I bought this to go with my milspec tisas. this gun was a disappointment. it does not do anything as well as the tisas. will not shoot wad cutters and will not function for crap with old surplus mags like the tisas. traded it for a keltec sub 2000 gen 2.

I've had this for just over 2 years. It has proven itself to be very reliable, even after 5000 rounds. I plan on getting another in the near future. It's a great value for the amount of pistol you get. Very nice.

For the price this has been the best .45 1911 I have fired. It is smooth accurate and easy on the grip. The sights are very easy to acquire with the help of a little white paint and were dead on at purchase. Have shot over 700 rounds of 230 gr. and have h

Well I received it in a timely manner. No delays whatsoever. The fit and finish is fantastic I can’t complain about anything. So far I’ve put 250 rounds through it and I haven’t had any issues with reliability but it shot a little to the left which wasn’t

While in Kentucky, I drove to Bus's Gun Shop looking for a Bodyguard 38 or 380. I was assisted by Ashley. I looked at several weapons and decided to buy the Citadel 1911. Ashley said since I was a non-resident I would have to have it sent to my FFL in Mic

It took some time for me to get my gun after I ordered it. Well worth the wait. Had to clean it real good due to all the shipping lube. Shoots like a dream. Why pay $800 or more for a Kimber, this gun preforms as well as a Kimber but for hundreds of dolla

Picked this 1911 up from my FFL today, all i can say is the pictures don't really do it justice. It does come in a decent case with 2 mags which is nice. it comes drenched in storage grease and needs a good cleaning before shooting "to remove the grease a

I got it on special for $467. Fast shipping once ACH cleared. That takes 5 days. Firearm is made well. VERY impressed. Trigger is black. Picture shows silver. FFL dealer was also impressed with the 1911. He said "its made better than other 1911 I sell".

Nice handgun. The manual is vague regarding disassembly, so find a video and you'll be okay.

Came smothered in grease. cleaned and noticed scratches and blemishes on slide and barrel covered by grease. Wood Handles nicer than anticipated. 2 mags is a nice bonus. It fires relatively well but is not marksman quality. My hipoint still the most accur

I bought this for my wife after shooting many other people's 1911's. We have taken it to 2 different range sessions for a total of around 500 rounds so far. The only thing it won't fire is Russian Brown bear other than that I was surprised how it shot 230

Not a bad pistol, for the price. All-in-all it's a nice piece. The magazines are less then stellar though. Out of the box, the weapon jammed on the last shot, every time, both mags. Adding extra-power springs to the mags fixed the problem. The extractor i

When I received the pistol had a sear spring problem. After I broke the pistol down and found that the sear spring was not adjusted right and the pistol was not put together very well, I fixed the problem. That's why you get what you buy.

Fullsize, beavertail grip, very reliable for over 800 rounds. Replaced springs after 800 rounds for routine maintenance and optimum tuning. Feeds hollow-points just fine.
