If they are actually going to be allowed to sell them that's great...and I am shocked. I was certain someone in DC living at taxpayer expense would stop the sale.

Genuine WW II 1911s bring a lot of money. I would not have expected the CMP guns to be cheap. Do you want a new gun for shooting or a piece of history? That's what you're buying with one of these.

I assume that $1K gets you a real beater. Expect to pay much more for anything resembling a nice gun...if there are any nice ones available. I've heard they are all pretty much worn out.
