Alpha Foxtrot AF1911 Romulus 9mm 3.5" Pistol

The AF1911 Romulus in 9mm Luger with a 3.5" barrel is the short end of Alpha Foxtrot's 1911 line. Cutting the barrel and slide to that length pulls weight off the front of the gun and shortens the whole package, which is what makes a 1911 workable inside the waistband. The 1911 grip is already thin front to back compared with most modern service pistols, so the pattern conceals well for its size.

Nothing about the trigger changes with the shorter barrel. The single action press is the reason people keep buying this design, and it is the same press whether the slide is 5" or 3.5". Nine millimeter is the practical chambering in a short 1911: recoil stays manageable, and ammunition is common enough that regular range time is realistic. The 3.5" barrel is also what separates this model from the 4.25" Romulus guns in the same family, so it is the option to pick when size is the deciding factor. Sights, grip panels, and holsters cut for 1911s cover this size class well, so setting the gun up the way you want it is straightforward.
