As such CMP has halted USGI 1911 sales.

There's a 2.5yr window in which they went missing? Talk about having good inventory controls in place...

Yeah and 2 years ago at that. Cold trail

I would not be surprised if the Army takes back the1911‘s CMP has in stock.

Gee-whiz, Wally? The US Government lost control of something? HOODATHUNKIT?

 

[Expat]

I can’t help but wonder if they were really nice and really rare ones…

 

[Creedmoor]

I wonder if any of the employees have the last name Ludington?

Those pistols are long, long gone and there is no way they are going to track them down and retrieve them.
Nobody notices this loss of inventory for over 2 years?
Seriously?

Exactly.

I could see them losing 9 and not noticing when there is a pool of hundreds to thousands. but almost 100? Seems fishy.

I mean the Army themselves lost 31 M17 pistols.

I guess it is easier to stuff a 1911 down your pants than a Garand. Still, I wonder how many Garands have vanished from the CMP over the years

 

[KellyinAvon]

I have many questions. Aren't these tracked by both National Stock Number and serial number? Aren't all of these inchecked with serial number verified upon receipt? Stored in a banded crate with serial numbers listed on the outside? It's 2024 so, no doubt a bar-code inventory?

Did somebody grab a hand-jack and wheel a crate out?

Aren't these inventoried annually? Was there an empty crate or the crate was MIA?

More to follow.

We once opened a crate of hand grenades sealed in 1970.
Three were missing it was a bad day.
CID was all nose up in our butts.

I didn't particularly want to listen to the video (ABC was the source), so I am operating at somewhat of a deficit on specifics, but my first thought on seeing this thread was whether this will be used as leverage to stop or curtail the sale of arms through CMP

DoD can be unable to account for tens of thousands of weapons and billions if not trillions of dollars, but because CMP sells weapons to civilians it is a higher priority target for accountability

And this will be the end of the 1911 sales!

 

[rosejm]

98 sounds like a single layer in one of those crates. (7 rows x 7 columns x 2 pistols)

I'm not clear how the empty crates are managed, but my money says they're either still in the bottom of a crate in the CMP warehouse, or the receiver of those empty crates found a $100k+ bonus in their contract.

 

[MrSmitty]

I guess that explains why they're selling Tisas 1911's.........."Gee, I thought no one would notice"....

 

[Eric66]

Sounds like a normal government boating accident to me.
