Just got the call from CMP this morning. Interestingly, they mentioned that the Field, Rack, and Range grades were still available. I decided to move forward with a Field grade and will keep my fingers crossed that it will be in similar condition as others on this thread.
My RNG number is 35,350. Absolutely thrilled! |

We'll see how it goes. I am just grateful that I actually got the opportunity to order from this round since I missed the 1st and 2nd. |

Good to know. I appreciate the follow-up and FOIA information. CMP shipped my 1911 today, so we'll see what arrives.

Just got my RNG number a week ago. 37912. I'm assuming May or June is when I'll get the call.
Hopefully rack or field grades will still be available by then. I believe they constantly replenish the supply of Service and Field grades as they restore them from extra parts. Not %100 sure though. |

They do not open and grade 10,000 pistols at once, they do them in small batches. What is happening is they keep opening and grading new crates of pistols and that is what replenishes the supply of service grades. Over in the main thread we have behind the scenes pictures and NRA articles about this. Last edited by SkyHawk; 02-01-2023 at 10:03 AM.. |

Picked up my CMP Field Grade M1911A1 today. I have not field stripped it yet to go over it in detail, but I am really pleased. Remington Rand frame with a Union Switch & Signal slide.
As another CalGunner posted in another thread, US&S made 55,000 1911s. It is no Singer, but still cool. It has the “P” proof stamp on the top of the slide in front of rear sight, which means the slide was made from 1082000 to the end of production. It looks like it has original finish. It is great to own a piece of history. Looking forward to cleaning it and putting some rounds down range. Last edited by MarCat; 02-17-2023 at 10:54 PM.. |

The Field grades in this thread look great. Way better than my Service grade from the first round.

My experience with CMP has a been completely positive. Are you going to keep yours as a safe queen, or are you going to get it out to the range? |

Completely agree with you Enzo rules. Once you get a chance to hold them in person, even the little nicks or whatnot are "features" rather than "bugs".
I am really glad I had a chance to get in on the 3rd drawing. |

My Service Grade has been sitting in its CMP case for over three years now. When it got to the LGS, I opened it, went WTF?!?, and put it away. I don’t even like looking at it, haha!! Colt slide on a RR frame. I think the pistol is about 6” thick from all the park, haha!! ![]() ![]()

Picked up my Field Grade today! RGN 37912. Was called last Thursday 5/11 and offered Service or Field grade. Mailed my packet late November 2022. I wanted a Field grade anyways so it worked out.
1944 Colt Frame, Remington Rand Slide. Appears to have the original finish and both frame and slide have an equal amount of holster wear. Very pleased with my purchase. Was crossing my fingers to at least get a colt slide and I did! It was oiled up pretty well when I got it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Xplosiv3; 05-21-2023 at 4:05 PM.. |
