CMP 1911 pricing is announced

[C J]

All this is because you want to buy a pistol for way under market value?

I guess it doesn't matter how many times I say it. I DON'T WANT ONE AT HALF THE PRICE THEY WILL SELL FOR!!! I'm not a collector. I have zero use for a worn out 1911.

And those that say,

No facts, no case. As Judge Judy would say " case dismissed".

I'm glad you finally agree with me that you have no point. I cited chapter and verse from the CMP web site but I guess that doesn't register with some.

And those that are glad I'm done with this should mind their manners. I do.

Used to be a time when manners meant not crapping in someone's thread with negative bellyaching nonsense.
Most would just start another thread of their own with a counterpoint. Manners.....yeah, they don't exist.

Now, call the IRS.

While I would like a lower price, i certainly hope they put a very low limit on number of pistols sold to an individual per year (one or two) and prohibit "flipping" on GB (otherwise loose your CMP privileges for life) so Billy Bob and Cleetus don't corner the market.

The CMP is obligated by law (statute?) to sell at market prices. That being said, they will have no problems selling them - not as quickly as if they were $500, but they will sell. Watch out for the sky-high auction prices on the nicer ones.

So $1K is market price for an old worn gun? It's not as though they're a rarity.. They produced over a million of them. I think they're just seeing dollar signs.
