Remember when Glock boosted the Glock 19’s capacity by switching to a full-size frame from a Glock 17? They called it the Glock 19X, and Rost Martin is using the same naming concept for the RM1CX (itself a Glock clone).
All three of the RM1X pistols feature a match barrel inside a compact slide, and a full-size frame with room for 17-round flush magazines. Extended 19-round magazines are also available, as are state-compliant models. Rost Martin has already submitted an application for the California Safe Handgun Roster.
First up is the RM1CX – the foundation of Rost Martin’s X line. It delivers familiar features like a white dot front sight, a five-pound trigger, and an optic-ready slide that comes with an RMR adapter plate from the factory.
The RM1CX Comp is nearly identical, except it features a ported barrel and slide to take the edge off of muzzle rise during rapid strings of fire.
Last but not least is the RM1CX Tactical. Factory upgrades include suppressor-height sights and a threaded barrel. If you’re planning on adding a suppressor, this is the one to have.
Rost Martin lists an MSRP of $469 to $549 for the RM1X.
