lets see your Norincos

NP 29 is Stock so far. The Commander was done by Gunner and the A1 by Dlask. Both are shooters and are extrely reliable.

A1 - has sights from Heinie, front sight is night site. Dlask Long Trigger, new Hammer & Sear, forget the Beavertail and Dlask chekered & Flatenned the MSH 30 lines per in. Will have Dlask dehorn and checker the front strap then have it reblued, deep blue.

Commander here has Novaks with front night sight. Para Beavertail & MSH, Long Trigger, new hammer & Sear

Both of the above have crisp triggers that break at 4Lbs.

The NP 29 is going to get MSH checkered and flattened, STI Adjustable sights with those glow tube fron sights, maybe a new beavertail but not sure why, trigger pull is about four 1/2 lbs with some creep. Will have that attended to if I don't replace with a long trigger.

Here's my 'one & only' Norinco, a 1911A1-C... bought it when I was looking for a real Colt Combat Commander but couldn't find one...

It shot very well but I eventually found a real Colt, so the Norc compact went to another CGN member... 8)

As good as the Norcs are they just aren't like the older Colts... :p

I didn't, it came that way. You have to take them the way you find them. In addition to the Combat Commander .45ACP above, I also managed to find a nice one in 9mm, too.

Looking for the 'parts' to be able to restore them both to original specs, though. :wink:
 
Here's the obvious stuff:

-slimmed and dimpled front strap.
-flattened & checkered MSH
-high-rise BT
-new trigger
-grip bushing holes opened and/or rebushed, low profile bushings installed and slim grips used.
-FLGR
-New bbl bushing.
-New sights - novak?
-Bolt stop and safety have been either replaced or hard chromed.
-skeletonized hammer.
-frame dehorned and bead blasted
-different grip screws.

I assume the internals have been changed too, but can't tell from pic.
 
Well, Claven, you tricky devil... You almost have them all. Add: Trigger guard opening moved back .150" and short match trigger shortened even further. It looks sorta normal until you pick it up. The beavertail is fitted extra high and the frame is moved forward a bit more than usual. The area around the top of the grip is TINY.

I have smallish hands and yet when I handled this gun, it felt like .380... 8)

Custom made for a lady shooter with very small hands and she shoots it very well :lol:

Gunnar

BTW, where do I ship your prize, Claven??
 
Here are some thumbnails of my NP22 (click on the picture for a larger photo). Crappy Norc grips have been replaced with Hogues.

Here's what I wrote in the NP22 vs Sig P226 thread:

I bought a NP22 to approximate the gun I use for work because I can't afford a real 226. Since getting it in late spring, I've put about 1000 rounds through it; so far no problems. The Norc grips suck though, so I swapped them out in a hurry for some Hogues I found on CGN. Big difference. DA trigger is a bit rough; SA is smooth. The sights are nothing to write home about but nothing that can't be adjusted. Overall fit, finish and performance have surprised a more than a few people, including a Norc-skeptic or two.

For the money, I'm very pleased. It's also working well for my intended purposes. Plus Marstar's guarantee helps me sleep at night in case I bought a dud.

You're welcome. :wink:
 
It is a parkerized Norinco frame with a blued Norinco slide

The walnut stocks are Craig Spiegel's double diamond reproduction of the original 1911 grips.

My pistol has an Ed Brown extended thumb safety and an Ed Brown straight checkered main spring housing.

The Colt slide belongs to a friend. It is an original Colt slide from about 1912 or so. And it fits my Norinco frame perfectly. I tested the fit and I am convinced that Norinco 1911s are a faithful reproduction of the original.


Mr. Squinty.
 
Do it. These Norincos are fine pistols. In fact they are probably the best 1911s around today. The Norincos do not have any MiM parts.

Buy one today and don't be shortsighted.
