CMP 1911’s

[PANRA]

Did anyone apply for the CMP 1911 drawing? I sent my paperwork in but haven’t heard anything yet.

I did too. I've been reading the CMP forums for updates, seems like it might take a month or more until they notify you of your number. I heard it suggested over there that they've only received around 17,000 applications. I think that's well below what some expected.

Totally forget to send in everything.

Not surprised they ended up with 17000 apps considering the hoops you had to jump through.

Looks like another month of waiting.... latest update:

As we process orders, we will call customers as we work through the list.

Thank you for your patience and support.

An example was just posted on the CMP forum that's a mid-WWII Colt slide on a late WWII RR frame, rebuilt at Benicia and then again by the Marines, with markings to prove both. To the folks who think that's equivalent to a new production Rock Island, I can't help them. But to those who understand and value the history, condition and mechanical function are simply bonuses.

A friend of mine got his the other day. Looks pretty new. Built 1913

Still waiting to find out my assigned number. Has anyone received theirs yet?

I'm guessing we're out of luck - I would think they have gotten through them all by now? Only hope is they said if you did not get one, your application and number were kept in order and would be applied to next round of imports - we will see
