Got the email this morning asking for an updated FFL & I just hung up the phone giving my CC info.

My random number is in the high 15,000's. Hopefully that means I'll be in next year's batch.

It was almost exactly 3 months since I received the email with my number in it. Should ship in the next few weeks & will ship overnight once it does. I’ll share photos once I pick it up. She said it would be either Service Grade or Field Grade.

I was 4597.

Woo Hoo!!

Got the call from Casey at CMP1911 at 9:27 this morning.... offered service or field grade, chose service. My RNG was 4677. I had received my RNG 1/24/2019, which I believe is 95 days.

I'll keep everyone posted as things develop.

All along I kept asking myself if I had done everything correctly, even though I had xeroxed all the application papers, and could see that I had....

I had managed to stay calm all this time, but am starting to get excited!!

Best Regards, Les

Bravo! I don't blame you for getting excited. What's that saying..."Good things come to those who wait"? Or something like that.

I'll be looking forward to seeing some good photos of your new pistol when you get it. Oh, and reading a range report, too.

I asked for a service grade & she politely told me people don't get to pick.

Congratulations Les, I hope it's a nice one.

Well, Cory, maybe I misunderstood her. I think she said that they had both service and field grades, and I said I would prefer the service grade. But I guess we’ll see, I have seen a few on the 1911 Forum that they listed as field grade, and they looked pretty much like the service grades to me....

Best Regards, Les

Les,

She laughed when I asked. I said I had to try & she said that was not a problem. I spoke to Defanie today since my email said that's who I was to ask for when I called. I had to send an updated copy of the FFL.

I certainly hope for the Service Grade, but will be happy with either. I'm anxious to get it either way.

Update....

My credit card was charged at 11:00 this morning for $1050 (so I must be getting a service grade!). This afternoon at at 2:50pm I received an email from "1911" which says the pistol shipped FedEx overnight to the FFL listed in my package!!

Just wanted to share with you guys. I know how slow the time seems to pass, and then, suddenly everything seems to happen at once!! I'll update when I get it in my hands!!

Best Regards, Les

Les,

Seeing your post made me check my CC, nothing yet for me.

Cory

I never heard anything from CMP at all so I finally contacted them yesterday to ask if there was some reason I was never contacted. Was quickly advised my RGN was just over 15,000 so there must have been some glitch in the email. Anyway, nothing for me this year, but that’s OK. Maybe next time. I already have a nice 1943 Colt so I’m fine with guys that don’t have one at all getting theirs first.

 

[les.b]

It's here!!

On the busiest day of the year for me, but I had just time to stop by the FFL and pick it up this afternoon. Snapped a quick pic, will take more and better later.

Tag says Ithaca frame and Remington Rand slide.

I'm excited, but too tired to do anything but look at it. Dry, naturally, and the low light picture makes it look rougher than it is.

More later!!

Best Regards, Les

I love it, Les!

Color me jealous! Congrats!

 

[ladder13]

Nice one Les. I only hope mine will look as good.

 

[richcory]

Awesome Les,

Still nothing on my CC, but I’m very happy to see you already have yours. It looks great

Cory

 

[Wyo]

Very nice, Les. You’re gonna enjoy that one!

 

[richcory]

Well, well, well, looked this morning & saw the magical $1050 charge on my CC. Looks like I’ll have it soon.

Cory

 

[richcory]

And here we have it. It also work as I've already shot it.
