I read the terms and they made perfect sense to me. They will only get 8k or so a year for two years to start, so the numbers are quite limited. Out of 100 million gun owners I could see 8k 1911 relics going pretty fast, just to history buffs. I think they'll sell them, but I also think they're subtly telling us that you'd have to be pretty lucky to get a shooter...they're historical artifacts.

I think they'll sell out within a year. If they don't they'll lower the price, but I think there's little to no expectation that these will be decent guns.

CMP recognizes SASS membership as one of the qualifiers. For any of Y'all that are members. I agree that they are asking way too much for what most likely will be a worn out gun.

If I want to shoot an old worn-out 1911 I'll get my Para-Ordnance 13+1 kit gun out. And if I want one in decent shape I'll go to a gun shop and get one for half the price of the CMP guns. Sure, collectors will buy them but I doubt anyone else will for the price they're asking.

So, let me get this straight...

They are going to GIVE you 2 1911s, one for backup, 5 spare magazines each and 10,900 rounds of practice ammo and you are complaining about having to jump through a few hoops????
