"1/22/17 - Latest update on the 1911’s…..

Because of the limited number and the exceedingly high demand for the pistol, and the great level of Congressional scrutiny, the Board of Directors will make a decision regarding how sales will be handled. We have no further information at this time. – Mrs. Judith Legerski, Chairman, CMP Board of Directors"

#7 I would just love a Garand.
That picture of the poor girl lining up a shot looks really bad, but is that a hinge point on the barrel? I pray it is/was, because maybe it is an air gun. Which is still going to hurt her, but not as much as, say, a .30-06.
