Norinco 1911 Ok for targets at the range??

I've found remanufactured ammo can make a .45 more affordable - I pay $18 a box for .45 ACP. Top quality loads - haven't had any problems after 1000 rnds. Reloading myself would be even cheaper, but one has to consider the amount of time I would have to spend doing it.

The last time I purchased ammo for my Norinco .45 it was $16.95 for 50, with the aid of a generous friend and the help of his reloading equipment we can produce 100 rounds for about $18.

As for the gun, you can't go wrong for the price. Mine's nice and tight from the factory and is very accurate when I can be bothered to hit the black circle instead of just the big paper square.
 
if your not going to shoot alot the norincos are ok.shoot them alot and they start to fail.had two of them and can say now i will never buy another one.

NAA.
 
I own 4 Norinco's and love them ALL. :D:D Best Bang for the dollar... I just can't justify spending $1K or more on an original Colt or Para etc when both my norinco's 45 can shoot just as well.

As for trigger job, i bought a trigger kit and it works great :)

my 2 cents
 
Keep a close watch on the EE. There was a new Norinco Police in there last week for $350 or something.

If you are in a hurry, you can have mine for $450.00:D NOT!

I have gone through Colt miltary and civilian 1911s, Government, Combat Elites and Gold Cups, Springfield Armory's, Remington Rand GIs, Para-Ord, even the dismal Vega of the 70s. None were better than my cheapo Norinco, except in brand-name satisfaction and perhaps some finishing refinement.

In terms of reliable function and accuracy, my Norkie ranks with the best 1911 I've ever had, stock or tuned. Barrel/slide lock-up is similar to my accurized, Bar-sto'd competition 1911's in the past. Accuracy may not be as good (but close enough for me) but at 1/6th the price, the Norkie rocks.

I'm a revolver man now, so may never see the ultimate life (in number of shots) of my Norkie, but the experience of many bear proof of the make's longevity.

I carry a Norinco base model 1911 for Bear protection up here. Gun goes bang everytime I pull the trigger. Even the mils spec sights become very clear when you have a Black bear 10' from you with a napkin around his neck.

Take Care

I'm just referring to detail cleaning and inspection, spring checking etc. The blue isn't worn off the frame rails on mine yet, it's certainly not showing signs of puking anytime soon, which kind of makes me wonder about the guy having the issues. I'd certainly take it over any Para I've handled.
