    Cześć,
    The sights are different.

    I got one more question.

    I heard that alloy frame in NP22 is cracking for about few thousand rounds - is that true? The orginal Sig P226 alloy frame are for about 15000-20000 rounds before they can crack. Is any one of NP22 users from these forum shoot more then 10 000 rounds from NP22 and pistol still working well?

    It is true for '228' model. NP-22, not really.

    My NP22 was produced in 2013 [ there is year of production on a slide ]. How many rounds it can take before slide cracking ? - 10k? 20k ? Like I said, the real P226 can take about 20k rounds before the slide crack, but I don't really know is that true - Sig owners said so on others gun forums.

    Different 9mm pistols through history with aluminum alloy frames tended to crack with a steady diet of "heavy" ammo use, meaning 124gr NATO, +P or heavier. I put around 6,000 rounds of CDN 9mmNATO through a S&W M459 with no cracks I could see before I sold it. There were several members who had their M59's around the same time all fail between 5,000 and 6,000 IIRC. Maybe it was 10,000 too long ago to remember. If the 459 was superior I'm not really sure but S&W immediately replaced the frames on the older M59's at no charge though. If my 2012 Nork NP-22 cracks at 5,000, I'm not sure if I'll see a free frame. Weren't there P226 frame issues from the mud rails?

    Last question. The slide of Np22 is made from carbon steel or stainless steel? Is it rust easily?

    I doubt it's stainless. I haven't seen rust, but you might be using corrosive Warsaw Pact ammo. Maybe.

    As a clone, this pistol has many shortcuts. They only look like a SIG. The CZ-75 clones are better.

    Where did you find the shortcuts/shortcomings Deckard? I owned both the NP58 and 226 at the same time, and the only obvious differences were in finish and cosmetics. My Norinco actually shot better.

    The slide is not stainless, it is blued steel.

    Old thread, but Armco does amazing work. My Norc 1911 with an armco trigger is very nice.
