First Look: Rost Martin RM1S

Looking for a reasonably priced, feature-packed, striker-fired compact pistol? The Rost Martin RM1S, the latest addition to the popular Rost Martin RMI series, is an excellent choice for your next firearm purchase. This black-polymer-frame pistol offers a nitrocarbonized steel slide and combines a range of standout features that not only enhance performance but also make it a pleasure to own, all without breaking the bank.

Attractive and lean, the RM1S grip is 1.1 inches wide and has more texture and surface area for a more secure hand grip that helps improve accuracy and aids in control. A moderate beavertail allows for a higher grip and has a funneled magazine well for speedier reloads. The RM1S is chambered in 9mm and offers a 3.6-inch, hammer-forged barrel. The flat-faced trigger brings a short, consistent, break and the trigger pull weighs in at just under 5 pounds.
