Another Norinco Poilce 1911

Was yours sharp along the edges? I had to stone all my edges down because I cut my hands up. Not a full on melting or dehorning, just took all the sharpness of the edges. I will reblue it once I get the new parts installed on it.

Never judge a book by it's cover. This gun shoots every bit as good as my TLE II and several other "BIG NAME" 1911's I have shot.

It is sharp, but the only part I found that really bothers me is the thumb safety.

Hi Bob, the sights are actually pretty good. Both he and I would prefer a set of Novak or Heinie, but that would take a way from the value and in all honesty, it shoots well. The only thing both of us do not like is the orange front dot, so I painted it white.
Actually I don't care if it drives tacks at 50 yards and cleans itself and whistles dixie ------ if it isn't made in North America I can and will do without it. That is the problem here today in Canada/USA - too many people are buying offshore and not supporting local industry and we are losing jobs.

Uh huh, ok then. So tell me exactly what "local" industry there is to support, Para? I think not, they are moving to the US.
Further to that, are you not supporting a Canadian business by buying it from "CANADA" ammo..............?

Roger on the thumb safety being sharp. I have worked this down with a file so it is "melted" along the sides. I intend to cold blue it all when it is done. In the end for the cash, it was a real deal.
As for the whole "it's made in China" part, what isn't made in China anyway? Look around your house, car or work. I buy from Canada businesses, so my cash stays in the country.
YMMV,

I am going to do the same thing, but I might take the parts to Casey at Tac Ord and have him do a flat black finish for me before I put it back together. As far as made in China goes I agree 100%, if there is one person here on CGN who can honestly say they have nothing in their possession made outside of North America, bottom line they are lieing.

How many products does Canada actually manufacture? Are you just all fired up over the auto industry? The company that sold the gun to Steve was Canadian. It would be impossible to buy everything you need/want if it had to be manufactured in Canada. Even if you included the States you would be hard pressed to pull it off.

There's a snob in every crowd. Fifteen years ago we were saying that about Japanese cars...
Great looking gun though... Does Norc produce a .40s&w 1911 variant yet?

Norc makes a double stack .40 cal. I saw an ad from Marstar a few months ago. They didnt get them yet. I think it was similar to the Dark int'l one.
I don't know ---everything in my gun cabinet is made in North America as is almost everything in my house. I am not a snob as Handgunner suggests but I do think that if we were to buy North American we would have a lot less unemployment and a hell of a lot less problems..

Ok, you keep telling yourself that.........!
Do you have kids, do they have toys?
Do you have a video game system?
Do you have an audio system?
Do you have a TV/VCR/DVD player?
Do you have a car?
Do you have a cell phone?
Do you have an MP3 player?
Do you have cloths?
Shall I continue.............!
Wake up and smell the coffee, oh yah, the coffee maker is probably Chinese as well as is the cup you drink it from.
What the industry has lost is not coming back no matter what you think, and since we have retailers importing these items for resale, well I do think that would be supporting Canadian Business don't you?
Hold on, what about the very computer you are typing this with, offshore I bet...............!

Lets see
The computer was made in Canada by my son in law
The car is a Older Ford T- Bird
The truck is an older Jeep
My kids are all grown and gone so no video game --etc.
Don't have a cell phone or an MP3 (whatever the hell that is)
Clothes --- we check the label and buy North American
Coffee maker is a pot that was made in Barrie Ont 40 yrs ago
My cups were made in Sparwood by a friend who makes pottery and dishes
My transport was made in Kelowna by Western Star
We Buy NORTH AMERICAN when we can or do without
Any more comments about me being a snob --- bullcrap --- I am a working stiff who thinks we should try to keep our own economy afloat.
Now you can go back to your regular programming.
