If you have any questions give me a holler, as i have more info regarding these, as i have had some dealings with them from work, and have more info to be shared......hehe.

    I can tell you that if you are considering buying one, get in on the first batch, as all the condition code "A" guns that the Army had were transferred to the CMP in this first batch. The other branches still have their 1911's, but as of now the Army pistols are the only ones that are being transferred.
    Thank you for clarifying for me

    I'll admit, I was interested in getting one but then I saw the price tags for what I consider "less than ideal" wear and opted out.
    There will be tons of orders from old duffers who don't get on computers and Internet forums

    OK, I MUST ADMIT i PAID CMP $1,050 and received a 1911A1. It is a Colt A1 based on serial number, made in1945 and has the ordnance final inspection mark of John S. Begley, J.S.B. I am of mixed feeling about it however. Its service grade and has been completely rebuild, has a great trigger pull, is solid with little slide play and the frame marking are still sharp and outstanding. The barrel is an HS and looks new and the other parts are fine.

    The cons are it is refinished. it a great refinish and if my memory serves me right has the same refinish that the 45s we were passing out to the Arvins in 65 but I was a bit disappointed ii did not show some honest wear.

    The other con is the slide. Its a post war replacement that was made under govt contract by San Col Mar Industries. Some collectors tell the slide is a rarity by itself as very few were made by this company but I would much rather got a Colt. Means I will have to find the Colt slide I have somewhere and possibility find someone who can match the parking on the frame.

    Now I have to decide whether to keep it or swap with a collector friend for another 1911 plus.

    Folks,
    I read this thread sometime late last night and inadvertently closed the thread. Sorry about that! Hopefully, it was so late that you guys were in bed already and nobody was affected.

    It's back open for business. Cry about those 1911s all you want now.

    Jack

    This is exactly why I didn't sign up for all of this BS from the CMP. Never buy something sight unseen.
