Rost Martin Holsters

Rost Martin is one of the most compelling new entries in the American firearms market in recent years. Founded and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Rost Martin launched the RM1C in early 2024 with a straightforward mission: build a compact 9mm carry pistol with premium features at an honest price. The RM1C delivers a 4" hammer-forged barrel, ambidextrous controls, a smooth five-pound trigger with a clean break and short reset, a low bore axis for improved muzzle control, and an optics-ready slide that ships with an RMR footprint plate installed — all for an MSRP under $500. It's a pistol that competes well above its price class, and the company backs it with a lifetime warranty validated through rigorous pre-production stress testing.

Because the RM1C is a newer platform, holster selection requires some care. The RM1C has its own distinct frame geometry and is not a direct clone of any existing pistol — meaning generic or "compatible" holsters carry real risk of improper fit. Rost Martin is explicit that holsters designed specifically for the RM1C are the only ones they recommend. KSG Armory forms every RM1C and RM1S holster over the actual firearm, ensuring the holster is built to the precise geometry of the pistol — not a guess based on a similar-sized gun. It's the right approach for a new platform that deserves to be carried correctly.
