My buddy was in the army around Vietnam. He says that he remembers shaking those 1911s and hearing them rattle like Moroccos
And sell for an insane amount due to auction frenzy.
Hopefully there will be enough that they judge to be lower non-auction quality.
I missed the last Kimber target rifle at CMP by less than a week.
People were reselling the Kimbers on Gunbroker at a profit while CMP still had them in stock.

Well, the first time I tried firing a Navy issue, WWII vintage 1911 for record, in 1984, I had 3 stovepipes in 30 rounds.
At the time, were you a new pistol shooter? The two prime causes of stovepipes is limp-wristing and a bad extractor. I can see a USGI pistol not having it's extractor replaced since WWII.
The LAV has written a few articles about this. He initially began gunsmithing the 1911 because of problems encountered on the old USGI 1911s he was being issued. Many had never had a part replaced in 40 years of service.
This is a maintenance issue, not a 1911 issue.

They have pretty good lawyers and are pro 2A so I think if they can, they will. No MD law so far would prevent this.
But I too saw where it said MAY so it ain't gonna happen while O'Bozo is still there.

It's possible, but the Army doesn't want to keep these warehoused indefinitely, so it may happen even if the White House would somewhat prefer it didn't. (After all, if it weren't for this issue, it's likely BHO would never have even heard of CMP.). Hopefully, as long as it doesn't create much press, it won't be that big an issue. And it helps a little with the balance sheet.
The military is weird. They'll have everything from bare frames that have been in a fire, to million round guns that have been rebuilt several times, to pristine, untouched pistols.
It'll be interesting to see what 90,000 new pistols on the market will do to current pricing. Probably not much change because sales will be spaced out over a decade and the interest in 1911s is enormous and cuts across many subcategories of gun nut.

I had been shooting a 9mm for 8 years. This admittedly was my first experience with a 1911.

For those of you who get delivery.gov emails about navy ADT opportunities, one came up just now that would appear to be related to this thread.

When I went to shoot for qual in 84, I had the choice of 1911, S&W Model 10 (might have actually been old Victory models) or the Ruger Security 6 (The Navy had bought then in the early 80s to fill a handgun shortage -- they were also the standard NIS {NCIS predecessor} issue at the time). By 89, almost all had been replaced with M9s (except NIS, who were carrying SIGs).
