    Thanksgiving day miracle

    I can't believe it. Obama must not have known what he was signing. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2...g-day-miracle/

    To me this is unprecedented and I can see antis having a problem in the future around the country trying to deny US citizens access to semi auto handguns that the government is willing to sell to us. They sell them to us because it is our right to own them.

    It would be nice if we could request specific serial numbers. I know I would like to have "my" 1911A1 back. S/N 2225478 if anybody finds it.

    (1) ONE-YEAR AUTHORITY.—The Secretary of the Army may carry out a one-year pilot program under which the Secretary may transfer to the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety
    not more than 10,000 firearms described in paragraph (2)

    With them only selling 10k of them a year, the demand for them with be high for some time. I would love to see prices drop, but wouldn't expect it. Also, since it is only a one year pilot program, expect the antis to be a howling poo flinging mob to make sure it doesn't renew.

    Unless I misread this, it only authorizes the sale of 10,000 1911s. They'll be gone in the first hour.

    Would love to get my greedy little hands on at least 3 of them. Of course to the MSM, 1 is an arsenal.

    Bingo! Thought this thread was about a REAL miracle.

    A visit to North or South store would be in order. I'm not too sure if I would want to do the "Luck of the Draw" thing on a milsurp 1911. I imagine the degree of wear and tear would be all over the map, just like the Garands are/were. Yes I have got some good ones by luck of the draw, but have also received some that weren't so nice, and that's putting it mildly. Too bad the CMP doesn't have a store in AZ....
