Ok well you rock on with your rattle can 1911. I?ll shoot something good. But if you want history buy a Old loose as snot 1911. I?m not gonna argue with you bailey. Some know what the goods are and others argue.

I get that, for sure. They might not be for everyone.
But to call these guns "beat up" and priced at a "premium" and a waste of taxpayer money to be sold by CMP is a stretch to say the least. Especially since no one outside of a few people at CMP have even seen them.
I'll most likely throw my hat, and money, into the ring for a service grade gun and see what happens. In my experience of buying several CMP Garands the rating criteria has always sounded far worse than the guns actually are. Every Garand I've received has been far better than the grading description would lead you to believe.

+1 CMP has always had a under-promise over-deliver mindset. $1050 for a service grade USGI 1911? Where are they being sold for less? Because y’all should buy them enmass. I’d be willing to bet that the service grade pistols are going to be immaculate. Not perfect nor corrrect but good collectors. Espically when the low end price for a USGI 1911 is about $1100 for a shot out gun with little to no park left.
But as Bailey said, please tell your friends how shitty they are and discourage them.
Also taxes will be used to transfer these to the cmp or put them in captain crunch. At least this way the CMP will use the profits to do something with I forget what they do, probably something stupid...
Or maybe not...The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is a national organization dedicated to training and educating U. S. citizens in responsible uses of firearms and airguns through gun safety training, marksmanship training and competitions.
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Haw haw haw?..
On second thought, you guys go ahead and trash on the CMP 1911s. Talk as many people out of buying them as you can. Post negative stuff about them on all forums you frequent. Tell your friends and neighbors to stay away from these overpriced, over-hyped guns.

Exactly. The more money they raise, the sooner they build another CMP Shooting Park. Win-Win.
Got a nice phone call this morning. At first, I was annoyed to get a call at 6 AM then I recognized the 256 area code. Sure enough, it was the CMP calling me before I went in to work. They found my packet (which I had thought was lost in the mail, turns out I sent it to the wrong CMP address) and were letting me know I was one of the lucky individuals selected to order one this year. They wanted to know what grade I wanted (service grade of course) and cautioned me that the order might be processed tomorrow, it might be processed next week, it might take 3 months. I told Tracy I was just happy to be having that phone call. Can't wait to see what war veteran I get ...
CMP emailed me this morning to let me know it was going out via overnight FEDEX today. Will make a point of heading over to Whistling Pines tomorrow afternoon to pick it up ...
