This video reviews the Legacy Sports Citadel 1911 Compact, a 1911 pistol designed for concealed carry. The review highlights its shorter slide, 3.5-inch barrel, and shorter grip, making it more manageable for concealed carry than a full-size government model. It weighs 32 ounces, features a forged barrel and frame for recoil control, and has checkered wood grips for a secure hold. The pistol uses a 6-round magazine but accepts standard 1911 magazines, allowing for an 8+1 capacity with an extended magazine. It incorporates three safeties: a frame-mounted thumb safety, a grip safety, and a Series 70-style firing pin safety. The reviewer found it easy to handle and enjoyable to shoot.
