1911 Program

February 27, 2019

Civilian Marksmanship Program▸Sales▸1911 Program

I just wanted to compliment your team again on their skill in dealing with “the public” on the 1911 forums.

Your ability to maintain patience when dealing with “stupid” and still be kind and understanding with indignant jerks deserves a promotion and increased pay grade.

It’s such a pleasure to see yall do such a superb job. Even at my age, watching the way you administer the program teaches me much. Pretty cool!

Thanks to you and after decades wanting to get my father a USGI 45 like he carried in Japan & Korea, I finally get to pay homage due him. And as a disabled vet of nuke testing, owning a piece of that history is a dream come true. (Both parents [now deceased] and myself gave our lives/health for this country’s nuclear weapons program.)

I appreciate you guys running the program so well and reminding me that being respectful always pays dividends, even when we have to deal with depths of stupidity and indignace we never dreamed possible.

Good to know and see that CMP exemplifies the value of “values” every day. Your more inspiring than you may realize! 

Thank you,
