Alpha Foxtrot AF1911 Romulus 9mm 4.25" Pistol

Alpha Foxtrot chambers the AF1911 Romulus in 9mm Luger behind a 4.25" barrel. Most shooters already know whether the 1911 suits them, and the answer usually comes down to the trigger. A single action 1911 moves the trigger straight to the rear against the sear with none of the take up a striker gun carries, and that is the reason the pattern refuses to go away after more than a century in production.

The 4.25" barrel is the middle size in the 1911 world. It gives up a little from the 5" guns and picks up a shorter slide that clears a holster faster and hides better under a jacket. Chambered in 9mm rather than 45 ACP, the Romulus is light on recoil and easy to shoot in volume, which is what most people actually want out of a gun that has to work on the range and on the belt. Alpha Foxtrot builds the Romulus as part of its AF1911 line. Aftermarket support for the pattern is deep, so sights, grips, and leather are not hard to source.
