The Citadel CP9 Compact delivers reliable performance in a compact striker-fired platform designed for concealed carry and duty applications. This 9mm pistol combines a lightweight bronze polymer frame with professional-grade features at an accessible price point. The optic-ready slide configuration allows immediate mounting of popular red dot sights without gunsmithing.
What Makes This Different
The CP9 Compact features a serrated steel slide with pre-cut optic mounting points, eliminating the need for custom machining work that typically costs $150-300. The bronze polymer frame provides enhanced grip texture while maintaining a lightweight profile that reduces carry fatigue. The 4-inch barrel length strikes an optimal balance between concealability and velocity retention, delivering approximately 50 fps more than subcompact alternatives.Key Features
