Norinco np 22

The NP22 is a copy of the SIG P226, just for your information.

I liked the ones I handled. I've had the chance to handle both the NP22 and SIG at the same time, and while the SIG may have these new generation features, the NP22 was just fine.

I would not hesitate to buy one, if I were you.
 
I have one of the newer Np22's (Sig 226 clone) and have around 500 rounds through it now. I bought it mainly as a cheaper alternative to my 40 cal. So far it has been great, no malfunctions and shoots accurately. The double action trigger pull is pretty heavy, but the single action is quite light and crisp. The finish is actually nicer than I was expecting, for the price I certainly can't complain. I put real Sig grips on it. One guy at the range thought it was a real Sig 226 when I let him handle it haha, and he was no amateur either.
Only issue I had with it was the front sight was loose, but it was an easy fix. It's a good buy in my books for a budget shooter.
 
I'm quite curious what broke as well mine has been flawless a great cheap pistol only complaint was the grips feel very cheap but that is easily fixed
 
Approx 3500 rds through one in approx three years. No issues what so ever. The only complaint I can even remotely muster is that it had some sharp edges when we got it.

I don't like the rail myself.
 
I'm the second owner of mine, I have 1500rds true mine, it's reliable and so far have not had a problem with it.... would recommend any Norinco product.

Enjoy them for what they are.

Can John answer as to when they will be getting fresh stock?

My dad wants to buy one, and locally they are somewhat more expensive (and he's a cheap bugger)
 
Mine runs perfect, (as does my Norc 1911 and NZ85b) 3 guns for the price of 1, even have an NS522 .22 rifle and its a tack driver!
 
I changed the grips on mine and have been shooting it since new for the last number of years with absolutely zero issues. My only fault with the gun is the rough double action trigger pull. That's a pretty minor complaint based on the gun being a da/sa.
