Citadel Centurion CP9 — Compact 9mm, 14+1, 4" Black Steel Barrel, Black Optic-Ready Serrated Slide, Bronze Polymer Frame (CITCP9BNZ • UPC 682146897265)

Compact footprint, full-capacity confidence—now with a head-turning bronze polymer frame. The Citadel Centurion CP9 blends everyday-carry practicality with modern features: a 4" black steel barrel, a black optic-ready steel slide with front/rear serrations, and a durable bronze polymer frame and grip that offers secure traction without bulk. With 14+1 rounds of 9mm Luger, the CP9 balances concealability, shootability, and value for concealed carry, home defense, and high-rep range sessions.

Why Choose the Citadel Centurion CP9 (Bronze Frame)

  • Right-sized control: The 4" barrel delivers a longer sight radius and smoother recoil than micro-compacts while remaining easy to conceal.

  • Optic-ready advantage: The black steel slide ships cut for a micro red dot (verify footprint/plate), speeding target acquisition and low-light sighting.

  • Steel where it matters: Black steel barrel and slide maintain lock-up integrity and long service life.

  • Confident grip: The bronze polymer frame features texturing that enhances purchase with sweat or gloves and adds a distinctive, premium look.

  • Capacity that matters: 14+1 rounds reduce reloads and boost confidence when it counts.

Ownership Tips

  1. Choose your optic: Confirm footprint/plate and torque specs; re-check zero after a 200–300-round shakedown.

  2. Pick the right holster: Use an optic-compatible, CP9-molded holster with secure retention and safe reholstering.

  3. Zero & validate: For dots, start with a 10–15 yd defensive zero; confirm at 5/25/50 yds.

  4. Ammo testing: Prove reliability with a full magazine of your preferred defensive load and compare POI vs. practice ammo.

  5. Maintenance rhythm: Keep slide rails and barrel hood lightly lubricated; periodically verify optic screw torque.
