Life is good!!!
This week I received in the mail a Armco prepped 1911A1C and a Stainless Sig 226 in 9mm, I am hoping to christen them both this weekend!! :D :)

The 1911 has a nice clean trigger and I think Armco installed a recoil buffer but am not sure. The fit of the gun is quite nice and grips are decent for a Norinco, although I have set of Hogues for it, but will try it stock first. The finish is fine, but not as nice and glossy as the NZ-85b, this is a pure utility gun. Later I might add a nicer beaver tail, the stock one is a bit sharp on the edges. The sights will need replacing, but the bank account needs replenishment first! :)

The all stainless Sig is gorgeous, :cool: like all Sigs it fits the bigger hand nicely, sights are easy to see. Will get night sights later. The stainless finish is sort of a matte, rather than shiny. Compared to the NZ or even the CZ’s, this is simple to rack the slide, big and well grooved. Trigger feels good. Since I have cut my teeth on Norinco trigger and sights, this is a big step up for me. I still plan to keep the NZ-85b and will shoot all three.

Need to get a middle of the road holster for the Sig, any suggestions in the $50-70 range?


A big thank you to Armco and TSE for their service, I am one happy camper!!! :) :)

Hey Colin, could you tell me how long it took to get delivery for your Sig. I just orderer the same model in Sig 357 Cal. No one could give me even a quess as to delivery times. Thanks

We have gotten our delivery of most SIGARMs guns down to about 3 months. There are still some models that are backed up due to demand.

Why would he have to be careful?

Nice Sig Colin, in fact too nice for you. I'll be heading to a judge today to get an injunction issued so that I can take that Sig to a proper home, namely mine. All it will take is me telling the judge how that Sig is supposed to live with at least one if not two Norinco pistols. Once he/she hears that you'll be lucky to get to keep any of your other pistols, but I only want the Sig really. ;)
 
It's Ok I am unbeliever and don't believe that moderators actually exist. I am sure the closing of threads and the running of this site can be explained by solid scientific theories and a room full of monkeys :p
 
Well got to shoot my new guns at the S&D last weekend, I am a really happy camper!!!

The Sig looks good just sitting there, I was a little nervous as I hadn’t had much chance to practice with it. My first magazine was all over the place, but the 2nd set produced a group about the size of a loonie with 7 rds in it from 7m. Still got some good groups at 10m. Once I get used to the gun it will improve quickly. This gun really wants to put the rounds where you aim it. The extra weight in the frame keeps the muzzle flip down and the contrast sights are easy to pick up. The gun was a little cranky at first and I think one of the magazines that I already had is problematic.

This is a duty gun so the take up on the DA trigger is long, but smooth, the SA trigger is short and light. The reset seems a little odd and not as precise as another Sig there, but I think it is already improving.

The workmanship in the gun is excellent and the all stainless frame/slide makes it easy to clean and see dirt in the recesses. It also has rails if I decide to get a light. Later I will add nitesights and perhaps a set of Crimson Trace grips.


The Norinco .45 commander from Armco was also very nice to shoot. This is my first 45 so it will take a bit to get good with it. The trigger is sweet and the fit of the gun is excellent. I noticed that Armco has fitted a recoil buffer, polished the feed ramp and a few other places. Another Nork commander owner commented that the finish on this gun was nicer than his. The grips are good for Norinco, but I will be replacing them with Hogues. My only criticism of this gun is that the end of the beavertail is a bit sharp and could be rounded off.

I intend to put different sights on this gun and possible an extended beavertail.

It’s a keeper!

If anyone is seriously interested in buying a Sig Stainless in 9mm, I have access to a new one for this week only, I really recommend this gun.
