Waiting for your CMP 1911 RGN to come up?
If you, like me, are waiting for your Random Generated Number to come up in the current (Round 4) CMP M1911 lottery, be advised that this process came to a screeching halt back in April due to an ongoing audit.
Here’s a direct quote from CMP1911Admin on the CMP Forums:
“There are understandably a lot of requests coming in regarding the status of M1911 orders. Better communication is required on our part. We’ll own that. We’ll do better.
Our shipping/fulfillment operation is currently on pause as we undergo an independent third party review of inventory. No 1911’s have gone out since early May. So, it’s not just your order. As a result of this pause and review 1911 staff are distributed throughout the other operations in our organization while we go through this process. While we’re trying to get to all calls and emails, our crew is small. We’ll attempt to post more information here and our site. It’s frankly not feasible currently to review each individual order for status. Just know that they’re all under the same current status: On Hold.
We have no definitive timelines with respect to when we’ll be able to resume order processing and fulfillment. That’s as frustrating to us as it is you. For some expectation, given the large number of surplus 1911’s in our possession this process could take 90 days or more. Please monitor our 1911 Sales Website for any updates regarding the status of our ongoing review and for any information about our plans to resume normal operation. We’ll update that shortly with this same messaging and post more information as we’re able.
Thank you for your patience and for being a part of the CMP’s mission to promote marksmanship and firearm safety.”
