Re: CMP 1911
CTD explained it to have a few requirements more than normal to get one. Nevertheless I want one.

I'll be in line too. Despite the crazy process.

Re: CMP 1911
I'll definitely be in for at least one. No big deal having it transferred to an FFL 01, 02 or 07 if you ask me.
Here's the latest information on the CMP website.

Re: CMP 1911
To each his own I guess. I have a nice CMP Garand but I will not jump through all of the hoops put in place on the 1911's. I know a bunch of guys will, and they will sell out, but I wont be one of them. I wont pay full retail on anything, especially for a sight unseen pistol of questionable condition. Just my two cents.

Re: CMP 1911
From the CMP info, looks like the Army only transferred 8,000 for FY2018. They also said that grading and inspections won’t start until their new building is completed and approved. Construction is expected to take sixty days. Looks like the earliest the 1911s will be available will be sometime this summer.
Re: CMP 1911
Getting closer and closer. I can't wait to send my order in and see if I make the cut!

Re: CMP 1911
I'm glad I have a few months to decide whether to try and get one of these or not. I think I probably will try for one! How about you guys?

I don’t qualify and I’m afraid my new paychecks won’t either.

Re: CMP 1911
My extra pay is stopping for a spell. I can't get one this yr., I think the info I read was $850----$1100 for field and rack grade. I'd probably get another service grade Garand for $750 and forget about the 1911.

I will leave those to you guys. I never even chased after women that hard.

From the pics I saw they are well used and heavily refinished

Re: CMP 1911
CMP has started to take the info needed to purchase a1911. I believe it runs into September. Then there will be a lottery style drawing to see who gets to buy one.

Re: CMP 1911
For what they will go for I would rather buy one from a private collector, pay a bit more & know what I'm getting. A luck of the draw lottery? No thanks.

The application is available now, however it can not be received by the CMP before September 4th or after October 4th, 2018.Rowdy1 wrote:CMP has started to take the info needed to purchase a1911.

Re: CMP 1911
I think I will pass .Good luck to all those looking to get one.
Re: CMP 1911
Anyone think these will hurt the value of comparable pistols in circulation already?

Re: CMP 1911
I have no interest in something at that cost that I can not choose for myself.
