The Alpha Foxtrot Attila’s Frame Inserts Are Pinned

I posted a 5-6 minute video that shows that Alpha Foxtrot has reinforced the frame inserts on the Attila. I noticed that they pinned it not long after I bought it, but hadn’t looked at the pinning until now. Here’s the video.

This is good news and is also somewhat important to know, as it shows that Alpha Foxtrot is aware of issues and are trying to fix them.

Quick Update on the Alpha Foxtrot Attila Experience

So far, the experience has been surprisingly uneventful.

I’m at 702 rounds – a couple of range visits and I should be crossing over 1000 rounds!

I practiced doubles tonight, at 5 and 7 yards. The groupings were good. Was starting from low ready (indoor range, no timer). The gun is controllable. There wasn’t as much issue with Glock knuckle this go-around, but I only shot 105 rounds through the gun during this range visit, as I also shot the Kuna and AK-V.

I also shot it at longer distances this range visit, trying to test accuracy. While I can hit decently at range, the groupings are wider than, say, when I do the same with my XP Pro (which is a bigger gun).

The optic hasn’t moved since attaching it.

I’m actually carrying it now, too. It carries well. I’m using the Tenicor Certum and Velo4 when carrying it. I’ll eventually use the QVO More Discreet with the Attila.

Alpha Foxtrot S15 vs Alpha Foxtrot Attila At 10 Yards

I’ve a quick video of a comparison shoot between the AF-S15 and the AF Attila.

Note that I’m aware that this isn’t a fair comparison, as one gun isn’t optics-read and the other has an optic (that will greatly affect shooting results, as you can see here).

This was at 10 yards. That’s not a long distance but I’m shooting at small targets. The S15’s hits are on the left and the Attila’s hits are on the right. There’s 15 shots per target.

I’m able to shoot the Attila faster and be more accurate, mainly due to the optic, but probably really due to a culmination of new updates that the Attila has that my particular S15 doesn’t. The results might differ if I had an optic-ready S15.
