Best Norinco pistols

Only reason Norks sell so well is that they are cheap, people can afford them, and have maybe 2 or 3 of them for a price of a quality gun. If you are on a budget, can't lose with a Nork as you will have more ammo to afford. But don't spend $500 in replacement parts to make it more accurate. Might as well buy a mid range pistol.

Check out a range that has rental or loaner guns, do you see a Nork there?

Gunsmiths used them because they were cheap, higher margin of profit when they charge you $1500-2000 for a race gun back in the day. When there were no suppliers of quality 80% frames or fraame makers like Caspian, STI/SVI, Para and others.

As those that compare their Norks to quality pistols that their friends own. Maybe you are a better shot than your friend, did you do a side by side comparison yourself. I think you would be suprised by your results. I kmow I have, and I'll keep my results to myself, but I can say this. Only Norks I own are long guns.

And for those that say trust those with high post couts, I call bullcrap, as there are many users here that only pad their postcouns with drivel or stalk the greetings forum saying, "welcome to CGN". Trust those that actually post information that is useful.

how do you explain the fact that my 1911 norc shoots right with my COLT and that's been fully tricked out by Wilson- I've put about 1500- 2k into that gun - I say more power to norc- and I've been in this game since 1972 in all 3 disciplines- pistol, rifle and shotgun and reload as well- that's a LOT of experience no matter how u cut it

The main haters of the Norinco 1911, are the ones who are consistently outshot by them, with their mid range to high end custom jobs.
Or the ones that haven't had the opportunity to handle and shoot one in person.
Norinco, the 1911 by which all others are judged!
 
and no one has discussed USED vs NEW - I\ve gotten some real values over the years- and most don't require new parts or tubes- I can't speak to 9mms as I shoot BERETTAS

actually ya the gun range local to me has about 4 or 5 not sure should ask gatehouse... I do know his Norc AR has like 15k rounds thru it. btw my np 22 has gone through 1500rds without a clean and still no jams/ misfires/ failres to load. I can say it is more accurate then me, slightly less accurate then my gsg 1911 in 22 but more than my 1936 tt33. haven't cleaned because I want to see if it can make the 5000rd extraction test
BTW to the OP mabe getting a tt33 isn't a bad idea, real cheap ammo, gun cost 200, only issue is spare mags can be hard to find.
 
Norinco products are garbage. You are better off buying a Glock, CZ, Sig or M&P. With some upgrades, you can have a budget competition gun.

22LR kits are available for them.

Nothing wrong to buy Norinco as your FIRST gun. And trust me, you'll be buying other guns AFTER you buy Norinco.

Don't pay attention to jackass statements like this.....

The 1911's are alright, carried a commander as a bush carry pistol for years.....

Another 1911 I had to replace the extractor..... Simple and cheap fix. Ran like a top after that.

Won lots of matches with the NZ 85b......

Some have worse rep's than others, so like anything, do research on them.

Be aware that there are a lot of equipment snobs that try to justify their own over priced purchases and will gladly help you spend your money

As far as dealers, Canada Ammo is probably tour best bet
 
Not an unfair review...still have to say...mine functioned flawlessly..and shot very well...it was so good..I had to have the sig...just sayin.

Makes me miss seeing all the Armco smithed Norinco 1911's for sale on here............those are sweet handling and shooting pistols.

Real proof as to what a Norinco has potential to be turned into.
 
For a basic shooter, you can't really go wrong with a Norc.

I've owned 3 (still have 2) and have had not one problem with ANY of them, especially the 1911 clone I have.

I'm the second owner, and the previous owner installed a full-length guide rod and a Wolff spring kit in it. It handles and shoots as well as a mid-range gun such as Springfield Armory's 1911 Range Officer pistols. It cost me 400 bucks. Ain't finding a SA Range Officer or Ruger SR 1911 for that price-even back when the dollar was at par with the US greenback.

The one fault they have is the magazine(s). They're poor quality, but a cheap and easy upgrade.
