I know Stay frosty is on here, but are there any others that people have tried they have been comfortable and quality? I'm open.
I've heard the Tenicor CERTUM3 is a possible good one as well as the QVO tact.
Picked up the 3.5 today. Placed an order for the Miller Precision grip module.
I just picked up a used Attila - it doesn't seem to have been shot too much, but when taking it down to clean, I found the comp is stuck on. So that's interesting but not a huge deal.
Other than that, seems like it was a good buy - it came with 4 S15 gen3 mags and a G43X 10-rd, RMR plate on the gun and RMS-C plate. It didn't come with optic-to-plate screws though so I'll have to figure that out, maybe a trip to the hardware store. Planning on a 507K - backup irons might even be usable, similar sight picture to using the rear notch on a K optic.
Hopefully I'll get to the range this evening to put first shots through it!
Just ordered my first Romulus, I've heard mainly great things about the pistol for the price and some not great things, it's my first 2011 and I've only ever been striker fired my entire shooting time. Any advice for this pistol would be amazing, any advice on upgrades would be amazing. I got the ported 3.5" barrel with ported slide. Initial feeling is that it feels awesome in the hand. I'll have it Friday to shoot. Thank you all in advance.
Probably been asked a million times so apologies if so. Are there any significant performace differences Between the 3.25 comped and 4.25 ported?
About to purchase my first 2k11 to Conceal which leads me to the second question, how much bigger is the overall footprint of the 4.25+comp compared to the smaller 2, is it negligible + worth the extra size? usually apendix carry or have a man bag. i will be sending it off for extra porting regardless of spec. TIA
The run and gun option.

What is out there for them? Triggers? Springs? Is the optics plate a common one that can be changed out?
What magazines work best in the gun? Glock 10rd 15rd? Shield Arms S15 mags? PSA Dagger mags?
Is there an optics plate that is just the optic and no rear sight?
Do 2011 safety's work or 1911 ones? Or is there an aftermarket Attila one? Also grip safety, maybe one that is pinned?
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!
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
Anyone have this issue with their RMR not fitting on the plate properly? Even with a rubber mallet it does not want to sink.
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.
Checked Alpha Foxtrots website for more mags but couldn’t find any. Where are you guys buying them?
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?
Well I tried
Optic flew off and smacked me in the face. Is there any specific size type of screws to utilize on this thing that’ll hold the optic in place?
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.
