    M1911 pistol from the US Army stockpile

    I WANT - can you get?

    Americans will soon have the rare opportunity to get their hands on a historic military gun.

    Only American citizens can purchase one of these World War II combat pistols, the M1911, from the U.S. Army stockpile. And only one can be purchased a year by a qualified buyer.

    The 1911 is one of the most sought-after popular handgun models in the country. The legendary pistol entered service more than a century ago, and was used in World War I. Most of the vintage handguns in storage were made before 1945.

    President Trump is expected to soon sign off on a bill greenlighting the Army to make available for sale a limited number of these M1911s to American civilians.

    For several decades, these surplus U.S. military handgun stockpiles have been hidden away in storage out of the public eye.
