Our most anticipated pistol is almost ready for launch. We have put over 5,000 rounds through our first prototype and are extremely happy with it. This is a very flat-shooting pistol with balanced recoil and a smooth, house-made trigger. It will accept most common-use double-stack 1911 magazines. The DLC coating is shiny and easy to clean while maintaining a smooth, lubricious appearance and exceptional durability at contact points. Please check out our website to read about the motivation behind the Romulus 1911 double stack. This pistol is 100% made in the USA, with over 99% of the fabrication done in Duluth, Georgia.
