The M1911A1 from the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) came with a GI replacement slide. With production of complete 1911 pistols for the US military stopped after World War II, a replacement slide refers to any slide manufactured post war and mated to a WW2 or prior frame. With improvements in metallurgy and heat treating processes, these slides are generally more durable than original slides and have a longer expected service life. While they may be less collectable than WW2 or prior dated slides, the replacement slides are better if you intend on shooting your CMP 1911.
