Rost Martin Firearms
About Rost Martin
Rost Martin emerged as a promising new firearms manufacturer when founders Chris and Stefany Toomer established the company in 2020.
Chris Toomer, a former U.S. Marines Captain with experience at Springfield Armory, partnered with Stefany Toomer, granddaughter of Frank Reese who resurrected Springfield Armory in the 1970s.
The company made its public debut at SHOT Show 2024, where industry experts noted they didn't just get their foot in the door but "kicked it open."
Based in Dallas, Texas, Rost Martin focuses exclusively on striker-fired pistols designed for concealed carry and personal defense.
Their mission centers on providing American shooters with high-performance, feature-rich pistols at fair prices under the motto "The Next Generation of Freedom."
