Basically a AREX Delta Compact knockoff
Which even though a person would think its 19ish
It is closer to weight and width to a 365XL
Uses CZ P10C type magazines

Looks nice, but there are so many great choices in this size/capacity class that are somewhat cheaper already. Plus, it's not compatible with aftermarket Glock or SIG accessories, so.....meh.

Never heard of them until now. The guns have DALLAS TX marked on the slide? Sure is tempting for this multi-generational Texan to throw some money at that Texas firm, and that pistola looks worth the risk . . . at the moment.

A quick check shows one of my local gun shops offering these for $400 to $430 depending on grip frame color.

Give it a year, for first purchasers to find problems.

What I want to know is, who is Rost Martin?

 

[chicharrones]

“The name is a marriage of family names. “Rost” is the middle name of Stefany’s grandfather while “Martin” is the maiden name of Chris’ great-grandmother, a woman remembered for her tenacity. Rost Martin honors the path paved by each of their families in the firearm space.”

My FFL buddy has one. Ive played with it a bit, but haven't shot it yet.

To me it felt a lot like my dads P10c. No real opinion as of yet, but it was nice enough ill have him bring it out next time we shoot so I can play with it.

I just can't get excited about a new, untried pistol with no more capacity (or capacity for its size) than other choices, a 6# trigger, a plate system (rather than direct mounting of RDS) and essentially a 'standard' set of features compared to 20 other guns. MIA is nice, and choices are nice, so I hope they can innovate and not just replicate on upcoming models.

More proof that we are in a bit of a "golden age" for concealable handguns--one can be found to fit every preference and opinion and taste, as well as budget. "American made" will have a cachet for many, if they get a chance to see one--which is often one of the limitations of small manufacturers, just hard to get product in front of enough eyes.

I don't see it as close to a P365XL for what that is worth. Their website shows the "grip width" as 1.1 inches and another website listed width as 1.25 inch. The Glock 19 width is 1.28 inches as widest point for comparison. Still always good to see more options though with these newer manufacturers a big question is what will warranty support and parts availability be for now and in the future as well as third party support such as optional sights and holsters. Reliability and long term durability is also a question at this point.

I look at the RM1C more as a skinnier Glock 19 rather than a longer Sig P365XL.

Yes that is the grip width, not the overall width which another source lists as 1.25 inches, a whole .03 inch less than the Glock 19 overall width.

Thanks for that link. I’ve been on the edge of buying one of those for a week or so. But something else keeps popping up that requires my time and money.
