I remember when the CMP announced the prices for the M1911's all the sturm und drang over the sales.
I was among the early doubters, in fact.
Since then there have been at least four lotteries for whom got a pistol and that's moved on to direct sales of what's left.
And the furor is gone.
Not even sour grapes griping about missing out.
While the lotteries were running, I only recall a couple of people who didn't like what they'd gotten.
I've seen pics of some very nice guns on various forums.

When my name came up I passed and instead bought a Tisas CMP 1911. My thought was that was a lot of money for a museum piece and that if I got a real humdinger, I would never shoot it. I just wanted a G.I. stock pistol I could actually not feel guilty about shooting and I can't afford to buy safe queens. That Tisas 1911 is a great shooter even though it's Cerakoted and not parkerized.
ReplyDeleteMy Ithaca is FAR from a museum piece. I don't feel any more guilty shooting it than I did when I was in the Army.
DeleteAnd it's almost exactly the same as the gun I was issued, so, that's why I wanted one.
It replaced a Springfield.
