I have been waiting for several years now for the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) to gain the authority and get the old M1911's & M1911A1 pistols out of military inventory to sell to us civilians. It finally happened. CMP is selling the vast majority of the pistols as fixed price guns in three condition categories with matching prices. CMP is also auctioning the cream of the crop or the best in the bunch at auction.
I won a Colt M1911A1 at the week before last auction. Below is a link to the one I scored. It was graded by CMP at 95% condition and has matching parts. It is not an Arsenal Rebuild like most of them. Anyway if you follow the below link, you will see a lot of pictures toward the end of auction listing.

I will be picking it up at my FFL tomorrow afternoon. It will feel welcome since it will join my Colt M1911 of 1918 vintage and my Remington Rand M1911A1 I acquired last year.
