We're familiar with Rost Martin's RM1C, RM1C Comp, and RM1S pistols; an American-made improvement of the Arex Delta design, offering great ergonomics, and the RM1S in particular offers one of the most shootable subcompacts on the market. Now Rost Martin has announced two new full-size options which I expect to be excellent. Original press release below as seen on the Outdoor Wire.

"Rost Martin proudly introduces two new full-size models to its acclaimed RM1 family: the RM1F and RM1F Tactical. Built with adaptability in mind, both pistols feature 4.5-inch barrels, fully ambidextrous controls, and signature grip texturing for confident handling. With options tailored for everyday carry, range use, or duty applications, the RM1F series delivers reliable performance and versatility to suit a range of personal protection scenarios.

"As we expand the RM1 family, the introduction of the RM1F series reflects our commitment to innovation and to meeting the needs of our customers. I am very excited about completing the RM1 series family with the introduction of the full-size," said Rost Martin CEO Chris Toomer. "This launch marks an important step in our growth, and we look forward to bringing even more new offerings to the market in 2026."

RM1 F Full-sizeThe RM1F standard pistol delivers reliable performance and versatility for everyday shooters. Featuring a 4.5-inch hammer-forged match barrel, optic-ready slide, and both flush-fit and extended magazines, this model is engineered for accuracy, control, and adaptability in any scenario. The flat face trigger and double-action striker system ensure a crisp pull and dependable safety.

RM1F TacticalFor those seeking increased capacity and additional features, the RM1F Tactical includes 17-round and 24-round magazines, a threaded barrel for accessory compatibility, and suppressor-height sights. Built for shooters who demand more from their sidearm, the Tactical model combines all the performance-driven elements of the RM1F Standard with upgrades designed for the range, duty, or personal defense.

RM1F California (Coming Soon)Supporting the California market is central to Rost Martin's mission of ensuring the next generation of gun owners not only inherits Second Amendment rights but are empowered to exercise them. To serve customers in all regions, including restrictive states such as California, the RM1F series will offer a California-compliant model along with models in 10-round and 15-round magazine capacities, ensuring compliance without compromising quality or reliability.

SHOT Show 2026The new RM1F series will make its official debut at SHOT Show, where attendees can visit Rost Martin at booth #40331 to explore the newest products and view the newest pistols firsthand. Additional information about the RM1F series is available online at rostmartin.com
