The CMP took in 8,000 1911 pistols from the Army and received over 19,000 requests for purchase.<\/p>\n<p>After combing through the stock the CMP found that 145 were in unsellable condition. A few with high historical value will be sidelined. The CMP will not be taking in more 1911 requests until they receive another batch.<\/p>\n<p>So far the CMP reports they&#8217;ve sold just over 600 guns, taking in more than $663,000 in revenue, and expects to move the rest of the batch this spring. The Government Accountability Office, or GAO, believes the lot could generate up to $8 million for the CMP. That&#8217;s in addition to rifle sales which are also significant.<\/p>\n<p>The CMP sells roughly 33,000 rifles a year. About a third of those are M1 Garands, but they also sell National Match M14s, M1903s, M1917 Enfields, M82 Kimbers and a handful of other military rifles.<\/p>\n<p>The CMP selects buyers by lottery, assigning each request a number and using a random number generator to determine the lucky collectors. Each gun is inspected, repaired if necessary, and test-fired.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Office of the Secretary of the Army, the military has around 100,000 1911s that it can surplus, and the CMP hopes to get another 8,000-10,000 every year.<\/p>\n<p>The pistols selling through CMP program are graded as follows, \u201cservice grade,\u201d (listing at $1,050), \u201cfield grade,\u201d (listing for $950), and \u201crack grade\u201d (listing for $850).<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/cmp-first-batch-of-m1911s\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cmp-demand-m1911s\" title=\"CMP Reports Demand for M1911s Outstrips Supply by More than Double\">Touring the CMP: A Look at the First Batch of M1911s<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>As far as the historically significant guns are concerned, it&#8217;s not clear if they will be sold by the CMP, auctioned off for special events, kept as prizes, or sent to museums.<\/p>\n<p>And the history for some of these pistols can run deep. While the provenance for all of the 1911s will take time to pin down, if it&#8217;s even possible, some of these 1911s were issued before WWI. That&#8217;s a lot of history for the CMP to comb through.<\/p>\n<p>Every branch of the military issued the 1911\u00a0to its troops.\u00a0 But starting in 1985, the Uncle Sam started phasing out ole slabside for other pistols, chiefly the Beretta M9. And while a few special units continued to field 1911s up into recent years, these were purpose-built 1911s, not the same guns issued to G.I.s.<\/p>\n<p>Today the military as a whole is adopting the new SIG M17 and M18, based on their P320 series of modular pistols.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pistols selling through CMP program are graded with \u201cservice grade\u201d pistols listing at $1,050, \u201cfield grade\u201d pistols for $950 and \u201crack grade\u201d for $850.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":91970,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[111,461,243,240],"tags":[138,132,617,335,607,621],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-106561","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-industry-news","8":"category-max-slowik","9":"category-military","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-45-acp","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-industry-news","14":"tag-military","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-pistol"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CMP Reports Demand for M1911s Outstrips Supply by More than Double<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The CMP took in 8,000 1911 pistols from the Army and received over 19,000 requests for purchase last fall.
