CMP better hire some more staff....
ETA: Also, don't worry, they won't be used for service competition, or teaching youth how to shoot, etc. But my guess is they will line the tables at gunshows and the safes of lots of old men. |

CMP really has a great thing going on the M1, and I took advantage of the low price and great selection.
On these 1911's, I don't think they will be anywhere near a price I can afford. |

These are probably barely service grade weapons. Even if they are "New Old Stock" they are standard GI grade pistols. Other than some nostalgia and old school US machining, these aren't that much different than the RIA's. If they were so great why would there be entire industries around making them better? |

I had one in 1988 in Korea. It was a rattletrap. Shot out. Not accurate.

And a 1909 S vdb cent is just another penny that spends the same way.

There were 3.5 million M1 Garands made. Not all survived the war or returned to the US, but the CMP has sold many, with more flooding the shelves as they are assembled. There were 2.7 million M1911 A1s made, but only 108,000 or so making it to CMP, maybe. This is the going rate for some of the more authentic US 1911's existing. CMP has never really gone nuts with their prices, but I'm just curious as to what they would charge.. |

Wasn't there a law, rule, regulation or something that prohibited CMP from selling handguns?

Doubtful I will be able to participate, given California's draconian laws regarding handgun purchases.
If I were allowed to and if pricing is somewhat sane, I would buy one for sure. |

I was able to se first hand some of the 8,000 pistols sold to LE a few years ago through the surplus program. They ranged from good to excellent with a number of rarer makers in the mix.
I'd love to try and get one if they come available, but I will bet they will be priced high. |

Holy mega derp. Your logic has blown my mind. It actually provides the best possible argument against the rest of your drivel. Literally every single other firearm from that period has become completely obsolete because they are not great. The 1911 is the only firearm out of hundreds from the era still being produced, and that there are entire industries around making them better is simply a testament to how good they are. I'm not a 1911 guy, and don't even own one, but the sheer volume of fail in that post compelled to have to say something. |
