Yep and I was pretty sure they'd be in good shape when I first heard about it. At the time I predicted they'd show up on GB at $1,500. Wonder if I was correct?Remember how all the nay sayers were saying that the guns received will all be beat to hell.

You were. And CMP took note and banned some people from ordering anything again over it.
What unit was still issued the 1911A1? Sent back to Crane implies SEALs?Here are some I had in Afghanistan in 2014. These went back to Crane in 2017. The bottom center is hot (cocked and locked) as it was just out of my holster for the photo (my carry gun at the time)
