Features 

The single-action trigger gives a clean, consistent pull, which helps with shot-to-shot accuracy. Fixed GI sights are straightforward for target acquisition at practical distances. The blued finish resists wear and corrosion. Black polymer grips keep the pistol lighter than wood alternatives and maintain grip under sweat or moisture. 
 
At 35.5 oz. with a 5-inch barrel, it follows standard full-size 1911 dimensions. The 8+1 capacity is typical for the platform.

Owners of the Century Arms Centurion 11 .45 ACP generally discuss it as a reliable range and self-defense pistol that punches at its price point. Feeding and cycling consistency come up favorably in most reviews, along with accuracy that holds up well for a pistol in this category.

Build quality gets positive marks, with most describing the materials as solid. The occasional comment notes that some internal parts feel less finished than higher-end 1911s, which is expected given the price difference.

Ergonomics opinions split by hand size and grip preference. Some shooters find it comfortable over long sessions; others feel the grip could be better shaped for extended use. Overall the design is standard 1911, so preferences already established with the platform translate directly.

Value for money is a consistent theme in a positive direction. Buyers looking for a .45 ACP 1911 without spending on a premium brand tend to find the Centurion 11 meets the basic requirements. Aesthetics get mixed reactions, with some liking the blued/polymer look and others finding it utilitarian compared to other pistols in the class.

Century Arms customer service comes up occasionally, with a mix of smooth support interactions and reports of slower resolution times.
