DESCRIPTION
The Crusader Compact is a well-built defensive handgun with forged steel parts and quality assembly….an excellent gun for the money. The pistol is of the “Officer’s Model” size, having a shorter butt and wearing a 3.65 inch barrel. The Crusader Compact is finished in a business-like matte Parkerized finish. It has a bushingless slide with a coned barrel for a good slide to barrel fit. It has a single spring over a steel guide rod recoil spring system.
This is no stripped-down basic pistol. The Crusader Compact has an excellent set of steel Novak-style combat sights that are very easy to see, and offer a good sight picture for target work. They are dovetailed into the slide, and the rear sight has a set screw to loosen to make windage adjustments. Another feature usually found only on more expensive pistols is the beavertail grip safety and skeletonized Commander-style hammer. The feed ramp is polished, and the barrel is throated to feed hollowpoint ammunition.
The trigger is a good-looking partially skeletonized unit, with a crisp trigger pull that feels lighter than its measured five and one-half pounds. The short magazine still holds seven rounds, for a loaded capacity of eight, and has a base pad for positive insertion into the slightly beveled magazine well.
SPECIFICATIONS
3.5” barrel; Parkerized finish; Novak Sights; Extended Thumb Safety; Beavertail Grip Safety; Beveled Mag Well; Extended Magazine Base Pad.
