Norinco

Their 870 clones are solid.

What is the best norinco gun? I have heard people say it is the 1911 pistol? I dont know much about Norinco products.

I've owned quite a few; the best of the best are IMO the 1911 in .45; I have one in beautifully finished satin chrome with target sights. They other is their NZ 85B. Zero complaints from me.

A new Norinco 1911 will put a Les Baer to shame. Well, maybe not put it to shame, but it will hold it's own.

Agreed.

Likewise with the NZ85B; once the poor Nork grips were replaced, it is on par in all respects with the original CZ75, but with a Tanfolio profile slide. I replaced the slippery Nork grips with CZ over-molded factory take-offs. It is now about perfect.

The hard rubber nork grips on the 1911 are excellent as they are, but mine now wears some NOS checkered Rosewood; nice contrast with the satin chrome.
