Citadel M-1911 Government 45 Black Pistol
The Citadel M-1911 Government 45 is a full-size, 1911-pattern semi-automatic pistol chambered in 45 ACP. This Government configuration combines a 5-inch barrel with a steel frame and slide, black Parkerized finish, and contrasting wood grip panels.
The pistol uses a detachable eight-round magazine, providing a total listed capacity of 8+1 when a cartridge is chambered. Its overall length is approximately 8.87 inches, while the unloaded weight is about 36.8 ounces.
Traditional Single-Action Operation
The Citadel M-1911 operates with a single-action, recoil-operated system. Its hammer must be cocked before the trigger can release it. The pistol incorporates a manual thumb safety and an extended beavertail grip safety as part of its traditional 1911-style control arrangement.
This Black Pistol also features a skeletonized hammer and trigger, an extended slide stop, and a lowered and flared ejection port. The Series 70-style firing system follows a relatively traditional internal 1911 configuration.
Full-Size Steel Construction
The Citadel M-1911 Government 45 is manufactured using 4140 ordnance steel. Its full-size frame and five-inch barrel follow the standard Government-length format. Front and rear slide serrations provide textured surfaces for routine slide manipulation and inspection.
Fixed sights maintain a straightforward sighting arrangement. Wood grip panels add visual contrast to the black frame and slide while preserving the classic appearance associated with the M1911 platform.
Owners should read the manufacturer’s manual before handling this firearm. Particular attention should be given to the correct operation of its thumb safety, grip safety, slide stop, magazine release, and single-action trigger.
