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 hate to bother y’all, but I received the first email from you on 13 February, 2025 acknowledging receipt of my 1911 packet. I think I’m getting close. Just checking. Thanks for a job well done.

        I mailed my packet on 1-29-24. We have had issues with usps “losing” things. I just want to confirm receipt on your end, and not another “lost in the mail” incident. Thank you for your time Christine!

        I sent in an order packet back in January/February timeframe and have not had any type of communication from the Cmp. I just want to know if my order form is received and if I am going to have the opportunity to purchase a 1911. I have also emailed the Cmp multiple times and not had any sort of communication.. thank you very much. I know you guys are working hard to fulfill orders. I’m not trying to add to the workload just doing my due diligence to make sure I did everything right.

    I sent in a completed order packet for the 1911’s around April 2025. I have not received any email back from CMP stating that my packet was processed.

    Would you please let me know if I am in the queue?

    Thank you,

    The eStore is only allowing me to purchase 2 of each grade 1911. If the new limit is 4, why can’t I order 4 of the same grades? I want 4 service grades.

    The order progress page has not been updated in two weeks. I believe you received my packet on 2/3/25, and I’m getting anxious about the process. The only update is that I should have received a purchase offer by now. Can you advise, or update the progress page?

    Also will I get an email when shipment takes place?

    I had my order received on February 3rd and still haven’t heard anything back from the CMP. Does anyone know if they are still processing those orders? I checked the timeline, and it states they should have wrapped up by May 31st.

      Yes our staff is processing the 1911 orders. I have emailed our 1911 Manager to see if our timeline is still correct or if it needs to be adjusted. Hopefully, I’ll hear back from him soon and update the webpage this week.
      Thanks,

        I have sent four emails and left one phone message regarding my Order Packet Status. I sent my Order Packet on January 28, 2025 via USPS Priority Mail. According to their website it was delivered on February 3, 2025. I did not receive a confirming email; however, Dan Cain emailed me to say that my Packet was received, but he did not state in the email when my Order Packet was officially logged in. I am very sorry to be a problem, but I would like to know where I am in the process. Thank you!!!

    Hello! Thanks for all your hard work. It’s much appreciated.

    Is there any way the new order process can include some way to add manufacturer preferences? I realize this is a “luck of the draw” thing and there are no guarantees, but the Round 1-4 folks got the chance to ask during their phone calls, and it seems the kind CMP folks often made a good faith effort to address their concerns.

    I’m interested in purchasing two target M1911. These pistols were reworked and do not have standard M1911 parts. Military armors used commercial parts to make them more accurate. I do not see them listed anywhere with this new set up. In the previous listing they had their own item.

      Those would be graded as Range and we are currently out of stock.
      These are fairly uncommon in the pistols we receive from the Army, so I have no idea when they will become available again.

    Would you be able to tell me when my 1911 order form was processed at CMP?

    Does a copy of the drivers license need to be in the order packet? I didn’t include mine as I read the checklist and it didn’t have it on there. But did see it later on another sheet. What do I need to do? I just sent my order packet last week. Thanks.

    Hi, how can I check the status of my 1911 order form that was sent in early February? I haven’t seen a response to order yet so just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss it. Will the notification to purchase be sent to me by email or mail?

    I currently live in CA but still retain my MA driver’s license as that is my permanent home of record. Can I purchase a 1911 and have it shipped to CA, even though I use my MA license as ID?

    I sent a package for 2 in April. I heard if I want 4 now when I am contacted that I will need to send in another completed request. Not sure why so wondering if and when I will need to do just that? Thank you. Rick B

    My FFL said only one out of the two pistols I ordered showed up. Tried calling and emailing. I’m concerned Fedex may have lost the other one.

    You guys are doing a great job. I put my application in and got confirmation. I hope that’s all I needed to do. I would like to buy at least two more. Who do I need to contact to go from one that I ordered to three or do I re-put in a new application for the other two? I really liked hearing that we could get four in total good times thanks.

    I would like to know if I can send 2 competed request forms for 1911 purchases at one time. I have previously purchase 2 1911 and understand that 4 is now allowed.

      Robert,
      Yes, you can send in an order for 2 additional pistols. If you plan to order those at once, you can just send in one order packet.
      Thanks,
      Christine

    I sent my paper work in 3/28/1025 and have not received any notification as of yet. Will I be able to purchase four 1911/A1 when notified?

      Available grades are dictated by inventory condition. We fully expect to see Range represented in unworked inventory but cannot make any promises.
