[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 1605230, member: 5168"] You are correct as to the CMP not being allowed to sell .45acp or 9MM and other types of ammo, but its not because its not made or still stored by the US Military. It has to do with the fact that the CMP is no longer a govermnet agency, but has been turned into a non-profit organization, and it no longer has the ability to aquire handguns or the ammunition for them. The US Military still stocks large quantities of small arms for pistols in .32acp, .38spl, .45acp, 9mm. At this time instead of selling off stocks to make money, they declass it to demil status, and destroy it by burning. Most of this ammunition looks as new as the day it was made, an only certain quantities are stored now to cover surplus stocks of firearms i.e. 1911A1, Thompson M1, M1 Garand, BAR, M1919 series. SW Model 10, and Colt Police Positive special revolvers. [/QUOTE]
