I was on the CMP site today and saw that they’re still doing 1911 sales. I know many were down on this some years back due to the hoops that had to be jumped through and the likelihood of junk.
I know you can get a nice GI style colt for around what the CMP ones cost, and other brands/styles for less. But of course, from the parts bin or not, the CMP ones are real GI. Look for GI 1911 pistols on gunbroker and you can definitely be over $2k easily, or much more.
Of course you could get a mixed parts rattletrap. I suspect the nicer ones go to auction.
Still, I shoot my M1917 revolver. I don’t see how a CMP 1911 wouldn’t at least be a shootable 1911…
Regardless, Im more curious if anyone jumped through the hoops, and if so, how they made out…
