    It looks more like brushed aluminum. I've been told it's technically a "hard chrome" finish, & not "polished chrome". I still love the look & have no issues with sighting in. Maybe because it's a dull/matte finish? I dunno? Seems fine to me...

    Thanks. Yeah it looked like a dull finish to me just wanted to make sure. I really like the chrome over the two tone look much better for some reason.

    Will the shorter sight radius make much of a difference?
    PAL is required for all ammo/firearms sales immediately after buyer states "I'll take it". Failure to do so will result in the loss of your first to claim it position. Shipping insurance is extra and must be requested.

    I've had 3 three of the 9mm Norc 1911s, one was the older style with single sided safety and two of the newer SPORT models. All three were unmodified, and all shot fantastic. Very accurate and reliable, not one ftf/fte that I can recall.

    The only problem I've experienced is with the one I currently have. I bought it used, cleaned and inspected it when it arrived, then put about 2K rounds through it. The last time I used it I noticed the front sight has become very loose and can be taken right out with little effort. It is in the shop right now getting new sights, and I'm doing a trigger job while it's there. Otherwise the only modification is a new set of VZ Operator2 grips. I even use 6 Norinco magazines for it, and haven't had any problems with those either.
    I may be an A$$hole, but at least I'm not a hypocrite.
