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.
