Rost Martin RM1C 9mm 4" CA Compliant Optic Ready Pistol 10+1

The Rost Martin RM1C delivers match-grade accuracy in a California-compliant package designed for competitive shooters and tactical professionals. This optic-ready striker-fired pistol combines precision engineering with practical features that enhance performance across multiple shooting disciplines.

What Makes This Different

The RM1C features a compensated match-grade barrel that reduces muzzle rise and improves follow-up shot speed compared to standard production pistols. The black Tenifer coating provides superior corrosion resistance rated at 68 HRC hardness, significantly outperforming standard nitride finishes. The serrated steel slide cuts weight while maintaining structural integrity, and the factory optic cut accepts popular red dot sights without modification.

Key Features

• 4-inch compensated match-grade barrel with 1:10 twist rate for enhanced accuracy
• Black Tenifer-coated steel slide with factory optic cut and co-witness iron sights
• Textured polymer grip frame with ergonomic finger grooves and palm swells
• California-compliant 10+1 capacity with loaded chamber indicator
• Serrated slide design reduces weight by 15% while maintaining rigidity
• Striker-fired action with consistent 5.5-pound trigger pull
• Ambidextrous slide stop and reversible magazine release

Range testing demonstrates consistent 2.5-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. The compensated barrel system reduces felt recoil by approximately 20% compared to non-compensated variants, enabling faster target transitions in competitive scenarios. The Tenifer coating withstands 500+ hours of salt spray testing, making this pistol suitable for duty use in harsh environments. Standard holster compatibility ensures seamless integration with existing gear setups.
