CMP 1911 Application

Congrats to all that have received, are receiving, or will receive one of these guns. :cool:
Put me in the will receive maybe class. :D
 
Nothing here yet, to be honest have kind of pushed it out of my mind. I’ve got other “priorities”, so when or if it happens, it happens. I’m pretty sure my paperwork was good, so I’ll eventually get one this release or next provided nothing drastic politically happens.
 
Nada for me. They’re getting somewhere near the 4000 range right now. This is how drawings ALWAYS go for me. By now I’m used to it.
 
It’s going way slower than they anticipated. The CMP forum doesn’t have a random number generator above 4374. That’s out of 19000 numbers. The numbers don’t radically jump so I think they’re pretty accurate. Somebody with 2360 just got the call. I’m 2927 so I’m thinking 3 weeks or so for call. They’ve all been service grades and the pics on that forum of what guys are getting have been outstanding. Far from the “beat up overpriced pieces of junk” that some were predicting. And I have heard that the numbers started at 1000. Don’t know why.

But getting a number doesn’t mean your packet was right. I checked my packet like 20 times so I know it was complete. I stood and watched as my ffl faxed AND emailed his info. But I still get worried that something g got screwed up. The unanticipated delays to get your number in line means probably a delay in notifying you if you were rejected and for what reason. If they can call for payment, I hope something as simple as a lost email from an ffl can be corrected with a phone call as well. IF ( a BIG if) congress authorizes another round of this, I suspect they will change their methods. They are literally assigning numbers by hand and physically emailing 19000 people. Then they’re opening the packets assigned a number and physically checking them before a call is made.

I got the number 4232 on 1/16/2019 - the email said it could take up to 90 days for me to hear anything further.

I am quite encouraged to hear about the quality of the field grade guns that have gone out so far.

I am fan of the CMP and all that they do. I submitted a packet and am (Im)patiently waiting for my RNG. Since submitting my packet I have so far purchased one firearm and one car in an effort to tide myself over. At least I am no longer checking my junk email file every 15min. Monday through Friday, I now check every 4 hours or so. My slush fund can handle a CMP 1911, unless I find both the Model 10 and Model 18 I am always looking for. I am actually enjoying the anticipatory excitement. Good Luck Everyone!
 
My number is in the high 2900's. I got the email on Dec 04. Nothing since then.

I’m 2927. But I’ve been following the posts on the CMP forums. They’re not calling people exactly in order. The moderator there who works for the CMP explained it. Several people are calling and they’re all working from different piles. So number 1895 got his call but number 1840 still hadn’t. That’s the part that sucks. So you’re wondering if you screwed up your packet and aren’t getting a gun. If you did, they’ll notify you at a later date.

But good news is with your number and mine, we are gonna get a gun. But I know I’m gonna be annoyed when somebody with a number beyond 2927 posts they got the call and I’m still waiting.

I see that the RGN numbers are over 7,000 as of today. I think that they are shipping to number 3,233 now. So far, all reports are that they have only shipped "Service Grade" pistols. Those that have been posted on the CMP 1911 forum look pretty good to me, and I would be happy with one if they last long enough to get to my number of 4,677!!

Good Luck to all of my forum friends who are participating in the lottery!!!

I see a post on the 1911 forum that 2927 has shipped....is this yours? Just curious.


Best Regards, Les

Yep! Shipped yesterday and should arrive today! I’ll post pics.
 
Don't give up yet!! Every one is supposed to get a number, whether there are enough pistols or not. And not everyone who is called is buying the gun, so there will be more numbers called than pistols. I have npbeen hanging out over on the CMP 1911 forum a little, and there is a lot of good info coming out.

Here's a thread that I just link upped on another of ours :
