CMP 1911

[dreadpirate]

I'd say that CMP sales are pretty low on the new administration's agenda. It will probably be a year or so before the import restrictions are lifted. The current 1911's approved for sale will probably be auction only.

Auction only? Wow!

Auction only? Wow!

Considering how they are doing things, this shouldnt surprise anyone.

Don Jr. is a CMP competitor, so the 1911 thing is at least on his radar. Since President-elect Trump seems to use his sons to gauge gun community mood, we might see something happen.

Auction only? Wow!

I believe they only got 10,000 and on first come basis they would be sold out in day or two. They have something like 250,000 customers and some years ago before the .22 cartridge shortage started they sold over 2,000 cases (that is ten bricks per case) in less than a day. The recent sale of M1 Carbines is another example, gone in two days.

Here is an official update on the status of the 1911's from the CMP web site:

10/15/16 An update on the 1911’s…

The CMP is NOT authorized to receive or disburse the 1911s at this point. We have not yet received the approval required from the Secretary of the Army by the legislation.

Thank you,
Mark Johnson
Chief Operating Officer

Many of the AGC ( www.associatedgunclubs.org) clubs are CMP affiliated as is MD State Rifle and Pistol Association ( www.msrpa.org ). You will need to belong to a CMP affiliated organization to make a purchase.

Like another poster stated, many belong to Garand Collectors Society.

Question: Is the Garand Collectors Society a CMP affiliate, so that I can make a CMP purchase? Isn't it the one that many go to for that purpose?
Thanks!

Thanks! Can one use anything military like a DD214 (active duty + reserves) to satisfy the membership requirement?
