The Tac Six 10846 Citadel QD Quick Detach Picatinny Rail Mount delivers rapid attachment and removal capabilities for tactical accessories while maintaining zero retention. This professional-grade mounting solution eliminates the need for tools during setup changes, allowing operators to quickly reconfigure their equipment in the field.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional fixed mounts, the Citadel QD system incorporates a spring-loaded quick detach mechanism that locks securely into position with audible confirmation. The mount maintains consistent return-to-zero performance across multiple attachment cycles, outperforming standard thumb screw systems that can loosen under recoil. Military-grade construction ensures reliable operation in temperatures from -40°F to 160°F.
Key Features
- Quick detach lever system with positive lock engagement
- MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail compatibility with secure clamping
- Type III hard anodized aluminum construction for corrosion resistance
- Return-to-zero accuracy within 0.25 MOA after reattachment
- Low profile design adds minimal height to optic mounting
- Ambidextrous operation suitable for left and right-handed users
- No-tools required installation and removal process
Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across thousands of attachment cycles without degradation in lock-up or accuracy. The mount withstands heavy recoil from magnum calibers and maintains zero through extreme temperature variations. Law enforcement and competitive shooters rely on this system for rapid transitions between different shooting scenarios while preserving sight alignment.
