I got an e-mail from CMP this morning. They're selling 1911s again. 馃槃
A few changes in the rules. No more "Rounds" of sales. No more Random Generated Numbers. Its first come, first served until they're gone. Still a lifetime limit of two per customer, but you can order two at the same time if you want.聽
Prices went up a little, but its still a bargain.聽馃槈

Thanks for heads up on this. I just heard from the SMGCA show in Knoxville sales would be happening soon. I don't have all the requirements to get one but I'd gladly take anyones extra if they don't want to own 2 馃檪

I'm asking for an umbrella of mercy if this is a stupid question. I'm not a 1911 guy, so I confess my ignorance up front.

What does a $1300 1911 from CMP offer over a $1300 used 1911?

A 1911 manufactured for and issued to the various branches of the US military.聽 These are genuine USGI.

The U.S. hasn't purchased any new 1911s since the end of WW II. Almost all the guns in inventory have been rebuilt at least once and some several times. They aren't perfect, but they are serviceable. Each gun has been inspected and repaired as needed to meet military specs. These guns were in storage to be issued to U.S. troops if needed. This is the real thing. A U.S. military issue pistol.聽

Back in the late 1970 I worked in a machine shop that had a lot of military contracts, one of them was making 1911 slides for colt, for the military, so spare parts I would guess. The ones that didn鈥檛 pass military spec were sold to the civilian market.

Which CMP affiliated club do you guys recommend to join??

Most all gun clubs are NRA affiliates which are recognized by CMP.聽

I don't know if it works for the pistols, but rifles can be bought by simply joining the Garand Collectors Association on line. A simple call should find out. If you do, let us know.聽

The GCA is who I used in all of my CMP purchases.聽 Very easy.聽聽
