You got a steal there. That is a match grade pistol that anyone would be proud to own. In todays world a gun like that would cost upwards of $4K to have built. It is definitely NOT the run of the mill pistol. It is a treasure for sure.
I haven't kept up with the latest CMP 1911's, I didn't realize they had added a "range" grade - looking at your FOIA request, I believe I would MUCH rather have your gun than an all original gun that was sandblasted to death and and just a washed out gray lump. Great score !!!
The partial "H" on the frame is actually a "P" proof mark. You have a textbook custom 1911 pistol. There's not much can be improved upon. On a today's custom 1911, it may have tritium night sights (front and rear), and a fancy paint job. Also, one can find a lot more grips choices than 30 years ago.
Yes sir, you are correct. Unfortunately, my purchase has been less than a year ago so I won't qualify for a 2nd purchase until I pass the 12 month mark from my purchase.
What you have is a Vietnam era special forces 1911 which is pretty rare! Barsto were and still used for the Marines M45 up till 2017 until retired. Latest guns & ammo just did a nice write up on it however the slide was not a Capstan... just a standard Colt modified. You should look up the frame serial number in Colts register or Ithaca! It appears to be second generation frame maybe 3. Very nice gun. BTW you should of showed the magazine and it's capacity

@five-oonsene545 thank you for stopping by and commenting.
I would not have been to thrilled with that caspian slide ... great video. Nice work.
I also got a range grade last year. Super happy with it, FOIA said it was a 10th SFG for 12 years
Are you in my CMP Range Grade Facebook group?
Thanks for stopping by here.
@@thecoltar15resourceI think so! Because I saw your post in that particular group! Mr. Smith gave you info on your pistol.
Love seeing this videos come out, I get all giddy seeing these pieces
@@Popeye21 I don't think I've seen Mr. Smiths comments. I will have to check it out. Thanks for mentioning it.
My first question is which one? There may be more than one Range Grade group.
Would love to see the FOIA on this one.
That definitely fits the part for being a Delta 1911.
Thank you. I appreciate the input.

Looks like a nice shooter with a lot of desirable features.
Awesome looking pistol sir!!
Thank you!
Wow what a score!
Pretty Unique Pistol 🔫 😮😊👍🏼
That’s fascinating, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That 1911 looks like it was modified for special forces, like Delta.
I would want an original configuration.but your gun is nice.
Delta gun
Great score 😊
Love it. Very envious.
Thank you sir.
Do a FOIA, your frame is marked NM which is National Match. I bet it has an interesting history being rebuilt at Rock Island as well.
I did a FOIA. They would not release any history before 1999.
You got a beauty.
Very nice
Very nice !
Ithaca or Remington Rand frame.
I want to know how to order one of them that is what I want to know
They tell you on the CMP website.

Very interested pistol. If you don't mind me asking what is the cost of one of these pistols?
Cost was 1k
They started round 4 and everyone is allowed 2 pistols now.

I would sure change out the sights into something hi viz.
Looks like it is from special forces
