Rost Martin
Rost Martin was founded in 2020 in Dallas, Texas, by Chris and Stefany Toomer — a Marine veteran and the daughter of Springfield Armory's CEO. The company name honors family surnames from both founders. Their debut pistol, the RM1C, launched at SHOT Show 2024 and immediately gained attention for packing premium features into a sub-$500 price point.
