Rost Martin RM1F Tactical 9mm 15rd Pistol

The Rost Martin RM1F Tactical is a striker fired 9mm pistol running a 15 round magazine. Striker fired guns took over the duty and carry market for a straightforward reason: every trigger press feels the same. There is no long first pull followed by a short one, no hammer to decock, nothing extra to learn or to get wrong under pressure. The shooter learns one trigger and that is the trigger for every round in the magazine.

9mm with a 15 round magazine is the working standard for a defensive handgun, and it has been for years. Recoil stays mild enough that a shooter can work through a full box without the hand giving out, modern defensive loads perform well out of it, and practice ammunition is the most common centerfire on the shelf, which matters because trigger time is what makes anyone good with a handgun. Tactical is the configuration name Rost Martin puts on this RM1F, and the 15 round magazine is the number the gun is built around. Held in two hands, a 9mm like this is an easy gun to shoot well, and that counts for more than any spec on the sheet.
