Canada Ammo 1911 pics / Range report updated!!!

[Dean_1911]

Wow beautiful looking 1911's! love the look of the two-tone and they look like they shoot pretty good too

I looks like Norinco "borrowed" the design of the King's ambi-safety.

Nice gun, but...



Exactly how long do you have before it falls apart like that on it's own?

Overall they are a nice looking 1911.... Even nicer with the wood stocks installed...

Although. the first thing I'd do is swap out the lame extended slide stop for a standard one just like I did on my Norc NP-29 [single stack 1911A1 in 9mm].............

Yeah that extended slide release has got to go! I put a Wilson on my NP 29.

I also much prefer the blued version, the 2 tone is a little garish IMHO.

The other thing I noticed is that the thumb safeties have quite an edge on them, might be time for a little dehorning with the Dremel.

I'd probably take it out altogether and put a standard Colt thumb saftey in it anyway.

Canada Ammo - Does anyone there answer their toll free number on Saturdays? Called twice this morning to place an order but just get voice-mail. Anybody got the "skinny" on how to get an order done?

We use a great thing called "Internet".

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Here is my results. It's also from CanAm's new 1911 (all black).

I tried two loads, first is high speed load: 200gr RN cast lead bullet, 7.8 gr (!!!!) Longshoot powder.

The reload chart says the bullet speed should be 1,000fps ~ 1,100fps. Very high for 45ACP. However, the recoil is not hash at all. It's a nice surprise.

Then I tried something more routine: 200 gr RN with 4.4gr Clays powder. Very accurate. Being a scoped rifle shooter, I still had very hard time using pistol iron sight. I say my Norc 1911 is as accrate as the one belongs to Maple Sea. However I can't shoot a pistol well yet.

M Sabre.... Those are actually pretty respectable targets. The plus is your shooting can only improve with practice.

You guys have me sold.... I'm ordering an all blued one first thing tomorrow...

 

[imbane]

I'd be very happy if I could shoot well like you guys...

 

[heavyBullet]

I so need to take my restricted course.

 

[proonur]

Try going with a 230 grain bullet load. My Norc likes 230 gr. cast lead bullets with about 5.5 or 5.6 grains of Unique. Sorry no pics of the results, but I can tell you they shoot real nice, but a bit lower than factory ammo for some reason.

I don't think Jeff Cooper would buy a Norinco.

I don't think Jeff Cooper would buy a Norinco.

i think he would

 

[CanAm]

He won't be buying anything where he is.

I was in Buffalo Gun Center last week.

They have a old GI model Norc 1911, NIB but the finish is much rougher compare the new 1911s from CanAm.

That 1911 is labeled "699USD ONLY"!!!
