize printing (visible firearm outline) better than others.
Durability: Quality materials, such as Kydex, ensure longevity and reliability.
