For a first gun in 9mm A Norinco is $ 450. But, as seen in previous posts their triggers need work, their sites are poor and their grips could be replaced. So take the $450 Add trigger work/ Adjustment....???
New sites ???
New grips ???
____
New total ???
(What are these costs by the way)
OR I could get a springfield XD-9 for $ 750.
Does the springfield come "ready to shoot" out of the box?? And from what I've seen is a quality firearm.
So is going the Norinco way better. (Financially and re-sale wise)
Would like to hear from the "experts"
Thanks
 
Get the NZ or 1911, grips are around $26, the sights are not the best in the world, but if you are getting started into shooting, you have a lot of other things to worry about.You will be shooting from 10-25yards in daylight, really good sights become a real issue when you are using the gun for selfdefence in a dark alley or poor light.

The Norinco won't be your last gun (we hope) and will get you started with another $200-500 to spend on ammo, with a bit left over to buy some coffee.

I have the NZ-85B the trigger is fine, my next gun will be a Sig 226, followed by a hi-power or Norinco 45
 
 
Marstar offers a good warranty, but only one mag, Lever offers 2 mags, and sort of a warranty, not as well defined as marstar. If you buy the NP-22/34 get it from Marstar.
 
With regards to the Marstar warranty. I had an NP40 that had some problems. Even though it was past the standard return time they were very helpful and returned it for me. :D
I think they are a great company to deal with and the Norinco line is not a bad gun to start with. Regardless of the the people with money to burn that advocate only getting a "name brand" gun. :rolleyes:
If you hone your skill you can shoot well with any pistol with practice.
