ROST MARTIN ~ RM1C ~ 9MM LUGER

Rost-Martin, a veteran-owned company in the Dallas area, popped on the scene in late 2023 on the eve of SHOT Show 2024. Its inaugural project, the RM1C pistol, is an optics-ready compact-sized (think Glock 19) 9mm polymer-framed striker-fired handgun that uses a double-stack magazine. Working in collaboration with AREX, the pistol is remarkably similar to that company's Defense Delta Gen.2 M, which has almost identical specifications. Clearing the air on the Delta comparison, the American-made RM1C has a different grip texture, trigger, and magazine release than the AREX.
