The Rost Martin RM1C: Now California Compatible

CADRE Dispatch

It is hard to break ground in a flooded market, but Rost Martin of Dallas, Texas has managed to do so in the realm of striker-fired pistols.

The Rost Martin RM1C debuted in January 2024 to wide acclaim for its reliability, superior ambidextrous controls, RMR capability, and one of the best out -of-box triggers on the market. Now the California Department of Justice has approved the RM1C for sale in California.

“We know how important the preservation of the 2nd Amendment is to those in California, so we moved as fast as we could to get this gun onto their roster,” explains Rost Martin CEO Chris Toomer.

“As a company, we acknowledge that many gun owners in California are holding down the Constitutional lines of freedom within the state, and we strive to honor their commitment to that freedom. We aim to make as many future Rost Martin firearms available to Californians as possible,” he continues. “We’re all part of the same 2A family.”

After passing the extensive safety testing of the Department of Justice, the same great Rost Martin RM1C is now available to the millions of California gun owners who choose to exercise their right to keep and bear arms.

The Rost Martin RM1C is a compact polymer-framed pistol that features a slim 1.1-inch profile, a 4-inch hammer forged barrel, a fully ambidextrous magazine release and slide release, as well as a tough nitrocarburized slide complete with an RMR optics plate.

It comes complete with a trigger safety and firing pin safety that passed testing with flying colors. The only difference is the inclusion of California-legal 10-round magazines rather than the usual 15-17 round magazines that are available. MSRP on the Rost Martin RM1C is $459.
