jtallen83 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 What do I have to join to put my order in. Is there going to be an associated club like joining the Garand Collectors club to get in line for a garand?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guruofhotrod Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) According to this:https://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/sales-faq/it looks like you just have to belong to an affiliated club or organization as found here:https://ct.thecmp.org/app/v1/index.php?do=clubSearchor certain veterans' organizations: "starting in 2005 Congressionally chartered veterans’ organizations (VFW, American Legion, etc.) are recognized as CMP special affiliates"They will probably have them in their 2 stores, mail order, and also auction them online:https://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/cmp-stores/http://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/rifle_sales/ordering-information/https://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/guns-on-auction/ Edited November 27, 2015 by guruofhotrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 The 4H club that they built the new local range for is listed but I might be a bit old to join 4 H????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guilliam Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I was surprised to read the news report about this, and I intend to obtain at least one.I imagine it may take some time after they are released and what ever time it takes the CMP to go through them for sale ... maybe a year?Good news, and a once in a life time opportunity.

guruofhotrod Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Of course the current administration has to hang a dark cloud over the idea:https://www.nraila.org/articles/20150515/obama-administration-opposes-cmp-handgun-salesOne other thing I wasn't keeping in mind, Here in Kommiefornia we have this little deal called the "safe handgun roster"if it isn't on the list, you can't buy it unless it is a private party transfer or you are L/E - I'll have to run this by my FFL buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armed Eye Doc Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Any idea when these may be available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Any idea when these may be available?No. We were discussing it this past weekend. One person volunteered that when the Garands became available, it took them almost 3 years to get theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malig8r Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I'll probably get one for nostalgia sake. Don't curse me, I'm just not a 45 aficionado. Never even owned one yet. I prefer my 9mm & 40 S&W pistols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugger43 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I'll probably get one for nostalgia sake. Don't curse me, I'm just not a 45 aficionado. Never even owned one yet. I prefer my 9mm & 40 S&W pistols.Hey, I like my .40 S&W M&P too. And I have, and enjoy the hell out of my "modern" 1911. But I'll get one of these. I had a military surplus 1911 a long time ago, and due to a brain fart traded for something else. Always wanted it back. Got a couple of garands through the CMP, and I'll go for one of these, also. That comes from being a nostalgic old fart.Besides, Obama doesn't want me to have one....can't think of a better reason to own one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One person volunteered that when the Garands became available, it took them almost 3 years to get theirs.Guys over at the 1911forum.com were discussing this a few days ago and general consensus there is that it will probably take at least two years for them to become available, and that is IF and WHEN the armed forces decide to release the pistols for sale.
