Texas-based Rost Martin launched a bit of a David-and-Goliath battle two years ago when it jumped into the crowded and competitive compact 9 mm semi-auto market with its RM1C.

The Rost Martin RM1F completes the company’s line-up with a full-size model. The new full-size RM1 pistols share the features introduced with the original RM1C. They are striker-fired, have…
