Century Centurion Cia Hg9402N 11 45A 5" 8Rd

The Century Centurion CIA .45 ACP is a single-action 1911-pattern pistol built on time-tested design principles. With its 5-inch barrel and 8+1 round capacity, this full-size .45 delivers the stopping power and ergonomics that have made the platform a favorite among shooters for over a century. Whether you're training at the range, competing in practical pistol sports, or carrying for personal defense, the Centurion CIA offers solid performance in a classic package.

The gun is built with a traditional GI-style profile—clean lines, no frills, and proven reliability. The slide and barrel are forged from 4140 steel, a material known for durability and longevity. The single-action trigger breaks at 5.5 pounds, familiar and predictable for shooters already trained on the platform. At 35.5 ounces unloaded and measuring 8.6 inches in overall length, it balances substantial heft with practical carry proportions. The 5.31-inch height and 1.37-inch width keep it manageable in the hand and holster.

This is a straightforward, no-nonsense .45 that doesn't ask you to pay for features you don't need or want. If you value simplicity, proven design, and American-made steel, the Century Centurion CIA deserves a serious look.
