CMP 1911

[TheBoss930]

When are the 1911's supposed to drop from the CMP? Is it going to be hard to get one?

Ive tried researching and didn't find much. Thanks

10/15/16 An update on the 1911’s
…
The CMP is NOT authorized to receive or disburse the 1911s at this point. We have not yet received the approval required from the Secretary of the Army by the legislation.
Thank you,

Not the greatest of information. Hope one day soon they will get them and be able to sell.

That's not what I wanted to see . Beat up ,mix master what ever I just want one

I think they will get them in time. I'm guessing they will run the full range from well used mix masters to nice matching pieces.
I have a couple GI 1911's that I've considered selling before the CMP releases theirs.

Wonder if the outcome of the election will have any impact?

Hopefully it will make them easier to get.

Would be nice for trump to allow this!

With a Trump win its almost certain we will see these released.

 

[citizenkane]

The legislation is already in place. All that's needed is the secretary of the army to release them. I would assume whomever Trump appoints will do this.

I dunno. I think he's a wildcard. He doesnt appear to be pro gun per se as much as neutral. But I hope I'm wrong. I hope he is open minded and surrounded by enough pro folks that he does good things. Yes, he carried a gun, but lots of anti gunners also own them.

IF he does it, it will be couched from a business perspective; There is money to be made selling off crap that is just sitting in a .gov warehouse taking up space. You think he'd let his companies sit on millions of dollars of inventory that hundreds of thousands of customers are chomping at the bit to buy? "Im authorizing the sale of 1911s. When done we are going to sell that warehouse or lease it out to make even more revenue to reduce the debt because its the right thing to do fiscally."

I think best case scenario, it is at least a two or three years down the road. The CMP will have to train armors, tool facilities, establish inspection and grading procedures and implement the inspection and grading.

I also have the impression that they will be market priced and not the bargin the M1s are. The CMP is about their education, training and competition. The firearms sale is only a means to that end. After watching the resale folks profiting on the bargain M1 prices, I would hope the CMP would price the resellers out of the game this go around.

All that said, SURE...I'll grab one or two if I get the chance! But, I also won't pass up a deal on a collectable 1911 on the conventional market in the mean time.
