Team Ruger's David Olhasso and James McGinty earned first-place finishes in two divisions at the 2026 IDPA Liberty Match in Valley Forge, PA, competing with their reliable Ruger RXM® pistols. The match is hosted by the Lower Providence Rod and Gun Club and challenges shooters with a multi-stage course of fire that rewards accuracy, speed and equipment reliability.
Starting off strong, Olhasso competed in the Full Size Iron (FSI) division, earning first place with an impressive score of 256.6. McGinty followed up with a first-place finish in the Full Size Optic (FSO) division with a final score of 207.18. Together, they delivered consistent, podium-topping performances over the course of the multi-stage match.
"Our Team Ruger shooters put the RXM to the test against a demanding field, and Olhasso and McGinty delivered," said Abbey Clary, Director of Marketing for Ruger. "Two first-place finishes in two different divisions show the performance, reliability and versatility we built into this pistol with Magpul®. Congratulations to both shooters on a great match."
The RXM pistol is a collaboration between Ruger and Magpul, combining many years of experience designing and producing innovative firearms and accessories. Made in America, the 9mm optic-ready pistol was built around personalization and customization, and the match results demonstrate its readiness for competition. The RXM features a removable, serialized stainless steel Fire Control Insert (FCI) set inside an interchangeable Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip (EHG™). Because the FCI can be moved between compatible grip modules, shooters can change the look and feel of their pistol. Most major components are designed for Gen 3 compatibility, allowing the RXM to work with many off-the-shelf holsters and accessories. The RXM is offered with 4-inch and 4.5-inch barrels in 15+1 and 17+1 capacities.
The Liberty Match caps a strong stretch for Olhasso and McGinty, who have found repeated success with Ruger firearms in 2026. Ruger is proud of Team Ruger's Olhasso and McGinty for their performance throughout the 2026 season and looks forward to supporting them in upcoming matches.
