U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- The CMP has been authorized to receive 8,000 1911 type pistols from the United States Army.
The 1911s have been received by the CMP. A complete inventory will be conducted over the course of this week. The pistols will then be securely stored until the Army-approved 1911 building and armory infrastructure is completed. That completion is anticipated to be approximately 60 days from now. Once the 1911 armory is completed, inspection, grading, repair, and ultimately test firing of the pistols will begin. (Please be aware that the CMP was led to believe that we were ready to move forward, but three weeks ago facility requirements were changed, and we are now fulfilling those requirements.)
The CMP 1911 order packet will be posted 90 days prior to the order acceptance date and opening sales date. No orders will be accepted prior to that date. Please visit www.thecmp.org, click on the Sales icon then 1911 Information, for the latest. CMP customer service has been inundated with calls and emails concerning the 1911s and no further information is available at this time.
The CMP will keep everyone posted as we move through this process.

Thanks for the notification. I’m looking forward to ordering.
My problem is finding a CMP affiliated organization here in Illinois. I looked at the form to find one online, but it asks for the name of the organization! How am I supposed to know that if I’m looking for one?! I emailed CMP, and they simply referred me back to the form!
Please keep me posted as I am interested in these weapons. Thank you very much…
Looking forawd to purchasing one. This will be my first 1911. Can’t wait.
They have to build a new armory to house the 911’s? To me that says they are planning on receiving a good price for these guns. Does anyone know if they are the only organization that will be able to sell these and does the Army just donate the guns to them?
CMP associates their relatives and friends will get first picks at deep discounts and the rest will be over priced worn out boat anchors.
Your better off buying another handgun.
