Spetnaz Soldier 47 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hey guys I got a deal on a Citadel 1911. I hear nothing but good things about these pistols. Does any body know anything about these bad boys. And I dont know much at all about the beautiful 1911's but do the barrels have feed ramps built into them or is it something else to help feed the ammo? (kind of a weird question i guess).

They are not the same gun as a Kimber or Colt. The metalurgy is different. Cast vs forged steel. Lots of MIM parts. Talk with a gunsmith who builds race guns or enhance the 1911 guns to shoot the 460 Roland. They have info on their websites that will let you know. (http://www.clarkcustomguns.com/rowland.htm#faq) That said, some are happy with them, but I would spend a little more money for a U.S. made 1911 made with better metalurgy.

mostholycerebus 415 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 RIAs have a better name, but seems like they are made in the same place. Lots of people very happy with them. I like the features you get on a Taurus, and my friends runs fine. I think even if you were unlucky and got a bad Taurus, and didnt realize in the first year when you get free shipping to their repair facility in Florida, it would still be cheaper to get it worked on and end up with a better gun. Keep in mind, 1911 owners are the only gun owners even MORE snobbish and stuck up than AR15 owners. They waste ridiculous amounts of money on them, then waste ridiculous amounts of time and energy defending that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbremount 0 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) You really can't get the same pistol for half the dollars in the 1911 game. You will pay same cost as everyone else. It's the way the free market works. I would always get a 1911 pistol with a forged slide and forged frame. Read this, it's full of info on the various makes. http://www.1911addicts.com/showthread.php?511-Buyer-s-guide-for-all-you-1911-addicts...
