There is a program which supplies government surplus to local law enforcement. I have seen two examples here.
A municipal department got a few 1911A1s, of which I have seen three. Two were fresh refurbs, the other was either a pristine Remington Rand or a fresh refurb with all RR parts. If the CMP sends out many like those, there will be a lot of happy campers, war stories of worn out guard and training guns notwithstanding.
If you look on the 1911 board and see some of the junk being foisted off on entry level collectors, you would consider a worn out guard gun a step up. Sorry examples to outright fraud.
(The cops don't know what to do with this largesse, the guns are heavy and only hold seven shots. Be nice if they could trade three surplus for six Glocks, but they are not allowed to put them "on the street.")
Oh yeah, the other example, what is the campus police force going to DO with those Humvees?
