This is my big concern. Some of these military pistols have fired so many rounds through them that they are unserviceable.

I fired one that was so worn that a single trigger pull fired two rounds, which was extremely unnerving. A ranking officer didn’t believe me, so he tried the pistol and the same thing happened. I was very glad that I was not on the receiving end of that righteous snarl directed at the armorer.

The CMP fully inspects all the firearms they sell for safety and to guarantee parts are within spec. They also gauge the barrels for wear, and worn barrels are either replaced/swapped, or sold as worn out. I bought my service grade Garand and 1903A3 Springfield through the CMP and both were in fantastic shape and very accurate.
