Rough Norinco?

kokanee king

Aside from the sights, my eyes aren't in their 20's anymore, the Norinco is a fine gun. Did you get one of the new ones CANAM is selling? I have three of the older versions and the finish on the new guns appears to be a lot better. Incidently none of my Nork 1911's have choked yet and any of my reloads and one survived a double charge with flying colours - my shorts didn't though!:D

Take care

So I got my "low quality" Norinco in the mail this morning and true to my word I stripped it down and totally cleaned it. However I didnt do any polishing of sorts to it as im going to wait and take it to the range first. Blast a few boxes thru it and then go from there.
Now TDC before you get your panties in an uproar, im going to let you in on a little secret here. The number 1 reason for my wackyness on buying a Norinco 45 instead of a "REAL" 45 is because of likeness. I know I could have laid out some serious coin for a true .45, but what if I didnt like it? What then? Would I be able to take it back to the gun shop and say...."can i have my money back, cause she kicks like a mule?" Im sure the owner would gladly take it back, but id be taking a loss on the fact that its a used gun. So for me the Norinco brand is a cheap alternative to wondering if i like to shoot a .45 or not.
As it stands right now, I love shooting my 9mm handguns. I may go out and buy a 10mm and even a .40 just to see if I like them or not. As for the Norinco pistol, well if I dont like it then its okay in my mind as I didnt spend great gobs of cash for it.
Oh yeah, TDC you'll like this one as it pertains to Glocks in general. Is the G17 a good one to shoot or is the Gen 3 G17 better? No im not saying im going to convert to Glocks but im saying that if im going to have a variety of manufacturers in my gun safe, I may as well have a Glock as well. Having many handguns will also help introduce peeps to our gun club who are interested in joining but want to try before they buy.

Hey nothing wrong with running a Norinco to test the waters. That's a very smart idea. AS far as Glocks go. I would stick with Gen 3. Why run an older model? Glock felt the need to improve on it, so why not go with their recommendation and run a gen 3. The differences between the generations are mostly strength/durability related. The addition of the third receiver pin(second lock block pin) some mods to the frame rails and the addition of finger tabs and a light rail. The feel is the same and so is the function.

Actually I bought mine through Frontier. Just to avoid the provincial taxes :D I was hoping to take it out this weekend but I dont have all the papers for it. I have my LTATT, but nothing that says its mine. Call me paranoid, but I wont risk it by taking it out to the range until i have the paperwork all in order. The CFC isnt THAT slow............;)

Double charge and poopy pants....what a way to start/end your day :D
