Citadel 1911 Full Size 8+1 9mm 5"
[CIT9MMFSP]

Date Added: Sunday 16 November, 2014

Nice gun, great deal. Got it yesterday, put 150 rounds thru it. Two fail-to-feed, both with hollow points, which I expected. Fed all my loads and all factory loads I fed it, if they were round nose. It actually also fed my plated hp (target hollow points, not self-defense expanding hollow points, so they're much more rounded) with no issues. Stock sights are set reasonably well, but need to be painted or something. Plan on some sort of sight upgrade if you buy this.

Has a lot of "upgrade" features- beavertailed grip safety, skeletonized trigger and hammer, checkered mainspring housing (good grippy checkering!), Novak sights, full length guide rod, flared ejection port... Trigger pull is nice for a stock gun. The mags are cheap, but gave me no issues so far (though one appears to angle the rounds up more than the other).

I was looking for something I could take and shoot to have fun with (not my race 1911 or my carry gun), and this is definitely it. I'm extremely pleased. Service from Bud's was fast (ordered Monday night, it got to my FFL Friday).

I hope I'm not jinxing it with this review this early, but I couldn't be more pleased.
