I got an email this morning from CMP. It said the amended version of the NDAA passed house and Senate and is on its way to zero's desk for signature.

Could this actually happen?

Yes he has already said he will sign the bill. His sticking point had nothing to do with the 1911's.

PAA knowingly signing onto a bill that permits law-abiding American tax-payers to acquire firearms?....I'll believe it when I see it.

What he thinks he is doing is making the military weaker. It's not done until it's done.
And it won't be done after its signed. It's done when CMP puts them up for sale.

Getting my ducks in a row for when these become available.

So I just heard that BO signed this bill. Pretty surprising. I guess I need to get everything in place so I can maybe buy one if the prices are not totally insane. How long before we can expect them to start selling them? A year maybe?

Saving my pennies now. Gonna get as many as I can afford. If the price is reasonable.

Hold your horses, the bill says secretary MAY issue up to 10K a year. MAY and SHALL are two different animals, Barry and the boys have gone on record to say they oppose the release of these firearms to the public.

I'll be surprised if the release more than 100 and I bet they don't release any at all, at least I won't be surprised.

MAY and SHALL are most certainly two different thing as any Marylander can tell you.
I wouldn't hold my breath on this, it will be years before this happens. (If at all)

IIRC, there is a 12 gun/yr limit at the CMP. You may want to consider having the spousal unit apply for her FFL-03. (The original bill required the CMP 1911s delivery to go through FFLs).

JamesH · Nov 26, 2015

The bill that was signed requires the CMP to get its FFL01 and follow all normal FFL rules when selling the 1911s. If you live in a state with a CMP store, you should be able to buy one there. Otherwise, it sounds like it will have to ship to an FFL, including an FFL03 if the particular gun qualifies.

JHE1956 · Nov 26, 2015

I certainly could be wrong on this but I have read that the military stopped buying (with a few minor exceptions like Special Ops purchases) M1911s in 1946, and that one of the reasons for shifting to the M9 in the 80s was that the stock of rebuilt wartime 1911s was finally being depleted (i.e., frames wearing out). If this is true, then pretty much all of the 1911s should be C&R eligible.

JHE1956 · Nov 26, 2015

It will be interesting to see if CMP will ship directly to a C&R in Maryland.

dist1646 · Nov 26, 2015

This is probably going to require a second mortgage! :omg:

Or not!

That would be incredible if that happens. Saving up now.

I sure hope so. I don't want to have to get an HQL to get one.

Someone somewhere will find a way to screw this up for us.

The GA will pass a new 6 round magazine law or some such crap.

Or no handguns .45 caliber and over may be sold in Maryland.

That aside, it is exciting news.

Why did LR come to mind when I read your post? :innocent0

...but it ended on a good note.

Blacksmith101 · Nov 27, 2015

Don't forget the CMP has something like 200,000 customers so 10,000 guns won't go far.

Abulg1972 · Nov 27, 2015

There won't be any deals and the pistols will be mixed and beat up. This sounds great but I can't see anyone getting a wonderful piece of history out of this.
