Did some research, as I'd never heard of that manufacturer before. What I found was that it is actually made by someone in the Phillipines and sold through Legacy Sports International, in the US. Couldn't find any reviews on anyone that had one though.

I had found these reviews earlier, and they are all good. I was just wondering if anyone here had one.

Thanks,

Your overdue for an introduction.

I would spend a couple hundred more dollars and get a Springfield, Kimber, Para, etc. Even if the Citadel turned out to be okay, the re-sale value is going to be better on a name brand firearm. You can get a Springfield Armory "Mil Spec" GI model for $550.

Let's link up at a Virginia gun show just for grins and giggles. I went to one in Hampton a couple of weekends ago, 500 tables. And they weren't squeezed in together with no walking isles either....

A co-worker has the standard size SA GI model. It is 100% reliable. I would go with the 4" over the 3" version. I believe the 5 inch standard size would be best. Reliability can suffer when you start chopping the barrel. I would google and see how many have been complaining about the shorter versions.
