Quoted:
same as rock island, made in same shop ect, not bad. Lifetime warranty, not to mention my Rock Tactical has 0 malf (other then mag issues...cheapo crap) and is running rock solid. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another. The citadel are souped up Tacticals as far as I know. Personally, I like the wider serrations on them versus the a1 style on my tac. |

I was looking to build a budget 'tactical' until I ran across these guns.
They look nice from ones I've handled, but until somebody runs out with a T&E gun they slammed 2k rounds through, just lubing for every 500 I won't say 'reliable' but a decent gun for a range toy for sure with lots of potential to add aftermarket parts for reliability. |

This is My Citadel Compact 1911 which is basically the same dimensions as a Colt Officers model with 3.5 inch barrel. It comes with a lowered and flared ejection port, extended beaver tail grip safety, skelatized trigger (which I stripped the finish off to get the look in this picture, skelatized combat hammer, Novak style sights (adjustable rear for windage), and two excellent quality 7 round italian made mags (ACT-Mecgar). They tear down great and are just as solid and reliable as my chips and wilson mags. The sights are one color no dots but I found that I shoot them better than my high profile sights on my Springer and M & P in daylight of course! I found the high profile dots on my other guns to be a little busy but these sights could be a problem at night. The Citadel feels and looks excellent and at the range I shoot it the best, after several hundreds of rounds I have made this my carry gun. I really love it because it's a great balance between weight and power. I have dealt with Armscor in Nevada, Arnel and Ivan and I can tell you they are hands down the nicest most helpful folks I have dealt with, even when I was a pain. I can't say enough about this 1911 or Armscor/Rock Island Armory, if you decide to get one you won't be dissapointed! They make a reliable no nonsense 1911 and that's what you want and need when the SHTF.
