Shooting News Weekly on the Rost Martin RM1C
Shooting News Weekly editor Jeremy took the Rost Martin RM1C to the range for a short review. He said the company “was announced at SHOT Show 2024,” said this is their first gun, and described it as “a polymer‑framed striker‑fired pistol” that is “a compact.” He also called it “optics‑ready, which is really nice.”
Start with what he didn’t love. On the polymer, he said “it feels a little cheap.” The grip texture is “pretty decent,” he said, but “it could be grippier for my preference.” Beyond those nits, he said “I don’t actually have any objections to any of the fit, finish or format.”
Then what went right. “It does deliver a pretty decent trigger,” he said, with “some takeup” before a break that is “nice and crisp,” plus a “pretty short and very pronounced reset.” On the line, “so far it has run absolutely great,” and “it shoots well, it shoots flat.” He liked that it is “a fully ambidextrous truly out of the box gun,” with a magazine release that “actually functions from both sides” and a slide lock on both sides too. He wrapped with “overall it’s a solid pistol” and said he had nothing really negative to say about it.
Here’s our take. This is one pistol and one short range session, with no group size or round count given. Treat it as one reviewer’s first look, not a long‑term test of every RM1C.
You can order the Rost Martin RM1C in 9mm, Black. It’s the same model he reviews, not his exact pistol, and what ships with ours may differ from the package he shows. Complete firearm. Indiana FFL transfer through Wulfy’s. Ask us for current fees.
