1911 Norc are good guns. Ive bought a NZ (CZ75 clone) more than a year ago and got nothing but problems. The design of the firing pin is very "flimsy" and mine broke twice (replaced by Marstar excellent warranty). Then the firing pin retainer fell off and was lost at the range (I felt REALLY dumb trying to find it, like if i lost a contact lense or something!) again replaced by Marstar incredible warranty. Now the trigger system failed and I was too lasy to send it to Marstar on the last 2 month of warranty so now im the proud owner of a 400$ paperweight!!! My advise: if you buy Norc buy a 1911 or sig...NOT CZ clone (or wait till you have the money to buy the original...they are the best!!!)
