*NO MAG INCLUDED* The Citadel M1911-A1 in .45 ACP with a 3.5-inch barrel and 7-round magazine capacity is a compact, Officer-size 1911 pistol that captures the timeless appeal of John Moses Browning's classic design in a more concealable package, making it an excellent choice for everyday carry, backup duty, or those who prefer the proven stopping power of the .45 ACP in a smaller footprint. Manufactured by Armscor (often under the Citadel branding via Legacy Sports International) with a forged steel compact frame and slide finished in matte black Parkerized or similar durable coating, it weighs around 33-34 ounces unloaded for manageable recoil despite the short barrel, delivering an overall length of about 7.5 inches that's easy to hide under clothing. It features a Series 70-style firing system, skeletonized hammer and trigger for a crisp single-action pull, extended beavertail grip safety, lowered and flared ejection port, Novak-style combat sights, full-length guide rod, bushingless barrel, and positive grip safety-plus two included 7-round magazines. This budget-friendly 1911 offers reliable performance, solid build quality for the price, and the iconic ergonomics and accuracy that 1911 fans love, though its shorter slide and barrel demand good technique to tame the stout .45 recoil; it's a practical, no-frills entry into the 1911 world for concealed carry enthusiasts seeking classic firepower without premium pricing.
