Team Ruger’s dynamic duo, David Olhasso and James McGinty, just turned the 2026 Maryland IDPA Championship and PSA Shootout into a Ruger masterclass, sweeping top honors with the slick Ruger RXM in 9mm Luger. McGinty crushed the PSA Shootout’s Open Auto division for first place, while Olhasso dominated the Enhanced Service Pistol class at the Maryland IDPA event. This isn’t just a win streak—it’s a statement from Sturm, Ruger & Co. that their RXM isn’t some range toy; it’s a competition beast engineered for speed, reliability, and precision under pressure. Picture this: in IDPA’s high-stakes stages demanding rapid draws, mag changes, and shoot/no-shoot decisions, the RXM’s optics-ready slide, crisp trigger, and modular grip delivered where lesser pistols falter, proving Ruger’s commitment to pushing practical shooting boundaries.

For the 2A community, these victories ripple far beyond trophies. Maryland’s notoriously restrictive gun laws make this triumph poetic justice—Olhasso and McGinty showcasing a modern, suppressor-ready striker-fired pistol that complies with state regs while outgunning the competition. The RXM’s success spotlights Ruger’s edge in the modular pistol wars, blending PC Carbine compatibility with IDPA dominance to appeal to everyone from weekend warriors to pros. Implications? Expect a surge in RXM adoption among competitive shooters, bolstering Ruger’s market share against Glock and Sig, and reinforcing the narrative that innovation thrives despite anti-gun hurdles. If you’re building a defensive or match rig, the RXM just earned its spot on your shortlist—proving once again that free men with reliable tools win every time.

This Ruger rampage underscores a bigger truth: in an era of constant attacks on our rights, victories like these fuel the fire for training hard and shooting straight. Grab your RXM, hit the range, and channel that Team Ruger energy—because the Second Amendment isn’t defended in courtrooms alone, but on stages like these.
