CMP 1911A1 received

I was lucky enough to receive from the CMP a service grade, all matching 1945 Colt 1911A1.  The slide and frame finish matches correctly and all the internals are correct for the year.  I wanted to give the CMP a big shout out from one who collects U.S. military.  For those of you who want a piece of our military history, check out the CMP website.  The minute this .45 touched my hands the price doubled or tripled.  You cant beat that anywhere I know of.  After I pass I’d love to be a fly on the wall watching the fight from my nephews as to get this weapon.

I have been looking at the CMP to get a 1911. What I really wish I could do but doubt could be done is see if they could find the serial # of the one my grandfather carried in WW2 and check if it may be in their inventory.  I don't really think it would be possible but it would be awesome.

They are working through the second drawing.  I believe there will be a third and maybe a fourth.  If I wanted one of these, i would have my paperwork together and get in the mail when they say…send it. 

Now to add a few more Garands to the collection.

If you know the serial number of your grandpa’s .45 then there are several ways to trace.  Not precise but can nail it down to where it went.

Mine shoots just about like any other G.I. issue 1911. Completely reliable, but accuracy is nothing to brag about. It is combat accurate at reasonable self defense distances. You can hit a man sized target at 25 yards. That's all that was ever expected of it.
