The Rost Martin RM1C CA Model 9mm Pistol in FDE (brand part no. RM1CFDEOSP10CA) is the flat dark earth California version of the optic-ready RM1C compact striker-fired pistol. Rost Martin fits it with a crowned 4-inch hammer-forged barrel, a low bore axis and Responsive Grip Texturing. Rost Martin states that California-compliant models include a magazine disconnect. The slide is cut for a red dot with a metal RMR plate and keeps the serrations and three-slot Picatinny rail of the standard RM1C. It is a compact tan carry and range pistol for California buyers.

Key Specifications

• The finish and color are FDE (flat dark earth), as listed by Rost Martin for this version of the RM1C.
