JANUARY 28, 2025

Key Details:


  • Pistol Availability: The CMP currently holds a substantial inventory of a variety of Pistol Grades, many ready to ship to consumers, and expects to fulfill a significant quantity of orders.
  • Free Shipping: Those purchasing a CMP M1911 pistol will receive free shipping and handling (a $25 value).
  • Updated Process: Given the quantity of on-hand pistols, we reorganized our sales fulfillment structure and our staff is ready to process orders in a timely manner without the use of the Random Generated Number (RGN) process, as in past M1911 sales. Additional detail on fulfillment information and sequencing follows below.
Fulfillment Information:

  • Round Four Orders Fulfilled First: The CMP will prioritize fulfilling existing orders from Round Four and will honor the pricing of those orders. Starting this week (Jan. 27, 2025), the CMP M1911 customer service representatives will contact Round Four individuals to confirm order details.
  • New Orders Now Accepted: Effective immediately, the CMP is accepting new applications on a first-come, first-served basis. Again, we do not anticipate having more “rounds” or using RGN numbers as in the past.
Purchasing Guidelines:

  • Limitations: A lifetime limit of two pistols per customer remains in effect. Customers who have not previously purchased a pistol may now submit an order for up to two pistols.
  • Upgrades for Round Four Customers: Existing Round Four applicants making their first purchase may also upgrade their order to include two pistols.
CMP 1911 staff will reach out to customers when their order is ready to process. At that time, customers will indicate the pistol grade and quantity with CMP 1911 staff.

The CMP encourages all interested individuals to submit their applications promptly. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of history!

SOLD NIB Aero Solus 6 creed + alpha brass $1325 shipped

Prices include shipping.
Brand new 26” 6creed Solus in a Black KRG Bravo. Comes with everything from the factory + trigger hanger and I’ll through in 100 primed Alpha 1x fired 6 creed brass with CCI450s. Also have the trigger hanger to throw in.
Dropped to $1325 shipped!
*looking for a nice tripod if you got one for trade value
I actually think these are an awesome value and really has every feature you could want in an action. Nice smooth bolt lift too. Reason I’m selling is I bought 2 ARC CDG’s and just like them slightly more. Really came down to looks.

It was kinda of a tough choice between the CDG and the Solus because the Solus has all the same features as the CDG but if you need a barrel, Solus prefit barrels are cheap, shoot great and easy to find.

I actually have a few prefit barrels available.

2x NIB Aero 20” M24 308 barrels $275 each
1x used 223 26” proof research comp 300rds on it $400 sold

Aero Solus Rifle: $1475 $1325 shipped SOLD

Suppressors Short and light 9mm pistol suppressors roundup Jan 2025

Updated 7/16/25
Ok, so I’m looking for the absolute shortest and lightest 9mm pistol can* that's all titanium…or maybe SS (added that last bit on 7/16//25, for ease of cleaning).

For comparison, I have the truly tiny Gemtech Aurora II, which is awesome, direct thread (no booster), and works fine with my Glock. Of course, this is an aluminum-bodied wipe+lube suppressor, so it’s for emergencies only. I’m looking for something that doesn’t wear out so fast and require repacking.

The Elephant in the F*****G Room

The Elephant no one talks about, not in government and not in the media. High prices for Food and Gas. Why?? Very simply, it's supply and demand, with some Bidennomics thrown in. When 15,000,000 people invade our country ILLEGALLY in 4-years (that's my number and I'm sticking to it), they all have to eat, and they all have to drive around. And who funds them? Talk to the Mexican cartels. What the fuck do I know.

And it's all supply and demand baby. the suppliers will get however much they can while it lasts. It's a free country after all..
