The new for 2019 Citadel Defense Auto 12-gauge (often abbreviated to just CDA-12) semi-auto shotgun comes in two different flavors: Citadel Defense Auto and Citadel Defense Auto Force.

The base Citadel Defense Auto has a matte-black polymer stock, curved grip, blade sight in front, and a Picatinny rail under the magazine tube that starts at the base of the magazine cap. The focus of this gun is its 20” long barrel. There is an important pair of threes in the specification: the chamber is 3” and magazine capacity is 3. Therefore, the gun’s capacity is 3+1, length of pull is 14.5, overall length is 40” and weight comes in at 7.3 pounds. For safety, there is a triangular cross-bolt safety just behind the trigger. In back is a nicely absorbent thick black rubber recoil pad, and the gun comes with an MC-1 choke.

The Citadel Defense Auto Force is an upgrade that adds a taller raised tactical front sight, a Picatinny rail above the receiver, to which is affixed a Ghost Ring sight, and a three-finger contour pistol grip. Weight is less, falling to 6.8 pounds. Length rises barely to 41”. Otherwise the specifications are the same as the aforementioned standard Citadel Defense Auto shotgun.

The Citadel CDA semi-automatic 12-gauge shotguns are Made in Turkey and imported by Legacy Sports International.
