Picked up my CMP Round 3 - Colt frame with GI replacement slide ( NUMAX ELECTRONICS INC NEW YORK, NY 10118-0110) - Service Grade

Mailed via US MAIL 1st class the forms on day 1
Received confirmation number 333XX. early Oct
Received call a couple of days later.
FFL received box 1 day after that.

Very happy with it.. Looks like the replacement slide was installed and it was hardly ever shot!

The DoD Small Arms/Light Weapons Registry history only goes back to 1975 when the Registry was started.

1. July 21, 2010 – The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Distribution - Anniston, Alabama received the weapon from the Crane Division Naval Surface Warfare Center - Crane, Indiana.

2. March 06, 2011, December 03, 2011, January 19, 2013, March 07, 2015, May 01, 2016, March 05, 2017, June 04, 2017, March 31, 2019, April 26, 2020, and April 25, 2021 – The DLA Distribution - Anniston, Alabama conducted annual weapon serial number reconciliations on the weapon.

Received from the Navy FOIA request.

SX1395 - DLA DS (Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services ) Crane, IN
R09345 - SEA CONTROL SQUADRON - VS 35, San Diego, CA
REPAIR - My guess is the replacement slide happened around 09/14/79.

Looks like this M1911A1 was with fleet operations in the Gulf War.

Perhaps this served with “Navy One”!

Once recovered an F-18 Hornet fighter from the USS Midway at Al Dhafra Air Base UAE about a week before Desert Storm kicked of; the pilot had a 1911 strapped on his shoulder rig holster. If your 1911 could only talk...
