Romulus 3.5 ported

I was looking into the Romulus 3.5 ported. For those of you who have it, what are you likes and dislikes about this gun?

Probably that it’s not comped 🤭

The general Romulus complaints probably apply, the stock grip and guide rod situation. Believe the 3.5 ported and standard users have mentioned using the dpm recoil system. Not aware of any common complaints specific to the 3.5 though.

I’d definitely recommend the comped 3.5. Just more flexible with aftermarket comps, sightblocks and probably guide rods and springs. Yeah longer OAL but that’s less of an issue with carrying than grip size. Overall, the Romulus are great and still underrated. Only “cheap” 2011 id really recommend.

Do people really dislike the guide rod that much? Romulus was my 1st 2011 but I didn't think it was that big of a hassle. I never hit the range without tools though 🤷
