I just picked one up this year, 2023. I’d definitely buy another. Hopefully next year.

Went rack. 1943 Colt frame Ithaca slide. Couple of dings but no complaints from me. Put 150 rds through it with zero issues.

If you got it in before they closed Round 3, you are good.

But also, any first-time purchaser can put in for Round 4 right now!

It is.  Which is why any first-time purchaser can put in a packet now.  Someone who has already sent in a packet/made a purchase is only eligible for their second if they bought their 1911 in 2022 or earlier.

My Rack from last year.  Ithaca/RR:



From the CMP forums I learned that this weapon was sent to the the Benicia Arsenal (Army Point, CA) in June of '45.  From another member here, I learned that the slide markings indicate 1st Battalion, 143rd Field Artillery, Headquarters & Headquarter Battery.  So based on that unit's history, it possibly spent some time in Korea during the early 50's.


I have exactly ZERO need for another one - but my packet is complete and this time I wanna take a stab at a Service.

I'm in as well. I took a gamble on a Field Grade and got an overly pitted and parked over turd. Definitely going for a SG this time.

Very sorry to hear you got screwed.

I pointed out in one of the other threads on this topic, that the occurrence you describe is not at all uncommon. I was dog-piled for saying it.

Have we seen anyone comparing the various grades from each round?

There were some rack grades I remember from the first round that looked better than service grades in the third.

CMP's grading seems mercurial.

I'm curious when CMP will start issuing RGNs for Round 4. They just shut down Round 3 entries at the end of August, and were up in the 41K number range for RGNs IIRC, not including those last-minute applicants.

I just sent in a packet today for another M1911. Now the wait begins.

Last time (Round 2), I got my RGN about 6 weeks after submitting my application. My RGN was called almost exactly one year later. However, I think Round 3 went much faster, so hopefully Round 4 will as well. It will be interesting to see what percentage of Round 4 is repeat buyers vs new ones, but CMP will probably keep that to themselves. JMHO.

If I were them, I think I'd cut off Round 4 for repeat purchasers at the end of September, and then go in the original RGN order.

I can't say I *hope* they do that, as a 2022 Round 3 purchaser, but that's how I'd do it.

Round 4 is open 1 Sep through 30 Sep 2023. I think it is the shortest so far.

Round 4 is open 1 Sep through 30 Sep 2023. I think it is the shortest so far.

It may be, but IIRC Round 3 was originally scheduled for 1 month only, and was then extended.  The interesting thing this time is that we now have first time buyers overlapping with second time buyers.  Effectively, Round 3 went on for a year, and as far as first time buyers are concerned, Round 4 right now is just a continuation of Round 3.

I'm curious to see if they cut all orders off at the end of September; cut off only 2nd time buyer orders, but keep accepting first time buyers; or allow both first and second time buyers to keep sending in orders the way they extended Round 3.

42073 for me

Assuming no major delays probably get a call around FEB/MAR timeframe I'd assume.  If it happens sooner cool but I'm not gonna get my hopes up for any sooner than end of 1st QTR FY 24

I still think the "random generated number" thing is BS. Based one what I've seen across 3 rounds of 1911s it's first in first out.

Lowest Round 4 RGN is 415XX
Highest posted Round 3 RGN I saw was 404XX

So Round 4 started somewhere between those.

My buddy and I got ours in round 1.

He sent his in so late he had to drive down to the 24-hour post office at the Tampa airport to get in under the post-mark cut-off.

I sent mine in on day one.

His RGN was 1118, mine was 2764.

I was ready to send my 2nd packet but the water tank blew up.

Then the daughter unit needed school supplies.

Oh well, if they open the 4th round and continue it again, I will gather funds up.

My 2nd round was a 1940 Colt/ on RR slide.

Sure wish to still find a Colt slide for 1940 period, it would be nice.

You saw the extension? You earliest you'd have to pony up would be end of November, or you could have until the middle of next year depending on your RGN. If you're short when you get the call all you have to do is pass...get that packet in!

Due to technical issues with our system, we have discovered that some emails announcing Round 4 and website postings, did not go out as they should have. Therefore in order to allow everyone that would like to submit a 1911 order packet, we have extended the deadline by 30 days, order packets must be postmarked by 31 OCT. 2023.

You must have been an early Round 3 (2022), because there was something about receiving one in 2023 (still Round 3 for most of the year) that made a buyer ineligible.
