Citadel CIT45FSP M1911 45 ACP | 5″ Barrel | 8+1

The Citadel CIT45FSP is a full-size M1911 Government-style semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP with a 5″ barrel. It uses forged steel components and 4140 ordnance steel machining with hand-fitting for traditional 1911 fit and finish. The pistol features a black Cerakote steel frame with beavertail, a black serrated steel slide, a stainless steel 5″ barrel, and wood grips. For mounting a red-dot for faster sight acquisition, a compact optic such as a Trijicon RMR Type 2 (available under $1000) pairs well with this platform.
