CMP and Tisas

[cruzans]

Just you. Lol. It really does!

Does that look like Bruce Willis, or is it just me?

Oh I'm sure it was price, and Tisas is a decent gun - but Lower priced Springfields go for $699-$799 and I think they would still sell a lot being a real American 1911? Who knows, maybe I'm being too sensitive but offering a replica of an American piece of history with an import just seems wrong.

im going to say the price point of someone like springfield or colt would be to high to move decent volume.

We live in a global marketplace and that is just the way it is these days. I try to buy American but if it surpasses my budget or simply isn't available then that is that, I will buy foreign.

I would expect CMP start to pivot into other products as the old surplus is drying up and they will need other projects to fund the organization.

I didn’t know that Springfield made their 1911 in the USA. I always thought that they were made in Croatia like their other pistols. Looks like they started to make their 1911 in the USA starting in 2021.

I believe the CMP was originally the DCM. I might be wrong but I think it was an originally a government program untill around 1995 when it turned to a private entity.

Most of them were made in South America.

The Springfield 1911s made in the early 90's were made in the USA.
