Wife told me today she ordered me a Citadel 1911compact for Christmas. It doesn't look like it will be here before Christmas though. she ordered through Palmetto State Armory when they were offering free shipping around the begin of December. I have got 300 rounds of WWB 230gr. FMJ ready to break it in. She also got me a set of Pachmayer signature grips for it. Can't wait for it to arrive.

May not be in your hands by Christmas, but you are lucky two ways!  Got a good woman and one who will buy you a handgun.  And getting the pistol.  Hope you enjoy the Citadel.  I looked at one the other day and it really felt good in my hands.

Congrats on your new 1911! Palmetto is really backed up right now but hopefully you will see the pistol soon.

I will try to put some pics up tomorrow. I have about 75 rounds through it so far with only a couple of hickups. one of them being an out of spec slide stop. It won't hold open on the last shot.

Try a different magazine.

Ditto, what mags are you using? I like the Chip McCormick ones, always run without a hiccup.

Finally got around to posting a pic. I have been sick for quite a while now, but better late than never I guess. I am using the ACT mags that came with it. I am pretty sure that the slide stop is the problem. I finally found some demensions for the protrusion on the inside that catches the mag follower to hold open the slide and it seems that mine is about 25 thousandths to short. It will work one out of every ten magazines. I just need to get off my lazy ass and call the Armscor guys in Nevada and get a replacement.
