I got a nice one from the 1st lottery but by the time they got it to me the second lottery had started and I got picked for it also. But they realized that they had just shipped me one and did not send me the second one.

I missed Round 1 when everybody said they were clapped out rusted junk. By the time I saw pics it was too late. 2022 came along and I jumped in and got a Field grade with Ithaca frame and a RR slide. Bonus painted rack number on the stocks. Round 3 my wife wanted to know what to ask for. I told her Service Grade. Hopefully you will get an “all Colt”. I told her that they frowned on special requests beyond grade. When they called her she told them Service and then said something to the girl hoping that she gets an “all Colt” and can have a better gun than her husband.
The girl at CMP laughed and said she would see what she can do.

Two days later we had the cleanest All Colt. It had been shipped all over the world but certainly not used much.

Very nice Service Grade SF Vet!

My CMP Round 3 Service Grade came in with a very nice Colt slide on a just as nice RR frame. I don't agree with some that just because a firearm comes through the CMP that it automatically has any historical value or particular provenance . My premise is that guns coming out of the CMP are mostly parts guns anyway, so mixing and matching parts is no big deal.

So, I came across a gentleman who had a very nice RR slide that matched my RR frame and he very much wanted my Colt slide. After we inspected each other's slides we decided on a trade and I now have a very nice RR slide from the same date period mated to my nice RR frame.

Was fortunate to get a 43 RR slide and frame round one and wife got a matching Colt 43 in round 2! Hers is Rack and mine is Service! Guess which one is much truer to the period! The Colt!

Very nice. Love my round two rack grade ithaca/ithaca. One could say this ithaca is gorges

Got the call today for my Round 4 opportunity. Ordered a rack grade, and should have it within a week.

The CMP is now allowing the purchase of two pistols, as long as you haven't purchased one this year. Might have to get another one in 2024.

The M1911A1 is an idyllic stopper and doughboy’s most trusted. Here’s mine:

That looks much nicer than anything that I was issued on active duty.
