cut the hell out of my thumb

[Bobby Ironsights]

Cut the crap out of my thumb on the rear sight on my norc 1911. Is there some reason that the sights are so sharp? If not I think I'm going to smooth and soften with a dremel sanding drum.

 

[BRS9]

Can I get you a band-aid? A tissue perhaps?

Bobby Smoothsights?


(LOL) Sorry man, couldn't resist

I've done the same thing - keep in mind your 1911 was made in china, and therefore it hates you

 

[Jasontheterrible]

I hope you don't get Melamine poisoning

 

[kokanee king]

I bet you got an incredible urge to eat chinese after slicing yourself

 

[jdman]

i did the same thing with mine, only it wasnt the rear sights, it was the backstrap???
Friggin sharp all over the damn things, I have almost drawn blood on the safety too.

 

[ian_in_vic]

I don't share your pain, I've got Novak's on mine, and an STI thumb safety

I've only put 200 or so rounds through my 1911, and no injury yet!

De-horning the Norks is pretty standard...

I can understand that the Norc pistols require dehorning, but what was your thumb doing on the rear sight?

I sliced my finger badly cleaning my Norc M93 .22.

I think we can assume that the price is cheap because they skip a few steps.
Like cleaning up the sharp edges.
As I write this I have a mental image of the workers at the Norinco factory going home after work covered in band aids.

My guess would be cocking it. Slingshot-style would make it fairly unlikely, but if he cocked overhand, I can definitely see something getting snagged by the sights.

However, I do not own a norc or pretend to own one on the internet, but I've seen my fair share of "pistol bites".

Just Thursday, my unit ran a pistol range and, even as the "range #####", I had to make a point to tell people NOT to put their thumb over the beavertail or to wrap a finger over top of the slide (!).

Mind you, part of me should have just shut up and let them do it. Five to one they'd only do something that stupid once.

gotta be carful with those norcs Ricky Bobby

It's gonna be a lot worse if that Chinese made pistol blows up in your hand.

I've never been nicked by my Norcs.....

Haven't had or heard of a Norc 1911A1 "kaboom" either....

 

[--Terry--]

I dehorned, repolished and re-finished all my Norc pistols.

This is the cost you pay when you buy Norcs. But it is a lot of fun at the same time.

Just remember Bobby, if it isn't USGI, your #### will fall off!

 

[OldRanger]

Should have bought a Glock! They love you back

That's an interesting point, I'd never really considered that (I don't think most 1911 people ever consider a "kaboom" a realistic possibility with the exception of overloaded reloads).
