- This is my second 1911 from the CMP The CMP has allowed a member to buy a second 1911 in the 4th round of selling the 1911"s It's a service grade. The finish on this one was not as good as my first one. I sent my packet in on September 2nd 2023 and got the pistol back on February 2nd 2024
I'm waiting for the call in Round 4 (RGN 47272). In Round 3 I received a service grade 1943 Remington Rand with a G.I. slide (Colt National Match Hard slide) a 1985 barrel and a few mix master parts. All of the roll marks and inspection initials are there and legible. The Army Ordnance crossed canons has a "MR" over strike from the Mount Rainier Arsenal, but the canons are partially visible. All in all I am very pleased with the one I have. It shoots very well and I haven't had any failures. I'm a USAF MSgt ret ('73-'95) and served as Security Policeman, armorer, ABGD. Crossed trained from SPs into Operations Management where I was assigned to fighter squadrons and had many opportunities for travel. I also served as First Sergeant. I commend the CMP for their work and making these great pieces of military history available. Nicely done.
It's perfect! It didn't sit around and rot, it was used. Therefore, you know it will work. 👍
I agree, with you on the grading process. My service grade had a rack number on the grip which looks like they miss graded it. And it also has replacement parts, thumb safety, grip safety, and slide lock are darker. The lower frame scratched the barrel slide on the right side the first time I took it to the range.
I have a round 3 and its my most cherish firearm. The history of these is really something.
As always, the CMP is a fantastic opportunity to get affordable milsurps.
CMP's grading is definitely all over the place. I believe you hit the lottery with yours! I would be over the moon with a matching colt slice and frame! And with the amount of wear it has just makes it perfect! I cannot wait to put in for round 5!
That's a pretty nice 1911, very nice that it has no pitting. I paid $650 for my 1st service grade Garand in 2012, $1,000 for my Service Special Garand about 3 years ago, and $900 for my 03A3 about 3 years ago...those prices make me cry lol...wish I had gotten into collecting much earlier. Still kicking myself in the butt for not getting a M1 Carbine years ago...Thank you very much for sharing sir.
Congrats on a nice pistol Rusty! Appreciate you showing us. Nice to see those old catalogues too. Great deals on the Mossbergs! Take care.
Nice. I’m looking for the 5th round so I can try to get my second one.
Pistol looks great 👍, scratch from putting the pin back in 😬CMP way to go 😁👍🇺🇸
I'm waiting on my first 1911 from the CMP, I put in late October, so I'll be another 6 months or so. Hopefully, service grades will still be available then, I just got into the CMP last year so its super cool to see those old catelogs!
always great content Sir
Good Evening Rusty. First of all thanks for all the help with HL. Secondly, if you would like a Spanish copy (at least cosmetically) of a 1911 style pistol to go with your 1911a1, James just told me that they have a few Star Model A's and B's in stock. Just thought I would mention it to you as they are unlisted and I wanted to share. Great video and take care!
The CMP never knew how long this program was going to be. So they started off with the best guns first. So now in rd 4 , theres a definite difference in condition. As I understand it to be. I just got my rd 4 all Colt. Same grade , very similar condition... Its just what I wanted....
Very nice Colt. Thank you for sharing a little about the rifles in your collection and CMP pricing glory days past. My Round 4 RGN is coming up soon, and I'm struggling to decide on which grade to request. I wonder if later round pistols are being graded higher than earlier rounds. CMP did say they pulled best condition pistols first from Army inventory because they did not know how long the CMP 1911 program would last.
Thanks RUSTY that is a good one ant 1911 is good.
So you got 2: Colts in 2 tries. That's amazing. I don't think I'm going to be that lucky. I'll find out in a day or two
I’d prefer a 1911 from the CMP with a lot of wear and use on it. That goes to prove the pistol was heavily used. I don’t want a mint condition re parkerized 1911 that’s been sitting in cosmolene since the early 1950s.
I dig it. At some point I'm going to do a review of a Norinco 1911 I picked up last year.
I got one in round 3, but they only had the worst grade left when I was called, but then later they had more grades. Can't wait until round 5.
