The U.S. military will *NEVER* again release surplus pistols to the public.
The last time the governmenment sold surplus pistols was in the 1950's and 1960's. The old DCM program was supposed to sell 1911's but the assassinations in 1968 ended the pistol sales program before it even started.
The current CMP is forbidden by charter to sell handguns.
Any surplus pistols will either be destroyed or possibly made available to police departments through a specific program. That is already occuring. Even then though, the guns are on loan for the department's use and the department's are not allowed to sell them and must return them to the military if requested.
The U.S. military will never release surplus pistols for civilian sales again. It's just not going to happen. (Same goes for M-14's and M-16's, btw).
