what a waste

The prices seem high until you consider how much other US 1911s sell for. They're still undercutting those by a huge margin. These are geared towards collectors and they aren't trying to totally destroy the milsurp 1911 market.

I'll have to pass.

The fact that they won't ship to C&R holders is absurd

I agree. That doesn't make much sense.

As for the price, people will pay for those. Have any of you seen what other places sell milsurp stuff for? Have you seen what people will pay for an AK? The gun world is full of examples of people paying far more than what it is worth.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Are you serious?

$850 for a gun that has pitting, probably missing the grips, and most likely 10-15% finish left? CMP must be smoking meth.

Didn't the military give the CMP these for free/almost free so they could get them out of storage where it was costing them money?

What a joke. Honestly anyone who buys one of these is an idiot.

Plus the fact they won't sell to C&R holsters makes even less sense than their incredibly high prices.

Sadly, I have a feeling they're going to sell like hotcakes anyway.

I think they will sell, there has not been much surplus stuff the last ten years, they are hungry and have the cash. They definitely will not be flipping them to me though, I will laugh at them

Blame congress, not the CMP. They're the one who required the CMP to do their own background check, ship only if/when the check comes back as "proceed", and ship only to dealers (no C&R).

The whole thing is a ******* show

A worn out rusty 1911 with little to no actual historic or collector's value for only $850!? What a DEAL!
I don't know who would buy these and why.

I'm happy for the collectors with the inclination to buy one . I'm not going to be a buyer because of the need for shipping to a dealer that will add to the cost . This process just doesn't bring any interest out of me at all .

If I were to buy one, I'd want the $1,050 model... I said, I'd buy one if they became available. However, If I'm spending $1,000 on a 1911, I don't think it will be one of these....

My thoughts exactly for about another $150.00 you can get a bran new Colt Gold Cup 45 National Match
