The M1911A1 CS format delivers compact 1911 handling with an Officer-size 3.5 in barrel and a slim single-stack profile. Dimensions are well-suited to carry at 7.19 in overall length, 5.07 in height, and 1.30 in width. Chambered in 9mm Luger, it offers a 7+1 capacity with single-action-only operation.
Controls and safety features follow the classic pattern with a grip safety and a left-side manual thumb safety. The front strap is smooth. The slide uses angled rear serrations only for a clean presentation and consistent manipulation.
Sighting is straightforward with fixed, low-profile dovetailed front and rear units. A skeletonized commander-style hammer and a skeletonized three-hole trigger with a serrated face complete the driving controls, supporting a crisp single-action trigger press.
Manufactured by Armscor in the Philippines for Citadel, this pistol carries model markings ("M1911A1 CS" on the frame, "CITADEL" on the slide) and "CAL. 9MM" on the chamber hood. Import stamp reads "APINTL – PAHRUMP NV PHILIPPINES." Distribution in the U.S. is by Legacy Sports International.
