Well the fit and finish might not be as good as brand name guns but the darn thing goes bang everytime I pull the trigger.

The only markings on it is 1911A1 on the left side and serial number on the right.I got the gun,two 7 round mags and 500 rounds of ammo for only$529.99.
I now some guys up here snub their noses at these Norinco pistols but hey I'm having fun with it and that's what it's all about.

Hello, It's not my cup of tea. But, as long as you are happy with your pistol, fuc what others think or say. Good luck..... is all I have to say. Play safe...

I've never heard anything bad about the Norinco 1911s. In fact I've heard nothing but great things about them. Supposedly super accurate and the frames are supposed to be top notch for race guns. That's just what I have read but as long as it works then who cares.

Reliable and accurate are the only things I require of a modern firearm. It sounds like a great deal if it meets that criteria. Congrats!

If I ever come across a Norinco 1911 for a reasonable price I'll buy it in a heartbeat. There's a reason why when Wilson Combat was much smaller one of the few pistols they would customize was the Norinco. My best friend from high school has had one near twenty five years and it's been flawless after many rounds. That's a damn fine 1911.

The important part is the frame. Are the holes in the right places? Is it correct size relative to height, width and length? Is the steel the right strength (hardness) ? If so , I don't care where it was made or who made it. I have a Springfield Armory .45 that had to have virtually all it's internal parts replaced so it would work properly.

Norincos were the basis for a lot of custom 1911's back in the 80's, from combat types like Bill WIlson's to race guns like Les Baer's.

Bwahahahaha..

Looks like I'm gonna need more practice because it looks like a spray and pray at 15 yards..

Spray and pray huh? You must play Call of Duty online too.

You'll get better. Trigger control on a 1911 is a little tricky to get used to, but once you get a smooth crisp break I'm sure your groups will tighten up. As clean as the Norc looks, the trigger may not be broken in yet either.

Yeah I agree with razor, it'll tighten up with practice. 1911's just handle a little different, in a good kind of way.

Nothing wrong with a "cheap" 1911 is it functions well. A year or so ago i bought a ATI commander 1911 from psa for $300 and it's been great. Definitely not as smooth as some higher end 1911s but that doesn't bother me.
