"The Civilian Marksmanship Program had a booth at the 2016 SHOT Show Industry Day at the Range. I spoke with CMP Chief Operating Officer Mark Johnson about the 1911 pistols the CMP is expected to receive from the U.S. Army for civilian sales."
"They have no idea on the condition of the pistols in inventory. But, based on their experience with M1Garand the CMP expects there will be Rack Grade, Field Grade, Service Grade, and Collector Grade pistols available and that he expects 10% to be in the worst condition, 10% to be in the best condition, and the rest somewhere in the middle. (He later added that the CMP will thoroughly inspect, repair, and test fire all pistols prior to sale). The pricing is expected to start at about $1,000 per pistol with the better grades “priced accordingly.”

Awesome 
Probably so.......and $1000 for a refinished, mixed parts, re-arsenal-ed pistol is already more than I would pay. No worries, I expect the demand to be through the roof with many willing paying way more than the true value without even batting an eye.
Dern right !
Get em out there into the hands that love them :0)

nice, will they be getting M9's as well?
My prediction is that after the initial rush these will sit in the racks and they will have to reconsider the pricing.
Or maybe not.
Folks were paying outrageous prices for carbines so I'm prolly wrong...

You would have to be a collector to pay $1000 for one of those old GI 1911's. You can get a new much better 1911 than that for a fraction of that price.
