About this product
What is the Rost Martin RM1C 9mm 4″ 10+1 OD Green Bundle? The Rost Martin RM1C is a duty-ready compact striker-fired 9mm pistol with a 4-inch hammer-forged barrel and an optic-ready slide configured for immediate deployment with four magazines and a Viridian RFX11 green dot reflex sight. This bundle represents significant value for shooters who prioritize mechanical reliability and immediate accessory integration without chasing down individual components. At $478.99, it undercuts comparable factory-ready packages by approximately $150-$200 while maintaining the Tenifer-treated corrosion resistance and RGT texturing that define Rost Martin's combat-oriented design philosophy.
What is the Rost Martin RM1C used for?
The RM1C bundle is configured for concealed carry and duty backup roles where optic-ready performance and multiple magazines are non-negotiable. Its 4-inch barrel balances concealability with ballistic efficiency, producing approximately 1,150 fps velocity with 124gr Federal HST, while the Responsive Grip Texturing maintains control during rapid strings of fire. I’d spec this for off-duty law enforcement or civilian carriers who need a system, not just a pistol.
How does the Rost Martin RM1C compare to the Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 Compact Optics Ready?
The RM1C delivers superior out-of-box value by including four magazines and an optic, while the M&P9 OR typically ships with two magazines and requires a separate $200+ optic purchase. Where the M&P9 excels with its aggressive grip texture and proven track record, the RM1C’s hammer-forged barrel provides marginally better longevity—rated for 25,000 rounds versus Smith’s 20,000—making it the better choice for high-volume trainers on a budget.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 23.7 ounces with the slide measuring 7.2 inches long, 5.3 inches tall, and 1.26 inches wide—dimensionally comparable to a Glock 19 but 0.3 inches shorter in height. The 4-inch barrel contributes to a 6.8-inch overall length, while the grip circumference measures 5.6 inches, accommodating medium to large hands without excessive printing in IWB holsters.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this bundle if you require suppressor-height sights or a threaded barrel, as the RM1C’s fixed sights and non-threaded muzzle preclude suppressor or compensator use without aftermarket modification. Competition shooters seeking sub-3-pound triggers should look at the Stevens 334 in .308 Win for precision work, as the RM1C’s 5-pound break prioritizes safety over speed.
What’s in the box?
You receive the pistol, four 10-round magazines, Viridian RFX11 reflex sight, RMR mounting plate, cable lock, and owner’s manual—everything needed to zero and run the system inside 30 minutes. The inclusion of four magazines doubles the typical factory offering, enabling 40 rounds of immediate capacity versus the two-magazine norm seen in bundles like the Stevens 555 Sporting.
Is the Rost Martin RM1C worth it at $478.99?
Absolutely, provided you value the Viridian optic and extra magazines at approximately $250 combined—effectively making the pistol itself a $229 investment. Comparable optics-ready compacts like the Canik TP9 Elite SC start at $400 without an optic, placing the RM1C bundle 38% below the cost of building a similar system piecemeal.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Holosun 507C?
- Yes, the RM1C’s optic cut uses the RMR footprint, which directly accepts Holosun 507C, 508T, and Trijicon RMR models without adapter plates. Mounting requires four M3x0.5mm screws no longer than 10mm to avoid obstructing the extractor plunger.
- Does it fit Glock 19 holsters?
- No, the RM1C’s slide width of 1.26 inches and trigger guard geometry differ from Glock’s 1.34-inch profile, requiring Rost Martin-specific holsters. I recommend Vedder Holsters’ LightTuck model RM1C for secure IWB carry.
