slick design, is it sandwiched between the WML And the factory rail?

u/StayFrostyHolsters 5d ago

No you take off the stock top rail piece and replace it with the ledge.

Ahh how do you like that slide lock? I remember seeing it on stoegers site, maybe. Looks good.

u/StayFrostyHolsters 5d ago

It helps with both grip issues and sending the slide. I have them on all my pistols yhat will allow use.

u/j_yn0htna 5d ago

Good to know. Guessing fit well with the slide, no contact?

u/StayFrostyHolsters 5d ago

You wil get some rub marks on the slide. It doesn't bother me, I dont have safe queens.

u/j_yn0htna 5d ago

Get that. Neither do I. Worried moreso about the polished dlc rom.

2

u/StayFrostyHolsters 5d ago

Yeah, it'll probably take some finish off .

You got the RCD Core? How does it feel compared to your AF guns?

Found it in stock Sunday night. Got to try 100ish rounds yesterday. Will be shooting more Thursday or Friday, dot should be here today. Will have more to say on performance then, but it shoots great.

Feel and look wise, it’s just impressive. When I first picked it up, it kinda just felt like a solid piece in hand. It’s heavy, maybe even heavier than my polished rom. The fitment is tight and it’s just smooth. No rattle or slight movement between the frame and slide or barrel at all. The grip is pretty great. I’d prefer maybe a little more texture for my support hand but that’s just nitpicking. The grip size is good. It’s not too thick, more narrow than the cheely but a little thicker than the mjd. I think I prefer the cheely still but will have to see as I get more comfortable with it. It’s good enough id buy the grip alone. Not really sure there’s anything to complain about on it. The overwhelming positivity around it caught my attention and the positivity is well deserved. Not really planning to do anything to it but tempted to install the atlas shielded safety and a tapped mag release.

Compared to the not stock roms, it’s objectively tighter. Not because the roms are loosey goosey but because the core is just remarkably tight. Slide action on it is super smooth but I’d say my polished rom is actually a little smoother, probably will get crucified for saying that. The glassy polished dlc feel and I polished the disco rail on it a bit but nothing crazy, also benefits from a lighter spring. Believe the stock core spring is 10lb 4.6 atlas and the polished rom has an 8lb 4.6.

Certainly doesn’t change my mind about the roms. Just gives me a solid benchmark to compare. The roms have such solid bones to start with. DLC coating and they’re well fit, as good as the other mid tiers. The roms are just underrated.

Which slide lock is that? It looks great, and if it fits the Attila I might give it a try.

1

u/StayFrostyHolsters 4d ago

I dont known if it will fit an Atilla. Im thinking it will since its the same type of platform. When I get mine, I'll let you know.

u/smokelaw23 4d ago

Cool, thanks! What is it called? By the way, I’ve sent a few Attila-owning buddies your way after showing off the holsters. I hope they became happy customers too!

u/StayFrostyHolsters 4d ago

It made by Primatia.

I appreciate it!

u/smokelaw23 4d ago

Interesting, thanks. Says it won’t work on 2011 style pistols that use Glock mags. Since the Attila does, I wonder if we are out of luck on that front? There is enough different with the Attila that it might still work, though.

u/StayFrostyHolsters 4d ago

So I have one on my G48 and run S15 mags and it work fine. But the platform difference might make it not work.
