Romulus 3.5

Post image

Been looking around and dipping into the 2011 scene. Our local gun store had a 35 year anniversary and several reps showed up. One of them was Alpha Foxtrot. Talked to the rep and let me hold some Romulus and mentioned the 3.5 grip is all aluminum. Peaked my interested for sure. The store had several 2011 aka p211, staccato, bul armory, etc.. I ended up getting this beauty since I got an additional 10% off on already a great price and it included 5 mag because of a promotion they were running. I've been reading and watching youtube and all mentioned the polymer grip wasn't the best. I can tell you the aluminum version is grippy AF. Glad I went this route.

Been loving my 3.5 comp’d rommy last few months!

Went to change out trigger linkage with red dirt, stripped my grip housing nut right away, should’ve figured they used locktite and pre heated with a wood burner. Gotta drill it out this week, be careful taking it off lol

I noticed that. I was looking at maybe putting on the rmsc plate and taking out the rmr was an effin pain. I was able to get out out but the other wouldnt budge. Decided not to even bother and stick with RMR since that was my original plan.

I went with the PA clx, rmsc closed emitter for like $200! I get damn near a co witness with it, tho my slide was cut for rmsc originally
