CMP Processing Orders, Adapting New System/Order Limit for 1911 Pistol Program

May 7, 2025

Civilian Marksmanship Program▸The First Shot▸CMP Processing Orders, Adapting New System/Order Limit for 1911 Pistol Program

By Ashley Dugan, CMP Staff Writer

With the completion of Round 4, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is excited to announce we have begun the processing of new orders for our surplus U.S. Army 1911 Pistol Program! If you sent in an 1911 order this year, your order will be processed in the order it was received. Please view our 1911 status timeline for details.

Through a partnership with the Army, the CMP offers these genuine, military-issued and field-tested M1911A1 pistols to consumers. A true piece of American history, these are the perfect addition for competitors and enthusiasts alike to enhance their firearm collection.

CMP staff members have already received over 4,000 new orders and will continue accepting more, utilizing an updated ordering process.


1911 Update Graphic May 2025

Who can order during the new round?

Anyone – even if you have just received a 1911 from Round 4, all those who fill out an application will be eligible to purchase during this upcoming round. We’re also excited to share that the Department of the Army has increased the lifetime limit from two to four pistols per person. Orders will be processed in the order they are received.

What’s new?

The CMP has introduced a new eStore payment method for 1911 pistols to better serve our customers. 

Why the change?

The change addresses the difficulty we face reaching customers during the day while they are at work and the challenge customers experience trying to reconnect with our sales team once we’ve moved on to assist others. This new method allows customers to complete their purchases at their own convenience, anytime, without the constraints of business hours. Additionally, it significantly speeds up the overall purchasing process, ensuring a smoother and more efficient experience for everyone.

How does it work?

  • When the CMP 1911 sales team reviews a customer’s order packet, they will identify and note any discrepancies. 
  • An email from [email protected] will then be sent to the customer detailing the specific information required to complete the packet. This process puts control back into the hands of the customer, allowing them to quickly address any issues and return the corrected order packet without unnecessary delays.
  • Once all required documentation and attributes have been satisfied, the customer will receive another email containing a secure link and a unique code. This will grant them access to the CMP eStore, where they can conveniently purchase their pistol by selecting the desired grade and quantity. 
  • The entire transaction is conducted through a safe and secure purchasing process, offering customers the flexibility of 24/7 access to complete their orders at their own convenience.

NEW STOREFRONT FOR IN-PERSON 1911 SALES!

Entry to each 1911 sales day will be available to individuals that have purchased tickets (open to those registered for either Talladega D-Day or the National Matches, respectively), with a maximum of 20 customers per 50-minute time slot. The sale will feature approximately 400 pistols – organized and displayed by grade (Service, Field, and Rack) as well as by specialty categories that include select items normally reserved for auction.

Along with online ordering, individuals may now purchase CMP’s 1911 Pistols at one of three in-person sales events at our CMP Store locations! These one-day events will be held during the upcoming Talladega D-Day event at Talladega Marksmanship Park in Alabama and during the National Matches at Camp Perry in Ohio.

Dates include:

  • Friday, June 6 – Anniston, Alabama (CMP South Store)
  • Tuesday, July 15 – Camp Perry, Ohio (CMP North Store)
  • Saturday, August 2 – Camp Perry, Ohio (CMP North Store)

Upcoming CMP Auction Highlight: 1911s

Keep an eye out for a select few 1911s that will be featured on the CMP Auction site in the coming weeks. A few “specialty categories” will be highlighted for our Auction page. Visit https://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/guns-on-auction/ for more details and to view current auction items.

See more on the CMP’s 1911 Program, including how to purchase, on the CMP website at https://thecmp.org/sales-and-service/1911-information/. Specific questions may also be sent via email to [email protected].

    I applied back in May time frame and cannot find any confirmation that my application for a 1911 has been received. I have checked back through my email and cannot seem to find anything. I submitted my credentials through my employer since I am a first responder, and was wondering if I should just submit a new application or what I should do.

    I placed my order back in February. I got an email confirmation on 2/24/25 saying the CMP had received my order on 2/19/25. I have yet to receive any additional communication from the CMP regarding my 1911 order. Since the time I sent my paperwork in, order limits have changed, and new procedures have been implemented. I have tried to email, call, and even message the 1911 team with no luck. Now the order status pages say to email if no correspondence on orders placed before 3/6/25, well that’s me, I have emailed several times, but no response. Please advise.

        Ditto. I did not get a response to my email when I asked if my request to purchase a surplus 1911 went through.

        Hello,
        I understand that you guys are very busy, but it has been 2 weeks since I’ve sent the [email protected] an email and still have not heard back. I never got a confirmation email from anyone regarding my order whatsoever.
        Thank you,
        Roland
