Fantastic customer service

Great review . Thank you. I bought an awesome hybrid iwb from Muddy tactical , very comfortable and well made . I mounted a Gideon optics Alpha RDS and now I’m searching for a suppressor height sight for co-witnessing , the Alpha is rather thick and the optics cut shallow so we shall see , takes Springfield XD/XDM sights . I’m looking at Ameriglo . Looks good, well made , feels good in the hand , haven’t shot it yet .

How do you like your Gideon optic? They have on my radar for awhile just haven't pulled the trigger yet and it looks like they are picking up some traction on KZbin. Also, Muddy River Tactical makes great holsters, glad to see that they are making one for the RM1C. Not sure if you were if you were looking for confirmation corncerning XD/XDM sights, but yes according to Rost Martin spec sheet they sent me - Aftermarket Compatibility: XD/XDM sight configuration.

@@thehumblesouthpaw so far I like it. Clear glass, robust construction. I have the green version , gets plenty bright in the sun , hasn’t lost zero, was almost dead on out of the box . Only issue I had was the screws included were either too long or too short . My gunsmith found the right size screws . You only have a circle and a dot. I prefer just a dot but that’s a personal preference. I mainly use Trijicon or Aimpoint or Holosun optics so this is a test to see how it holds up. It also has a shake to awake feature which conserves battery . So far I’m pleased . I think Gideon is an up and coming company with some affordable options .

Nice, just the video i was looking for. Currently have a TP Elite SC and its pretty thicc. Is the grip width thicker on the RM1C?

[@thehumblesouthpaw]

Just measured both guns. Rost Martin Grip width is 1.0 inches and the Canik Elite SC is 1.1 inches. So, they are pretty close in grip thickness!

How does it compare to the HELLCAT PRO?

[@thehumblesouthpaw]

It has been a while since I shot a Hellcat Pro, but I definitely preferred it over my 365XL (I won the XL through a company contest). First, let me say the Hellcat Pro is considered a micro-compact and completes against 365XL. RM1C is not micro-compact - but there is not huge size and weight difference between them. But if I had to choose between the two - I would choose the RM1C. For these reasons 1) fully ambidextrous out of the box 2) reduced recoil (low bore axis)/smooth firing 3) excellent trigger (maybe not as good as a Canik out of the box, but close.) 4) excellent build quality 5) bang for your buck. However, at the end they are both excellent firearms and will come down to what you are looking for and what feels good in your hands. Hellcat Pro v.
