The Tenifer-treated slide has front and rear charging serrations and a flat, non-glare serrated top for reduced glare under light. It is optics-ready with an MRDS cut and removable cover plate compatible with RMR-pattern footprints, and it carries low-profile dovetailed sights front and rear.
A 4 inch hammer-forged barrel and a loaded-chamber viewport at the rear of the hood support the RM1C’s 9mm chambering, marked "9x19" on the barrel hood. Capacity is 17+1 with the included magazines, and the package ships with both 17- and 15-round factory steel mags.
The polymer frame in FDE uses Rost Martin’s molded grip texture with index pads and includes two interchangeable backstraps for fit adjustment. A multi-slot Picatinny accessory rail is integrated into the dustcover.
Controls are fully ambidextrous and mirrored, including the slide stop levers and magazine releases, and the trigger is a flat-faced design with a safety tab. Slide markings read "ROST MARTIN" on the left and "RM1C" on the right, with "DALLAS TX" ahead of the ejection port, underscoring its U.S. manufacture.
This RM1C is part of the RM1 Series introduced in 2024 and has an MSRP of $459. Magazines are reported to be cross-compatible with CZ P-10 pattern magazines.
