Carry-ready performance with a modern, optic-capable slide. The Citadel Centurion CP9 pairs a compact 9mm Luger frame and 4" black steel barrel with an optic-ready, front/rear serrated steel slide for faster target acquisition and confident manipulations. A durable gray polymer frame and grip deliver a secure, all-weather purchase, while the 14+1 capacity balances concealability and shootability—perfect for EDC, home defense, and high-rep range days.
Why Choose the Citadel Centurion CP9 (Gray Frame)
Right-sized for EDC: The 4" barrel gives you a longer sight radius and smoother recoil than micro-compacts—without sacrificing concealability.
Optic-ready slide: Mount a micro red dot to speed up sight pictures and improve low-light performance (verify footprint/plate).
Steel where it counts: Black steel barrel and steel slide promote long service life and consistent lock-up for reliable accuracy.
Confident control: Aggressive slide serrations and a textured gray polymer frame help with press checks, overhand racks, and wet-weather control.
Carry more: 14+1 rounds of 9mm Luger reduce reloads and keep you prepared.
