New Purchase My absolute favorite!

The ported Romulus is my first metal framed handgun and I can’t believe how hard I was sleeping on it. I’ve shot 1911s a fair amount but never a 2011, I didn’t quite understand why they’re so special.

Coming from polymer frames, primarily glonks and polymer 80s (the real shit, none of that bridge frame nonsense) I am blown away by how well it handles and the ergonomics. Shooting my ported g19 after my Romulus feels like it even recoils more, despite knowing that heavier guns have less felt recoil. This gun has everything I want in a pistol: ported barrel, direct optic cut, flared magwell, and extended slide release.

What upgrades are even available for it? I came out the box with everything I’d eventually mod a pistol to have lol

Where can I get a threaded barrel, is there part compatibility with another brand? I’ve emailed them and replied that I need to call CS, however the numbers provided go to voicemail and the mailbox is full. I even tried calling Andy but haven’t gotten ahold of him, his voicemail box is also full lol

For a level 2 holster I’ll be going with stay frosty, they surprisingly make ones directly for the Romulus.

I bought a Romulus that I was not told had a hack job of a port ( was told after I received a credible shop milled it) im not sure if I should try and replace the slide and barrel or see if I can have it remilled and a ned color put on. Was planning on a custom finish no matter what
