NO 1911's comming to CMP

[Clark Howard]

As observed in the Obama administration, Federal law would be commonly ignored to further the interests of of the dems. They will destroy the 1911s, because they know that we want them. Regards, Clark

they are not worth a grand to me-rather have a Glock

All of us could have something else, and brand new at that. But the point is we bought these already, or our parents, or grandparents did. Keeping these out of our hands is nothing more than a political move. Who knows how the CMP might price these ?? And, by now most are mixmasters from trips to be rebuilt over the generations. We paid for that as well. Would I rather have a Glock, or a new Colt for that matter, as a service pistol yes. It would still be nice to have old 1911 military in a personal collection though. A politician keeping us from them just because they can pisses me off way more than the price ever could. The act of us not getting a chance at these is just another step along the gun control and ban road. What's next, a new assault rifle ban, high cap mags and what ever else they can to harass legitimate owners ?? This needs to stop here and now.

I carried several 1911A1's during my time in, the last being a US&S (which ser# I cannot remember or find anywhere!!!) and the thought infuriates me to no end that I could have to pay over $1,000 to get one when they are already paid for decades before. Now they will be bought up by dealers and high dollar collectors, when I believe the vets who carried them should have first choice, and at a very reasonable veterans price. DD214 should be all that is needed to buy one.

Gunny, +10 on the M-14 comment, these idiots who refer to them as M-1A's haven't a clue. Rifle Expert (M-14 & M-16A1).

Congratulations', think our group won the election, about time. My bet is now on the CMP getting these 1911's, and those M1 rifles and carbines setting in South Korea should be on their way here soon. Not a matter of if, just a question of when. And because of that, thinking the prices of the above should fall some due to a big increased supply. Second amendment preserved for now, along with the rest of them.

Don't hold you breath on these yet. These will once again have to go through the committee's then the appropriations bill, then if both the House and Senate agree on them being in the bill,(like last year) then they vote on the bill and pass it, then if the Army Secretary approves it then they can be sent to CMP. The way this bill was done means it has to be approved each and every year for these 1911 A1's to go to CMP and the law as far as I know allowing CMP to sell these has not yet been passed. Right now CMP cannot sell handguns unless the law is or has been changed. I do hope this does pass in Congress in this next budget but right now it's only extensions that congress is passing till the new Pres takes over.
