06/29/17 An update on the 1911’s…
Congressman Rogers’ amendment passed late last night with the FY2018
National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The legislation will now move
to the House floor and go to the Senate. Read more at https://mikerogers.house.gov/press-release/rogers-ndaa-good-east-alabama. The CMP has no further information at this time.
Thank you,

From Cong. Rogers' site:
The amendment would compel the Army to release M1911A1 pistols to the
CMP. Transferring these vintage pistols to the CMP would allow them to
inspect, grade, prepare for sale and sell these pistols. The CMP would
reimburse the Army for costs associated with the transferring of the
pistols. CMP South, headquartered in Anniston, Alabama, oversees sales.
Similar language has been in the last two NDAAs, but the previous Obama
Administration would not allow the Army to deliver the pistols to the
CMP for political reasons.
Sigh...it looks like yet more of my money will be flying out the door. But it will be nice to get one from the pool that I carried back when.
