Here are some pictures of my tired old Norinco now that it has been tuned and re-Parkerized. All the machining was done by Tripp Research in Alpine, Texas.
Overall views (note the harder steel used in the safety and slide stop--different color):    Bobbed/smooted hammer and grip safety (note Yost "retro" rear sight):  Flared ejection port cut to live eject (note flattened slide stop pin):  Beveled magazine well and Smith and Alexander mainspring housing:  Dehorned slide and slide stop:  I had Virgil replace the Norinco trigger parts with good stuff. He tuned the trigger to a wonderfully crisp sear release. Nice job, Virgil! Thanks! |

Nice. Not beautiful, but mean.

I wanted to keep the pistol fairly stock to maintain it's military styling and roots. If I'm to change anything from where it is now, it's going to be a tritium front sight and possibly a coating-type of finish. Maybe this pistol would look good in Roguard?

I like it. Simple, yet effective. That Yost retro sight is cool, ain't it? I really like mine.

+1, if i had a 1911, I'd set it up something like that. I'd probably go with a different slide, though, because the markings seem a little silly to me , the whole "Model Of The 1911" thing. |

Looks like a nice working gun.
REALLY like the Yost sight and the bobbed hammer. Great job! |

I dont care for how the slide cut went into the barrel locking lugs. Besides that it looks like a good workhorse, nothing fancy but will get the job done.

Without the shipping the work ran about $500.00. |

Virgil did that at my request. Without this cut, the gun won't eject a live round now that its got an extended ejector. I have a Springfield GI model in stainless that will probably get these same mods. My credit card company, and Virgil, will have to hire additional staff to keep up with me! |

My P12 has that cut. It really does help with live rounds and an extended ejector... I like the work you had done...looks like a soild workhorse. |

Sweet blaster!
Norinco's are the deal of the century on 'lower quality' 1911's. I snatch up every one that I can find. I can always find a new excuse to buy another 1911. SPC Richard A. White, Senior Medic 249th MP Detachment (EACF) Camp Humphreys, ROK |

I bought a Norinco back when they first came out...brand new for $275.
I wish I would have kept that one..

I know they're good quality. That's the point. There's always one that I have to Barney-level EVERYTHING for.

Nice pistol. Tripp does excellent work, see below.
Wave Your DW is a work of art. Virgil is the man, here's a pic of my Kimber, he checkered the front strap and hard chromed it.
