The Civilian Marksmanship Program, or CMP, has been unable to sell the pistols so far due to political pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Last Friday the House of Representatives passed the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, which includes the language necessary to surplus the handguns. This will make it possible for the Army to transfer some 100,000 .45 ACP Model 1911 pistols to the CMP.<\/p>\n<p>Technically the Army has been able to surplus the 1911s since 2016. However, legislators worded the 2016 NDAA to leave the decision up to the Secretary of Defense. The bill also capped the number of pistols the Army was allowed to surplus at 10,000 per year. Under the Obama administration, the Army surplussed no handguns.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This year\u2019s language, however, would effectively make the transfers mandatory and would remove the yearly cap,&#8221; praised the NRA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/articles\/20170714\/cmp-sales-of-1911s-one-step-closer-with-house-passage-of-2018-ndaa\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cmp-surplus-1911-legislation\" title=\"Legislation to Surplus 1911s with the CMP Moves Forward\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a statement<\/a>. &#8220;Currently, the military has some 100,000 excess 1911s sitting in storage at taxpayer expense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Transfer of these historically-significant firearms would ease a burden on the government\u2019s heavily indebted balance sheet and help preserve important artifacts from the era when the U.S. military defended Western Civilization from worldwide fascism and aggressive Communist expansion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That doesn&#8217;t mean Americans will get to buy these guns in the near future. &#8220;They are still in the hands of the U.S. Army and there are still a few hurdles to clear,&#8221; said CMP spokesman Steve Cooper in an email to GunsAmerica. &#8220;The House and Senate each of their versions of the Defense Appropriations legislation which require resolution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are still very hopeful and we&#8217;ll be patient with the process,&#8221; added Cooper.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/buying-m1-garands-from-the-us-government-cmp\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cmp-surplus-1911-legislation\" title=\"Legislation to Surplus 1911s with the CMP Moves Forward\">Buying Garands from the Government with the CMP<\/a><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_76738\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76738\" title=\"Legislation to Surplus 1911s with the CMP Moves Forward\" class=\"wp-image-76738 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/cmp-youth-shooting-400x265.jpg\" alt=\"Legislation to Surplus 1911s with the CMP Moves Forward\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/cmp-youth-shooting-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/cmp-youth-shooting-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/cmp-youth-shooting-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/cmp-youth-shooting-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/cmp-youth-shooting.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76738\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Texas Hill Country Shooting Club earned the first place spot in the precision competition at the CMP Nationals.<em> (Photo: CMP\/Facebook)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>If passed, the CMP will be able to transfer these guns to buyers the same way new guns are sold.

The organization previously sold 1911 pistols until political pressure forced them to stop distributing handguns. Today, the CMP specializes in teaching shooting skills and hosts programs for adults and youths across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bill to surplus more than
