Three Configurations for Every Need​

The RM1X series is available in three distinct models:

All three models combine a full-size grip for improved control and capacity with a compact slide and 4-inch barrel for better balance and easy concealment. Built on Rost Martin's proven platform, each RM1X features fully ambidextrous controls, an optics-ready slide, a hammer-forged match barrel, and the brand's signature grip texture, delivering the comfort and performance that define the RM1 lineup.

Built on Real Feedback​

"We're here for our customers, every step of the way. The RM1X series is a testament to our ongoing commitment to quality, reliability, and supporting the next generation of gun owners."

I just want to add.. Rost Martin, being a new player backed this site when it was tiny and the very first regular sponsor. They're good value guns and affordable.

They have good customer service too. I think I’d rather have the RM1CX comp than the RM1S comp I currently have. Any possibility we’ll have a chance to try out this new model?

I bought the comp’d version and added the trigger upgrade. Very happy with it.

Did you do the trigger work yourself or take to a gunsmith?

So it’s a Glock 45 with better ergos? How hard is it to remove the mag disco and LCI?

Would like to rent one of their firearms. They look good.

I have the R1MS if you want to try it.. Ergo's are good but it's more of an EDC kinda firearm. I haven't tried to remove those features. Let me know next time you head to the range, you can try it.

We won't get any this year, but after we get a little bigger it'll be fun to try and setup a range day up North.

I did it myself. If you are familiar with Glocks, you shouldn’t have any issues with it.

The RM1C will be on my CCW but the RM1CX looks a bit more appealing.

 

[Gawernator]

It was requested to leave a comment… they look cool enough, I don’t know anything about them. I’m just already established with the guns I have and don’t have a reason to switch over ecosystems

 

[FTSheartlesssYo]

I’ve shot a few of their models at an oak tree event when all the companies came out. it didn’t sell me but I didn’t like glocks at the time. I’d be interested in how they shoot again cause I don’t remember

Looks like there is practice on the 12 at RRGC. I’ll be there. Thank you.

Couldn't look at myself in the mirror if I owned a compensated 9mm.
