Rost Martin R1MF comes to Califnoria

Announcement Closed AMA Rost Martin AMA through 8/4-8/5

No longer open for discussion or the subject timeline has ended
I really love the feel of your gun in the hand and have been very impressed how it shoots.

Do you have any plans for a micro compact 3" barrel model?

Thank you for the kind words. We are happy to do our small part in helping California gun owners. Our goal is to have all of our products on the California roster eventually.

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond!

Just to clarify, my main question was whether there are plans to develop a compensated/ported version for the RM1S, like the one done for the RM1C.

It would definitely be awesome if that kind of variant (if produced) could make it onto the roster too, so I’m glad to hear that would be part of your goal!
 
Rost Martin said:
We are submitting the Comp for testing, and we hope to have it on the roster sometime this fall. If you already own a California-compliant RM1C, you can purchase the comp slide and barrel directly from our website.

Thank you for the response. Just trying to save some money and being in CA getting double taxed buying your pistol without a comp, background and taxes then buying the comp slide would get near to $1,000.

I was able to handle your pistol in the store and I really like it, I was thinking of a second M&P but I think I am going with your pistol and I would love to see more calibers as well. Being in CA I get so a small choice or spend the aftermarket and see triple priced. Plus I prefer buying new and have that warranty.

I am impressed and pleased seeing you guys pushing out to CA this way thank you again

Are any parts interchangeable with the Arex Delta line of pistols ? What are the main differences between your models and the Arex Delta?
 
Are there any plans to make a slimline (43x) for CA? That seems to me a major missed market which is why off rosters go for triple msrp. Another option besides something like a 365x or hellcat would be nice.

I don't know if this is over. But I have had an itch to buy another handgun that itch has been bugging me for over a month and Goldd Bond will not help. As the old saying goes, I have more guns than I need but not more than I want. I have been kind of leaning your way since American made and your sponsorship here.
Read articles in Guns and Ammo, today I read the one dated 4/1/24 by Eric Poole which really impressed me. So, tomorrow I will be calling my FFL to see how much it will cost. I already have high 3 figures set aside just need to find out what the out the door price will be.
I am looking at the RM1C my question has to do with the grip. I really like my Glock 19 and the Sig 365Macro grip the best of all my handguns. How would you say the grip of the 1C compares? Another question is how to you market your guns. through distributors (whole sellers)? I have never bought from places like Sportsmans Warehouse or Turners and probably never will. I like to support local FFLs even if the cost is $200 over previously mentioned places.
Now guys that doesn't mean I am wealthy it just means it may take me a little longer to come up with the money for my purchase.🤪🤫
Thank you for being here.

Ask me ANYTHING? Ok here are some questions then, be ready.

How much does it cost to submit a gun to the CA roster? How many guns do you have to send to DOJ? Are they destroyed or returned to you after they are approved/denied?

Also, what is the true cost to make a handgun? I understand there’s overhead, salaries, engineering and marketing you have to pay.

But how much in materials to make just the frame? The polymer material can’t be that much, is it?

I understand you have to mark up the price to stay in business which is perfectly normal. I just want to know how much it costs for a barrel, frame, springs and magazines.

You said ask me anything :D
 
That 3D model viewer on your website activated my monkey brain because I was playing around with it for a good minute lmao.
 
Do your guns feel like Glock in hand or are they different like shadow systems?
Is the grip angle 22 degrees like Glocks?
