The exact timeline of the pistol transfer and CMP sales is not yet known. Earlier, CMP Chief Operating Officer Mark Johnson said the CMP would meet with Army officials to develop the procedures for the transfer and could not offer any estimate on how long it would take before the pistols would be offered for sale.

These were the first side arms issued to me in the Army and I am hoping I will get a chance to buy one or two. They will be rattling inaccurate pieces of history, but still nice to own.
