"Fancy" 1911 from CanAm

These are very much like the Israli Arms M5000 that ARMCO was selling this time last year.

Nice looking piece.

Yup... just doesn't have the squared, serrated trigger guard.

Hi, guys

These guns are marked Israel Arms with no mention at all of Norinco. The parts (Darn nice parts, too) are the new Norinco 1911A1-C ones, internals, etc. The barrels are a little more polished, the slide has extra top serrations, the front sight is a dovetail one, there is a screwed-on mag button extension, the rear sight is very nice, the thumb safety and slide stop are the extended ones as seen on the NP29, the grips are the new rubber 1911A1-C ones - quite nice - but the frame is the major difference. Hard chromed, beveled magwell, squared, serrated triggerguard - a real classy gun! The gun also has a Texas importer's name on it. Hmmm.

It definitely has Norinco pieces, possibly even assembled in China, but is a really nice gun for $595, especially with our tune-up on it. Six done so far (2 left) and more to come :)

A good point is that these guns should be able to be carried in the US...

I believe these two tone Norincos are known as their "Police Model" in the Phillipines. I have seen pictures of them posted on the 1911.org forum. Well made and very nicely finished. I ordered one from Can Am today or at least sent him an email to that effect.

Take Care
