CMP 1911

hmmm.... 3% chance the president will sign this.
Especially in light of recent events.
But stranger things have happened!

 

[CasualObserver]

It's attached to the NDAA which I believe the President has already said he plans to veto.

 

[Mendozaco]

Mike Rogers for President!

There is always hope

 

[somd_mustangs]

... and change!

If this ever goes thru, I will max out on my yearly limit.

Obama, our hero, our fuhrer, always has our best interests in mind.

Im sure he will sign this with a smile, knowing how many collectors, sportsmen, and Patriots he will be helping out.

I missed my chance to buy $64 Garands back in the 70's. I missed my chance to buy an M16 for $695 in '81. If this goes through, I'll be camping out in Bama three days before they go on sale - with a phone placing online orders while I'm in line.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to sign it. It just needs to go to his desk while he's sunbathing in Denmark and Congress remains in session.

10 days and BINGO!

here are pictures of two recent government 1911's

and

notice the cut slides, modern sights, lowered ejection ports.

Many of these no longer look like issued pistols. There are a bunch of unissued but you know those will go to auction.

Don't expect deals....

Like I said in another thread regarding this topic.

Dave, thanks for the pics and showing the "other type" 1911 USGI stuff such as that Springfield Inc gun, and yes, Springer was doin' some for the US and rebuilds too. So boys and girls, don't expect any deals on these (WWII and earlier original guns) if they become available as they will almost certainly go to auction and will sell for ridiculous prices.

 

[Drmsparks]

I'm still going to buy one, after all it's got USGI Sandbox era provenience and it reminds me of the pistols on my sub (although those were still USGI, I wonder if this includes Navy pistols or just Army).

It'll fit my collection of modern guns. My best guess price will be mid level 1911 (more than a Rock Island, less then a Kimber).

CMP Special Garands are beautiful, almost like new rifles with 60 year old receivers.

I would expect no less for their 1911s.

The bargain field grade rifles are definitely battle worn, but still decent shooters.

 

[toolness1]

I just don't see this happening. Remember, the libs consider this "thousands of untraceable handguns hitting the market with no background checks"

Not true, but that's what they are going with, and that's what the media will spout

The irony is that even if it were true, which it isn't, these valuable prized possessions will be going into the hands of a very small segment of "the market," as they put it -- responsible, avid collectors, shooters, and history afficionados who would no sooner allow them to be put to use in street crime than the owner of a restored '65 Mustang would use it to make weekend trash hauls to the dump.

These extremists have unrealistic views, conjured up by fear and imagination.

For the well used modern 1911 types, I'd suspect you're somewhat right Dave, but the originals from back when (WWII & earlier) will be $$$$ at auction, see my post below.

Top picture is a Springfield Armory Inc POS, NOT USGI. Issued pistols will be sold, just like the ones I watched get the hot axe. They will be deals compared to what people are paying now, just like the M1's.

I'll buy whatever my funds allow.

 

[Blacksmith101]

The libs will never let it happen, they will all be junk, the prices will be to high, they will all go to auction, so you might as well just ignore any guns the CMP has or may get. Please don't bother yourselves with the CMP, Please!

 

[BigDaddy]

There is an executive order just waiting to be signed to prevent this from happening.

I wouldn't call a MEUSOC .45 built by PWS a POS. The frame is from no later than 1945. And I suspect these are not the variety that could end up with CMP. I agree that non-mixmaster all original 1911A1s would be sold at auction, but I would still get in line for a legit army refurb.
