CMP 1911 lottery

[alleycat]

It may be that people who wanted one...got one. They're on round two of the 1911 sales now and folks are asking for a round three.

I feel like the popularity for this kinda died

Based on what they are selling for on Gunbroker I'd say interest is still VERY high.

I have one and would buy another as an investment.

I got 2 of them, just sorta put them away for a rainy day

Got mine yesterday, Still think the price is high but very happy with what I received. Late war RR slide and reciever, period correct barrel and Korean War era grips ( not matching sn) super smooth action.
Saved my nickels and dimes and passed on several deals that I really liked to get this pistol and my gun budget has now been depleted for the foreseeable future.

The sign up for this round has closed. There is a possibility of a third round and the best thing is to sign up for the CMP notifications and they'll let you know when the applications start.

They supposedly started with more than 50,000.

So now that the Army is fielding M17s and M18s maybe the next freedom loving administration will allow the CMP to sell off the Beretta M9s.

May be a while since these 1911s were issued from war stock in 1991 at the Ft. Benning CONUS Replacement Center during Desert Storm. I was issued one and wound up in a unit that only had M9s.

I was wondering about the M9's as well. Probably have to wait another 40 years.
