I just got mine; I'm leaving it in the bag for a special reason......it and the ammo are a gift for a friend. This deal is literally the best deal the Canadian market has ever seen. People complained about the grips; Can Am placed a spare free set of decent rubber grips in the package! You also get a free stack of targets, and 2 magazines of very high calibre......pun intended (it's a new Canadian mag called Calibre).
Can Am hit it so far out of the ballpark with this one, nobody will ever find it!

I also got mine today. Cleaned it all up and replaced it with the black rubber grips that was put in the package. Good thing. Upon taking off the stock plastic grips one of them was cracked and broke through the bottom screw hole. Just tossed those but the rubber grips look great. Fit and finish of the gun nice. No problems with disassembly or reassembly or cleaning.

Can't wait to get out shooting it.

Thanks Canada Ammo
 
I just bought another package deal to refinish the gun like i did this one... just for fun. Plus, with a new kriss in the stable more 45acp is always welcome.

Both my grips were broken also. I just went over to Eagle hunting in Richmond and bought a pair of Hogue government rubber grips for 20 bucks. Gun looks great now, can't wait to shoot it.

One of the variables in a 1911 is the trigger length. The CanAm pistol (bottom picture) has a "short" trigger. It would best fit a small hand. The middle picture is the Norinco "Sport" model, with a "medium" length trigger. The top pistol, is a Can Am on which I have replaced the short trigger with a long one. This suits my hand best.

The CanAm pistol has a stock Colt 70 Series front sight and a stock Colt rear dovetail. On a number of my Norinco pistols I have replaced both sights. This is a picture of an adjustable sight. A LPA, I think, but not sure.

Yeah, original grips are prone to breakage. One of my orders had broken grips, Chris said he would sent a replacement set but they never arrived.

The stock grips are very brittle & IMHO not worth having anyway, even if intact. No worries as there are literally hundreds of different replacement grips for the 1911 available, as the second quoted post above discusses. Most people want to replace the stock grips with ones that better suit them anyway.

I went with a set of real USGI 1911A1 replacement grips for the "old school" look on mine:

Grips aside, this Norc 1911A1 is still bar none the best deal going for a 1911A1 pistol in this country at this time.

For anyone wondering, I cut the hammer spring by 2 coils and it significantly lessened and, in turn, smoothed out the trigger pull. Also, make sure you open that area up and clean it out. Mine was badly gunked up and rusted which, I have to think, was making the hammer action rough.

I was thinking about cutting a coil or two off mine as well, but I've been reading about how some people say it's "bush league". I'm still considering doing it anyways, despite what people say, but what are the benefits of cutting it and what would be the possible disadvantages? I guess I could make a mistake and cut too much off, but is it really spending an extra $15 or so to get a mainspring already set at a certain weight?
