Compact 1911 Citadel Report

[doc540]

cliffs

Didn't need much cleaning

DID need lubing

Put 125 rnds thru it this morning.

Cycled Gold Dot HP's like a little champ

Shot low, but adjusted quickly

A LOT of gun for $450.

Congrats! Those Citadels have a big fan following and great reviews in addition to being quite pretty.

Where did you get this beaut? I know they sell it at Academy for 500.

Thanks in advance!

I'm jealous... you picked up this and the LC9 at the same time?

yessir, I did.

Also have a Springfield Micro and a Colt Officers on the way.

Eventually only two of the four will remain on active duty.

Nice blaster - it's good to see decent sights on a compact model

They sure would work better for me if they had some kind of color on them, any colors besides just matte black.

What other colors would you prefer? It's either stainless, blue finish, or both. Would you rather have like a blue or red gun?

Here's some options if so..

doc, you have options - - - the easiest/cheapest is to paint them - - - They look like Novak sights I have a sight pusher - - - let's change them.

Thanks!

Sad fact is they look like Novak dovetails, but they ain't.

If I keep it, I'll end up painting them.

Nail polish on the front sight works pretty good.

I don't know why i was thinking about the pistol colour itself. :)

I'm looking to get that pistol at Academy, but seeing great deals on it online.

I was considering this or the ATX FX45. If anyone has any feedback on that one, I'd appreciate it.

I can't afford a Springer or Kimber at the moment. Looks like I'm gonna have to get rid of my 226 for a pistol I can actually shoot.

Thanks in advance. Cheers!

I have been looking at the FX45 on Aimsurplus.com and they have good pricing, but I can not find any reviews either.

The Citadel looks like a good little gun. Are the sights similar to the cut of the Taurus 1911 you think?
