Military M9 at CMP

[Porter Rockwell]

If the military every chooses a new sidearm, will old issued M9s be available to the public via CMP or other retail options?? I don't know much about the CMP or how they operate? Or is it possible the military would sell these handguns through another way?

 

[Cadcom]

Man I hope so.
Probably would depend a lot on which idiot we idiots elect in November.

 

[JamesG]

Not for a long time probably. The M9s would go to the Navy, Guard and Reserve stocks, the USCG, and then give aways to foreign governments (MAP). The unserviceable ones you don't want.

I doubt it . Look at 1911's look at the military grease guns and shotguns

it would take an act of congress to have the CMP sell pistols.. right now they can sell air guns, MI Garand and the M1 carbine...

As of earlier this year, the CMP approved sales of the M1911A1 pistol. Unless this has changed........?

I like those police turn in Beretta 92's...super nice..

Well yes approved to sell 1911 but it may literally take years.

In theory the people who pay for the weapons initially would have an opportunity to purchase said weapons at "some" price , name it but the asshats in DC would rather destroy , in fact pay someone to destroy said firearms rather than sell to the citizenry.

I had one for years, it was the only way to get a 92G without buying an expensive, fancy version. Mine was from Dekalb Co PD.

I would bet less than 20 crimes have ever been committed with a CMP firearm.
