Let's see that comparison!! I'm interested in that Romulus!!! Already getting the XP pro now I want an affordable 5 inch comp gun that has everything, looks sweet, i want to see how that comp works.

[@MajorHavocGunTalk]

For the average street price of 1600 beans, it's a good value. I wish it had RMR footprint. I put EPS 6moa green.. does great. Grip safety was stiff , I will pin it or swap grip... Comp does not have a big single expansion chamber like XC or Apache. It has 3 ports .. I think it would be a bit better with more gas escaping.. did 3 rd test today and another 200 rounds no issue.. 500 rounds total so far with 100% reliability..

When’s the next video? Would love to learn more and see some comparisons. Going against the Watchtower kinda makes it tough to compare to much less but I feel price wise this is Prodigy comp level and then maybe Platypus but they don’t have a comp , but maybe a P or BUL TAC Pro. Ironically, the Sig Reserve is similar with the barrel and comp along with being DLC coated. I didn’t think it shot very well but for 3x the price, could be a fun comparison. Keep up the great work!

@@SkipsGunz so, factually speaking, your statement in the video is false? MIM is not bad if used in appropriate ways. But, tool steel IS better.

[@charitybull]

when I purchased the Alpha Foxtrot S15 I had such high hopes, but I was quickly let down by the terrible ergos. Between the grip safety and the very uncomfortable frame safety the gun pinches in all the wrong places. Is it accurate, sure, I mean they all are for the most part. Is it the right size for a carry DS 1911 definitely.... BUT, do I want to shoot it... NO. The quality, fit and finish are what you would expect from a budget DS 1911, not great but not bad either, and the value would be there if it were remotely comfortable to shoot, which again.... it isn't. This new gun might be great but I have a hard time buying from any company that I have had a bad experience with.

[@DazdnCofuzd]

I've watched some reviews of this and everyone seems to like it overall. I like to see you shoot it stock before you dazzle it up some or mess with the eternals. Now gotta decide if I want Romulus, Bul Armory EDC Pro or XP Pro. Ready to see ya put it through it's paces.

You didnt mention anything about if it was tuned nice out of the box. Usually you mention you did tune it as well.
