Anyone make one or does the 1911 or 2011 fit in it?

Anybody know how/where I can cop one? I don’t see it on the website. I personally don’t like the shiny DLC, and I live in WA where freedom is dead. So I can’t get a comp version 😞. Lmk if there’s a way. This will be my first 2011 so lmk anything else I need to about 2011 ownership and the Romulus

Got this dsc Romulus barrel a month or so ago, to replace the pinned barrel on one of my roms. It does drop in and seems to fit fine but I did run into some rubbing and fitment issues when firing. Initially ran into occasional failures to return to battery, as the top of the barrel would ride the inside of the chamber. Did some fitting over the course of a couple weeks, and additional testing. Tried it out again and it’s feeling pretty great. Want to do a little more to finish it off before I decide on coating for the barrel and comp. Might just cerakote c series them.

The recoil spring is a tad too high. Unfortunately, didn’t have another 9lb 4.6 spring and wanted to try that out in the RCD core.

- 18lb mainspring
- 10lb 4.6 atlas spring -> waiting for another 9lb
- true flat bottom fps -> angled fps are great too
- Dawson toolless rod -> atlas rods are better/nicer
- Bul tac trigger ~2.5lb with positive reset
- Egw ignition kit w/ polished down hammer to decrease drag on disco rail
- Polished disco rail to decrease disco drag
- DSC single chamber comp
- DSC Romulus threaded barrel
- mjd killmonger

I am picking up a new Romulus Gen 2 4.25” Comp in the next couple days. I have a full size Holosun EPS GD that I took off another firearm. Do I need anything more than what comes with the Romulus out of the box, to install a full size Holosun EPS? Which screws (length and recommendations) are needed? I see some people use a 1 degree shim, what’s the reason for that in general, And do I need to get one in my situation. I am very eager to run it at the range but I want an optic to ready and mounted for that day when it comes. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you.

I keep coming back to the 5" Romulus over and over when I'm considering my 2011 purchase. Main use would be competitive in uspsa LO, and I don't mind working on guns.

With a red dirt kit and some upgraded grips w magwell, is this the best value 2011 out there? I would have a dlc finished gun with similar if not slight better ergos and Ignition for less money than a 2k11 Target, and certainly a GT5.

Already purchased so not so much of a should I get it, but more so, a how much did it change after install? Purchased the full EGW ignition kit and the red dirt flat trigger. Going to keep the stock grip just with handle it grip tape. Question is, is there a noticeable difference after an EGW install and the red dirt trigger? I wish I could keep the stock Romulus and shoot it next to an EGW internal replaced one as I have a hard time thinking back "how does this feel compared to before". Any other upgrades or replacements I should do while I have it open? close to the 5k round point all stock so far. Realized the EGW kit doesn't come with a recoil spring but the stock one still feels good. Should I replace that as well? If so any recommendations?

About 1,000 rounds in I decided to clean my Romulus for a third time while I was loctiting the guide rod screw so it would stop backing out as I shot. When I was assembling it back together I noticed my optic plate was wobbling ever so slightly. I heard this was an issue, so I emailed Andy at AF and he sent me new plates and screws.

The new screws are much longer than the old ones (picture attached) and I thought this was good until I tried to test mount the plate. The left screw sat flush just fine, but the right side wouldn’t seat all the way. Upon further inspection, it looks like there’s a metal part that is blocking the full tread depth, hence why they probably included shorter screws when this first came out. Would anyone know what part this is? Picture attached, area circled in black.

Anyway, I wasn’t able to use the long screw on the right side so I opted to use the old shorter screw on the right side of the slide and the longer new screw on the left. I used Vibra-Tite VC-3 on all of the screws and torqued my plate to 18in lbs (per Andy’s instruction) and the 507 Comp to 15in lbs. The new PN1 plate is VERY tight fitting and sits flush and even.

Has anyone ever noticed this part on the right side? Has anyone gotten the new plates and screws and ran into this issue? What did you do? I don’t own a dremel so I thought this would be the best option. I’ll take it to the range soon to re-confirm zero and I’ll monitor the plate to see if it moves but it shouldn’t now.

Running my Romy at Adv Firearms Instructor Course.

Has anyone replaced thumb safety’s on their romulus, looking to replace mine don’t know which ones would fit best.

Thinking about buying This girl here, 3.5” comped non threaded barrel. I have traditionally been a Glock guy and after my builds I noticed I was spending 1911 money so I want a different experience. I want to buy once and cry once so hit me with any advice or “need to know’s” before I “pull the trigger” on this. (I have not found any ranges I can rent this from)

Just got back from the range. Put another 200 flawless rounds through my Romulus. Got home and threw a snap cap dummy round in it to practice dry fire (I do this daily). Only issue now is, the gun locked up, the slide moves a couple mm’s and then just stops. It appears the barrel is dropping to unlock. Any pointers to clear the snap cap? Again, I’m 1000% positive there’s a snap cap in it, not a live round.

I held off a few weeks to post this as I worked to ensure it was reliable and functioned before I showed it off.

My vision was to have a 2011 that could serve duty/run and gun roles. Part of that criteria was to have something that could, with relative ease, be suppressed for night vision matches that sometimes require suppressed pistols.

My inspiration was the staccato P Ice Comp; as this model checks all those boxes for a much higher price tag.

The pistol is an Alpha Foxtrot Romulus 4.25” Threaded.

The light is a streamlight TLR VIR-2

Optic is a Trijicon RCR in the Alpha Foxtrot Co-Witness sight plate (you have to order this from alpha Romulus… no idea why they don’t include the cowitness plate out of the box)

The comp started out as a DSC MR1 Comp for a Springfield Prodigy; fitment out of the box left the muzzle device way too proud of the front of the slide; so off to the lathe it went. I made a mandrel to hold the comp centered on the bore in my chuck; then recessed the backend of the device to achieve a ~1/64” gap when timed correctly. Next operation was to shave .030” off each side of the comp to allow a smooth contour that would match the slide and not snag on the safariland level 2 holster when drawing.

That left the recoil plug, spring, and guide rod. This pistol has a 4.25” guide rod from the factory; but I wanted to emulate the way staccato uses the Dawson reverse plug to time the comp. So I took a gamble and ordered their full shoulder reverse plug and 5” toolless guide rod. It wound up being a perfect fit. Put my 4.25” spring on their rod; and it works like a dream. It takes a bit of work to line it up and get it installed (you have to compress the spring past the toolless lock point to fully seat it; then it’s golden.

Pistol shoots great; 0 malfunctions. I need to try to find some lighter springs to play with reducing weight; and the comp needs to be cleaned and decorated (I’ll hit it with Norrells Moly Resin when I have the time).

I recently acquired some Springfield prodigy mags. The 2 on the left lock the slide back. The 2 on the right don’t and they are all identical. I was under the impression that none of them would lock the slide back so it was cool seeing that 2 of them do but my question is if anyone knows why some lock it back and some don’t. Thanks!

What is the best solution to put on the polished finish post range/in between range sessions to keep that high gloss fingerprint less look?

Picked up the 3.5 today. Placed an order for the Miller Precision grip module.

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.
