It's already started.
A list of my favorites (still to come):
"you're going to price common men out"
"great, so now only the high rollers can afford them"
"That's ridiculous. I'm out!" (and then secretly sends in an order)
"They'll never sell at that price" (and then they do)
"can't you offer something for us common people that just want a chance to hold and molest a piece of history stained with the blood and tears of the great men that made us free...blah blah blah?"
Sean - You forgot the "I'm owed one" without actually saying "I'm owed one" garbage.
Sure glad I've already got my USGI Rem Rand. I'll sit this one out for sure. I paid all of $400 for mine.

Considering the 'market' is in a nose dive maybe a $1K 1911 will prove to be a more solid investment. I for one am going to send in my order marked attn: Mark with a sticky asking for any grade as long as it's a Singer. Of course I'm convinced that only conservatives who all are filthy wealthy and live in mansions will be the ones piling up all the CMP .45's. Betcha they even have their wives, kids, parents, uncles, aunts and every other rich republican in the neighborhood buying one so they can swap out parts and make 'correct' fake guns to take advantage of the true collectors. Yeah, that's what's gonna go down---it's the end of the middle class I tell 'ya...the END.
What will happen is simple and obvious and guaranteed. As soon as the $1000 1911s start to flow from CMP, gun shows will be FULL of $2000 1911s and everyone will think CMP is a steal
