Don't pull out your wallets yet. The CMP has to figure out how they are going to sell them, they can't do business like they did with the Garands. They also have to go through them and work out a grading system. Going to be a few years at least.

From what I have been reading, most of the 1911's in inventory were manufactured during WWII, in other words, no later than 1945. I'd be wondering how those frames are holding up.
And it's not like there aren't other 1911 style pistols being produced. It's an entirely different situation from the M1 Garand. The 1911 has been refined a lot since WWII.
Sure, some people would like to have them just for the historical value, but I'm not sure there's that big a market for 100K pistols.
I kind of doubt there'll be many (if any) Singer or Union Switch & Signal pistols to be had.
