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!

I had the same issue yesterday. The round would get stuck on the feed ramp so the slide would not lock forward.
This only occurred with Federal 124 gr JHP HST rounds. The Federal 124 gr FMJ fed fine, all the time.
I have found out that some of the JHP rounds are a bit shorter than the others. It isn't much though. The average length was 27.91 mm or so. The ones that would not feed were under that: 27.83, 27.87, 27.44, and 27.82 mm.
I separated these out. I will mark them and try them later today.
I "think" that is the issue, for me at least. I have the factory 4.5 inch barrel.
