    hello;

    have a citadel compact 9mm with 2k rounds fired through pistol.

    noticed on the frame, below where the barrel feed ramp fits to frame is either a slight hairline crack or a flaw in the casting, @.065" long.

    located just left of center, part of magazine follower the engages slide release points to part of frame in question.

    is there any way to tell the difference?

    thx for any input.

    are you the original owner? 2k rounds, you must have cleaned it quite a few times. Just wondering when you noticed the area of concern? Find some stick pics and compare to yours.

    Even with pictures, something that small will go unnoticed. It's best to call the manufacturer and ask what to do.
