Norinco 45acp...

When it hits a steel plate same metals hit same metals it causes it to spark. So when it sparks and the back stop is a fabric type material it can light on fire depends on the ranges back stop

Your casings can hit steel plates only if you pick them off the ground and chuck them at the plates.

Let's not confuse casings and core/ bullet.

Steel casings- FINE.
Steel core/ bullet- PROBLEM- hitting back stop- creating sparks- fire hazard.

I have problems with this ammo in my Kriss vector. The Kriss will eat anything else besides Norinco. I get light primer strikes with Norinco 45 stuff.
It is like the casing isn't going completely going into the chamber. I don't think the primer is any harder then the other factory ammo like WW or AE stuff.
I did chrony the Norinco stuff and it was on average 100 fps less then AE or Winchester but if it was too weak it should most likely cause FTF or FTE and not light primer strikes.
I am not sure whats going on.

It works 100% in my Glock. No issues.

Are you saying that it's 100fps slower than American Eagle? The AE ammo i'm using is 890fps, that would make the Norinco 790fps, yet a lot of shooters that used the Norico say that it's hotter than most 45acp, why is that? What did your chrony measure the Norinco at?

As for the Norinco being dirty, I don't know yet, I have a crate of 1000 on order.
However, I can tell you that after firing only 20-30 rounds of AE from my S&W 1911 45 auto, the outside of my slide near the muzzle is black from powder residue, how much dirtier can it get using The Norinco ammo.

You aint gonna ruin your pistol... I've shot thousands of it and all my 45's are begging for more!

This stuff rocks. Great ammo at a great price. Have never had any issues with it at all and I'm on my 3rd case.

Is it hotter than other 45 factory ammo? Want to know, because I have a case on it's way to me.

To me it seems like any other brand of .45 only cheaper. It leaves a bit more soot on the end of the barrel/slide after a trip to the range but that easily wipes off.
