| Norinco 1911's, who has one ? What have you done to it ? Pictures ? Likes, Dislikes ? |

They have a reputation as a good solid pistol at least on par with the phillipino guns of today. They have not been imported for about 20 years so finding one can be difficult. I myself would not seek one out but if you ran into one in the same sub 400 dollar range as the entry level guns of today it would be a good buy.
I feel so old some days when we talk about sub $400 1911's and I can recall real colts being around for that all day! |

I have one. It is fine just like it is. It runs great with anything.
I see no need to customize it. Upper right. Geez, I need to do an updated pic of my 1911s. None have the Hogues on them anymore. The SS SR1911 is now FDE. I have a SEAL Foundation SR1911 as well as 2 more RIAs. (bottom right is a Tactical)

I found this one at a Calebas for $409 and it was the last day of a 10% off sale on used firearms.
I added the magwell, beavertail, hammer and ambi safety out of my parts bin. I've been a Glock shooter for several years and just couldn't pass this up since I've been wanting to add a 1911 back to te safe for a couple of years. I've had several but sold them off. This one shoots my 230 grain tumble lubed cast bullets very nice too. I think it will be making a trip to Novaks for sights.
