So many questions...

I can answer a few of them.

On the CMP forums, it has been speculated that the pistols will cost between $700 - $1100 each, depending on condition

They have NEVER sold 1911s before, and the last time they sold pistols (M1917 Revolvers), the Gun Control Act had not even been dreamed of.

Part of the reason this has been taking so long is due to the fact that there is a huge difference in state laws when you sell rifles online\mail order vs. selling pistols online/mail order, so they are trying to work all of those issues out.
