    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.

        They will likely be sold through the CPM. Your mom will have to qualify to their requirements before she could purchase one. If she does, have her pick up a nice service grade Garand as well.

            These pistol will be sold through the CMP as suggested above.

            So your Mom, or anyone she knows could purchase one if they meet the requirements: http://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/rifle_sa...-requirements/

            More details here: http://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/1911-information/

            As with the Garands, many will likely make their way to GunBroker eventually.
