I may be among a small group but to me the lines and feel of a 1911 in the hand cannot be beat. It definitely feels to me like the most natural extension on my arm when shooting. You've got a great looking piece of history. Great video!
Agreed. I bought a 1911 about a year or so ago, and the first time I fired it, it felt great. This is just me, but the 1911 looks and feels like simplicity at its finest. Another thing that made me happy was when I managed to take it down, and then reassemble it after cleaning. It was nerve wracking at first, but that went away when I reassembled it, checked it, and cleaned it up/put it away.
An awesome piece of history
Hey Gear thats a nice 1911. I got mine in round 2 so glad i got one. I subed ya too. You have a lot of videos on your channel !!
Super cool video. I just submitted my application and am hoping I get picked. It is a bit of an awkward process!
Nov 22, I received my service grade, M1911a1 from CMP. A 1943 Remington Rand with a Colt National Match Hard slide with matching chrome lined barrel. From a USAF Marksmanship contract. All roll marks and inspection initials are legible. The Army Odrnance acceptance stamp has "MR" over strike, but is still partially visible. I am also waiting for my Round 4 RGN (47242) to get a second one.
UPDATE 6/24 CMP now offering a Tisas 1911A1 "museum quality " U. S. GOVERNMENT marked companion piece to their military aresenal reissued M1911A1. They are for CMP qualified buyers. I already have the Tisas G.I. model BUT, another with US GOVERNMENT and CMP marked would be nice.
Won that lottery.
Got a fine workhorse, would have set in a rack waiting for firearms receipt
And Issue.I carried similar. 45 in Army 1974-77 MP CORP
Mine is being fedex overnighted to my FFL as i type this. Im so excited.
Is this still from the third round?
@@GearKnowHow yep! Received it yesterday. GI replacement colt slide, frame is remington rand
I want the Range Grade mainly because those were CAG 1911s.
Can you tell me what is the best grade out there in other words no scratches?
Where can you find info on what the diff slide stamps mean, etc?
Going to have to dig through Google and find some forums
Did they have to ship the pistol to a local FFL or could you pick it up if from out of state?
Local FFL
What kinda information is in that Manila envelope? Anything on the history of your 1911?
Not much historical details just a bill of sale and a certificate of authenticity
@@GearKnowHow You can send in a FOIA request to the Army and get some info on history. My CMP Field Grade Colt 1945 had official records available only back to 1995 but others have had better luck, going back to the 1970s.
What was the turn around time for when you sent in your paperwork to receiving your 1911?
Got the call about 2 months after submitting paperwork and then shipped a couple weeks later.
@@GearKnowHow awesome, do you know if any are left? I sent in my paperwork for a garand 2 weeks ago, maybe if 1911s are still available once I get my garand I’ll try to get a 1911
@@josephwaters5650 no idea, I know they were running out of both
I mailed the packet on 9/12/2022 and received an RGN (34042) email on 10/3/2022 and the selection call on 11/16/2022. It was shipped to my FFL, and I picked it up on 11/22/2022.
@@dlbracer56 nice! I actually just shipped my paperwork today. So hopefully I get a quick turn around like you. You happy with your 1911?
Can i ask your RGN ?
Is it okay to dry fire those 1911's?
Yes technically, but it’s a piece of history so try not to.
These weapons were dry fired hundreds of thousands of times over their 40 year service life.
