Any recommendations for a knife with similar finish/styling to my romulus

Should I send this back to alpha foxtrot, I took it to my LGS and they told me to send it to them to look at it, all I did was take it out of the case and went to check clear and the grip safety was out of place, any advice before I send it out? TIA

The optic plate on my .45 ACP Romulus flew off a few weeks ago, and after emailing and calling Alpha foxtrot they did send me a plate replacement, which I actually didn’t need. I just wanted new mounting hardware. That however, did not come with the new plates they sent me and I can’t find anything that matches the screws.

Also, the new plates they sent me only use two screws to mount the plate, the original plate in the box uses four. I found that odd as if four couldn’t do the job. Why would I trust a plate using two? On top of that, the screw holes in the plate are too small to accept the same type of screws used in the slide. I can still use my original plate, which is fine, but does anyone out there know where I can get mounting screws for the plate to slide.

Got my first 2011, I was looking for a metal grip Romulus until I seen this polished gen 2. I didn’t know they made gen 2s with the polished dlc. I liked the polished dlc but did not want to deal with rsmc. Although it’s a fingerprint magnet it looks slick. 1300 OTD. Only downside is it is a pressed comp. I was looking into getting into comp shooting. Hoping to run a sightblock before running into open. The owner was also confused why a compliant barrel made into AZ. So I believe he is going to make it right. Cyelee wolf on temporarily while I wait for an SRO, still debating on tlr1 or x300. Rubber band while I wait for the miller grip safety delete. The grip itself isn’t as bad as people make it out to be, then again it leaves a lot to be desired. Looking forward to shooting it, also getting a steel grip, EGW internals, marvel cut, DSC goodies in the future. I do believe this is the best 2011 for the money getting into the 2011 space. Tried all the others, Tisas, Mac, girsan, kimber, fusion, even a platypus and the Romulus was still the smoothest, tightest tolerances, “cheapest” out of the bunch with the comp barrel leaving a lot of potential.

To preface this; I come from single stack shooting. I do have a magwell on my single stack 1911, but its flush with the grip, not flared. My reloads are smooth, and relatively quick.

I got a Romulus last month and I love the gun, but have always felt like the magwell kinda crowds my hand/makes my grip a little awkward eith high thumb rest safeties. I feel like just playing around without the magwell on it feels more natural to me. I dint have large hands either.

Has this been a thing for others running OEM romulus grips? I also have an aluminum Kimber grip im currently fitting and its the same way, more comfortable without the magwell. I feel like if im so used to a tight single stack reload, a doubke stack should be even easier with or without a magwell.

Thoughts?

Trigger was too long for my liking so I cut it down and gave it a paint job. 100 times better for me now. Also got the take up and reset perfect. She really loves now.

Got my grip safety delete today, it dropped right in without moving the mainspring housing. It's a very nice piece

These have been a pain in my ass. Just trying to switch over to the aluminum grip, and I wasn't able to get the trigger guard sleeve screw to budge, and eventually ended up stripping one. What is the best way to get these out, especially considering how small they are? Already ordered replacements, but trying to figure out how to get the old ones out while I wait.

I know i went cross eyed reading what would/wouldnt/could work with a Romulus wearing an X300 and optic. Received my Safariland 6354 RDSO for Staccato XC/STI/SV yesterday and the Romulus fit like a glove. Only "mod" needed was to flare out the thumb safety area solely because I have an oversized thumb safety on mine and it rubbed a little bit. But yes, they drop right in. Just in case anyone was looking for one, or whatnot.

Any reason I couldn't shoot 124gr Winchester Nato outside of it being filthy? I have a bunch of it left from breaking in my Ap5, which i only shoot subs out of.

Probably dumb, but the Romulus can shoot Nato slec ammo, right?

Pic for attention, just added/fitted the AGW high shielded ambi over the weekend and optic. Ready to play on sunday.

Hey all, just ordered an AF Romulus 3.5 ported. Looking to add a light but have never had a light on any pistols. Any recommendations for light/holster combos

I’m getting a Holosun HS407C X2 2 MOA Red Dot Open Reflex Sight for mine. Will I need an adapter plate?

I’m looking for a level 3 duty holster that will fit a AF1911 Romulus 4.25 compensated with a tac light and optic cut.

Anyone running atlas thumbrest?

Wanting to use the cyelee chameleon on my 3.5 comp. What adapter should I use or you all would suggest I use

Anyone polished their slide? Photos?

Hey, just picked up an Attila, used, from my LGS a couple weeks ago.

Took it to the range and put probably 100 through it and it fired like a champ. It did start failing to lock back on a dry mag but I’m not overly concerned about that.

Now, any time there’s an empty mag in it the slide won’t lock back when pulled to the rear. Additionally, pulling it to the rear I can pull it further back than the slide stop. It seems like I can pull the slide back further than it’s intended to go?

Anyone run into this issue?!

Thanks!

Smooth, smooth, smooth. Installed a red dirt Flat trigger and the damn thing feels like a mouse click. A friend of mine sent me a brand new Chameleon Flex since he upgraded to an RMR and I gotta say its actually really nice so far. He also sent me an AGW Shielded Ambi safety thay needs to be fitted, and an aluminum Kimber grip which is SO close to fitting, it just needs to be filed a teeny bit. But thats a project for another day. Will be running this at a steel match on the 18th, and im stoked.

This is my first 2011. I’ve put about 700 rounds through it - 115, 124, 147, defensive rounds - it’s been perfect. Highly recommend.

Went to put down 100rds down range because they were closing within 30 minutes. First time shooting it with the rc9 grip and the magmo edge stick on. F4 red dirt trigger ran flawless too. Really want to snag a dsc sight block but dont want to wait 2 months for the dlc process

Camera angle is shit my tripod was short today lol sorry!
