Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Alpha Foxtrot Romulus a notable 2011 pistol?

The Alpha Foxtrot Romulus is considered an underrated 2011 due to its factory features like an undercut grip, flared mag well, and a particularly well-placed extended slide release, which enhances operational efficiency.

What safety features are present on the Alpha Foxtrot Romulus?

The pistol includes both a passive grip safety, which must be depressed by the shooter's hand to allow firing, and an ambidextrous manual safety lever for external control of the firearm's readiness.
