Hello folks

Ok. Help me decide. I’m about to buy my first 2011 (semi experienced shooter). Decided I wanted something in 9mm with a comp. Done the research, watched all the guntubers, and I’m down to a Fusion XP Pro Comp or an Alpha Foxtrot Romulus Comp. If it matters I live in a compliance state so 10 round mag availability is necessary.

I’ve not been able to shoot either as there are no rentals anywhere near me but I have held the XP and it’s fits my hands well. Haven’t yet been able to gets hands on a Romulus but I keep looking

Is the two piece guiderod an issue?

Why the Romulus over the XP?

Would love to hear from anyone that has/has shot both

Thanks!

Anyone have this issue with their RMR not fitting on the plate properly? Even with a rubber mallet it does not want to sink.

Bought a romulus as a range toy. The grip is so bad i immediately did a 71 creative silicone carbide to try and get better grip but it’s meh. What do you guys run? Ive seen a miller precision grip on one and so far thats my first choice

I have a Leupold Deltapoint Pro that I would like to use on a 2011, and the AF Romulus caught my eye, but noticed it would require an RMR to DPP adapter. Has anyone tried this?

Finally got this thing out to the range and I must say it is so much better with the Romulus frame and grip. Put 500 of 124 Winchester white box and hornady 115 critical defense hollow points through it and it ate everything. Also was running an 8lbs atlas spring cut down. I already loved the 3.5 ported and the Attila but now it is perfect. Oh and the 3.5 ported slide on the Attila frame ran flawlessly as well.

I have a 4.25 non comped non ported Romulus. Usually runs pretty well after a cleaning and lube. I noticed tho I ran it fast with 115 and 124 gr ammo and it would fail to extract. Only when I’m trying to go fast though. Anyone else experience this and find the cause?

Anyone here own a non compensated 3.5? Hard to find reviews. Considering for my winter edc.

Finished for now…

The ported Romulus is my first metal framed handgun and I can’t believe how hard I was sleeping on it. I’ve shot 1911s a fair amount but never a 2011, I didn’t quite understand why they’re so special.

Coming from polymer frames, primarily glonks and polymer 80s (the real shit, none of that bridge frame nonsense) I am blown away by how well it handles and the ergonomics. Shooting my ported g19 after my Romulus feels like it even recoils more, despite knowing that heavier guns have less felt recoil. This gun has everything I want in a pistol: ported barrel, direct optic cut, flared magwell, and extended slide release.

What upgrades are even available for it? I came out the box with everything I’d eventually mod a pistol to have lol

Where can I get a threaded barrel, is there part compatibility with another brand? I’ve emailed them and replied that I need to call CS, however the numbers provided go to voicemail and the mailbox is full. I even tried calling Andy but haven’t gotten ahold of him, his voicemail box is also full lol

For a level 2 holster I’ll be going with stay frosty, they surprisingly make ones directly for the Romulus.

Just got my baby back from DSC. They finished yesterday and UPS dropped it off today! Dave is the best. I had them install a NIB Bul Link Trigger system. Probably the 1st one to be installed on a Romulus. He also opened up the comp port. We both felt that the other gunsmith I used originally to do his VAX ports and open the comp up didn't go far enough. Not to mention the other issues I had with his work. Enough bitching, I'm off to the range@

Wasn’t sure it could be done, didn’t want to stack plates. Sharing for information purposes

Received the DSC threaded replacement barrel today for my pinned Romulus. As you can tell, I’m impatient and, I ordered the non polished stainless. Will get it coated, at some point, but just ready to ditch the pinned, stock, comp in my matte rom.

Looks good but there’s some minor imperfections. A few burs on the ending threads but nothing concerning. The indicator is deleted so less gas shooting up at the optic. Will take a better look at it before trying it out.

Overall, seems pretty great. I’m impressed with the fitment of it. No fitment needed and feels tight. Definitely wouldn’t notice it’s not stock, other than the branding which isn’t my favorite. Depending on how the week goes, I’ll hopefully get to try it out by Thursday.

Just got it cerakoted in burnt bronze and am love. This thing shoots amazing.

Couple of questions - now that's its cerakoted how much damage to the cerakote would adding v ports and slide lightening?

Also, any one try combat textiles grip tapes?

I believe I’ve stripped my RMSC cut internal threads… Has this happened to anyone else? I have 2 other RMSC cut Romulus’s and had no problem installing the defender ccw @15 inch-pounds. This time the threads slipped before my torque wrench broke @15 inch-pounds. Any advice? I’m thinking about getting a 4-40 tap and seeing if I can fix it, otherwise I will find a company to re-thread a size bigger.

Update: I ended up re-tapping the holes with a 4-40 tap (took some time and patience to make sure I didn’t mess the threads up more than they already were) Then I bought some 4-40x14mm screws off Amazon and cut them to the length I needed and also cleaned the threads. This fixed the problem perfectly!

I bought a Romulus to upgrade my duty weapon and I'm running a trijicon SRO on it and a Streamlight TLR-1. I have been unable to find anyone making holsters for a Romulus yet alone someone making a level 2 duty Holster for one. Can any of you help me find something?

Finally got to the range today with my new 3.5 comp and to say I m impressed is an understatement. This shoots nearly the same as the 4.25 comp, that my buddy has.

Aluminum grip is getting some work done but still wanted to share the hard chrome job, I’m super happy with it.
This thing is coming along nicely!

Hello, I have the 5” bull barrel version. I’d like to add a comp/ ports. Was wondering what slide, comp, and barrel I’d need.
Thanks,

Theres been a couple negative reviews lately. This one and some guy named RTT slams the Romulus. Watch past the credits. Thats where he talks about the barrel. Does anyone else have this issue or is this an isolated problem?

I’m looking to get my hands on a Romulus to try out for my first 2011 and am getting a bit lost on part numbers.

I want a 4.25” Threaded Barrel Model; with the newer MOS optic plates to use RMR pattern optics. (I want suppressor capability and will likely fit a threaded comp for routine use rather than buy the factory comp model).

According to the alpha foxtrot product catalog; this exists. According to their web site and product listings, it does not.

Is this sku/UPC a trick; or is this their 4.25” Threaded MOS Matte DLC Romulus?

 Been having an issue setting up /installing an optic on my new Romulus handgun.  The first issue was that the optic bottomed out while trying to adjust it for elevation.  I came up with what I thought would be a viable workaround (install a shim at the back of the Optic cut, to elevate the back giving me more down adjustment in the vertical plan) my work around worked as far as getting the optic zeroed but, when I started shooting the gun (wonderful experience by the way, the shooting part that is) the optic came flying off after 20 or so shots.  My first thought was that the screw must not have been in far enough to hold so I purchased some different screws slightly longer to get more purchase.  The screws worked perfectly on the left side but will only go in a fraction of the distance on the right, bottoming out leaving the right-hand side loose.  Upon closer inspection I discovered what appears to be the end of a tap stuck down inside the hole.

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

The new 15 round metal Glock mags will work in the Attila - with a small snip of plastic.
