Well i went and offered them 450 out the door and they took it. feels good in the hand, slide seems well made and racks smoothly. but it has plastic rails on the grip frame. ive looked at a lot of stuff praising this gun. guess plastic against metal is considered ok now. but the plastic can be replaced unlike the Ruger where the whole lower would have to be replaced. but, i will never wear it out. don't know how many rounds it would take to wear it out. Trigger seems decent but nothing great. seems like a decent pistol for the price. mags are cheap too. 24.50 at their website. it comes with a Metal RMR plate and extra backstraps.

yeah. does look like a glock.

i too never heard of this company, so.........a Glock which has been proven over time, would be what i'd buy..

i ain't got too much time left on this earth, to see how well built and long lasting a Rost Martin is.
 
Here's XDMan's review of the gun:

Honest Review: Rost Martin RM1C, the Coolest New Kid in Class

The Rost Martin RM1C is a compact polymer pistol that is about the size of a Glock 19 for comparison. Big enough to serve as a duty-sized pistol, but small enough to also be easily concealed. What differentiates the RM1c from other “budget” pistols in the same class is that this is from a...

And the video I posted from Shot Show with KJ of Gun Talk talking with Chris Toomer (owner of Rost Martin along with his wife Stefanie). Chris goes into how they came up with the name, their connection with Springfield Armory, etc.:

Belt Fed, it looks great. I'm liking that gray frame 👍. I'm seriously considering one. I noticed that the specs state the frame width is 1.1", a Hellcat is 1", an Echelon is 1.2", and a G19 is something like 1.26-1.3", how's it feel in the hand?

Never before published photo:

I took this pic in 2004, when my old friend Booya Sam came to a town near me to teach a class, and I volunteered to assist at it just to help "pass it on." While the class watched videos, Sam and his staff and volunteers would sneak down to the range and get in some trigger time. In this particular session, the fellow on the right, a trauma/ER surgeon Sam had brought in to give the lecture on gunshot wounds, was proudly showing off his new "Blue Gun" (inert) Glock, and said that he'd left it in the sun once and it had gotten a little soft until it had cooled off again. And the guy on the left, one of Sam's staffers, had just said, "So you're telling us you had a limp Glock?" Which everyone thought was pretty funny.

The little guy in the yellow shirt is my Son, who was 14 at the time. This was the second time he'd been in Booya Sam's presence, the first time when he was negative two months old--in 1989, The Lovely Mrs. Snake, then seven months pregnant, joined me for Booya Sam's Kubotan class. Shortly after this pic was taken (or shortly before, I forget which), Booya Sam had invited Son to shoot the pistol he was carrying that week, which as I recall was some sort of Springfield Armory 1911. I had the good sense to take a pic of this event, and am pleased to this day to see how Sam is smiling. This was my proudest moment as a Dad, at least until 2015 when Son earned his USAF wings.

nope, it's plastic both the front and rear.

If you're referring to the slide rails in the frame I can see the front and rear are metal. The front locking block appears to have metal injection molding marks or casting. The rear is definitely MIM as the marks are very apparent.

You two are exactly right, i took it apart again and looked real close and it is metal.
