US&S versions are $3k min, but one went as high as 5k. currenlty there is a nice US&S thats up to $2,59 already, and I bet it will hit at least 4k by Friday. This may be reasonable for a US&S, but too high for me for a shooter. The Rands on auction are too rough for my taste, and will go in the low 2K mark. Interesting, there are a couple of posts on the cmp forum tonight asking why posts are vanishing. Moderator says the deleted posts indicating current called RNG numbers add no value , BS. He refers posters to an out dated thread with an RNG hat has not been updated since October.

GI parts are the same regardless if they are from CMP. Parts guns coming from CMP are including both commercial parts from Colt, and S&W as well as gov contractors. Seems like the CMP paper could also be forged.

The main 1911 order thread is still up and shows all of the ordering info so I think they deleted the "unofficial" threads that others had started with similar info.
This is the main thread that was originally started and is stickied- http://forums.thecmp.org/showthread.php?t=234071 |

I only asked a question, and in speaking for myself, it add zero value. Who else are you speaking for?

Then he probably didn't post in the main thread. Not agreeing with what happened, only offering an explanation as to what might have occurred.

FYI 10155 is an East Bay CA customer. I just got the request to process his transfer. He mentioned "just getting his call". I don't know if that means it was today or a few days ago.

Mine (10217) finally got handed off to fedex today. It's been a long road - almost 2 years since the bill authorizing 1911's to be transferred to the CMP. I can't wait to find out what I get!

"Got the call" threads are generally cleaned up because they serve no purpose. We have an ongoing tacked thread at the very top of the 1911 forum where people can track which RNG's are being sent out. BTW, I think everyone should be more concerned with what might happen to the CMP1911 sales if the Saugus shooter used a 1911 for his rampage. |

In one of the CMP threads, someone said Mark Johnson stated at a question and answer session that anyone with a RNG under 16,000 was in a very good position to get a 1911. However, there hasn't been any confirmation of that from any other source.

So a couple weeks ago I signed up again - using the same username, confirmed the account with the confirmation email I got, and still I cannot post because my account has not been approved yet. Whatever, I got on to a good CMP Facebook group instead and already met some nice folks there. |

I'm waiting for my CMP account to be approved. Been waiting since late 2017. At this rate, the Roman Forum will be reopened for it's original purpose before I can post over there.
I do hope they got extra pistols, and get the idea behind staying quiet. However, the only public statement they made was that they got 8,000 and if they got more, they would say something. They haven't said something, and seem to delete posts that ask. Even a wink, wink, nod, nod would be fine. But...nothing. |

Well, I went to go see what I got. 1944 remington rand frame, postwar GI replacement slide with just a number on it. If I ranked every possible frame/slide outcome by what I wanted this would be dead last.
I regret spending for a service grade and getting a recently-refinished pistol instead of something like this guy's field grade: http://forums.thecmp.org/showthread.php?t=254979

https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/...&postcount=670 If so what is the mfg code? I am not sure Colt supplied any slides without their usual markings but you could have something interesting! I was happy to get the post-war slide, no worries about shooting it. The one in that CMP thread is pretty nice for a field grade though, finish looks original. I’d sure like to know more about their grading process. Last edited by SkyHawk; 11-16-2019 at 7:52 PM.. |

The left side of the slide has the number I mentioned: 7790314. Turns out this is the contract number and doesn't say who made it. I found the only thing on the right side is a very small "TZ". I believe that means this slide is from IMI - so the same folks that made my Desert Eagle? The barrel says .45 AUTO / 7791193 / 85 (I'm pretty sure 85 is the year). There's stamping on the left side of the barrel (on the lower lugs) that also says TZ and 06P. So I think it's contemporary with the slide and also from IMI. The left side of the frame has FJA and P which are normal for Remington Rand. There's also a very faint 8 on the trigger guard near the top. The right side of the frame has a lot more going on. ANAD 4 87 I think means Anniston Army Depot, maybe April 1987? Makes sense with the 1985 barrel? The second "A" of ANAD is actually on to of what looks like a faint RIA stamp, so it Anniston was the second rebuild - it had already gone through Rock Island Arsenal. There's also a large 7 on the trigger guard on the right side up top, and a very deelpy struck small "A" just under the trigger. I can also barely see where the crossed-cannons was struck by the hammer pin. Finally, under the right grip panel (5564062-marked Korea-era) somebody electropenciled "E4" Clearly this pistol has seen a ton of miles. If only it could talk! I also find it interesting that this was still getting work done on it after the Army had switched to the M9. edit: Based on the cage code, I also got a checkmate magazine. Nice! And I got the tan pelican-type case.

^^^ it sounds pretty cool to me. Sure it’s not the original Singer we were all hoping for, but what you have is authentic USGI and is a configuration that has probably rarely been seen in civilian hands. There may be tens of thousands more just like it, but the Army is still hanging on to those.

Thousands of hours on watch in Korea, a nervous new recruit shooting a handgun for the first time, a tunnel rat in Vietnam feet from an unseen enemy.
Many vets that used them now gone from us. It's American history you can touch, hold, shoot and bark out a .45 and history comes a little bit back to life at 850 feet per second.

10630, last reported. Sounds like they did get another delivery of pistols, but they are keeping quiet and actively deleting forum posts they mention what number they are up to.

Nice! Are you taking one? Some of the field grades coming out are very nice, to some people more desirable than the service grades.

I wouldn't. Lots of far better options.

Have you shot yours yet? Mine wouldn't feed ball ammo off of the provided magazine. Get something modern that was designed to feed hollow points.
