Im looking for an entry level handgun and love the 1911 frame. Ive seen the Norinco in person and its not bad. Any personal thoughts on the Dominion Arms 1911.
Norinco 1911 45acp or Dominion Arms 1911?

I got one of the unmarked CanAm specials last year. Decent fit and finish. Needed a good dehorningn, but it shoots well. Grips were cracked, so I replaced them with a cheap pair of Hogues.

Sorry, didn't get what OP was getting at. Yes... Dominion Arms are made by Norinco for CanAm.

Sorry if i was unclear, i know that they are made by Norinco but there must be some differences in finish and feel.

Why not? I'd get in on their latest package deal if I were you... come to think of it, why don't I if I was I?

Dominion Arm = Norinco.
No difference in fit or feel, just a different name for Canada Ammo Norincos.
Fit and feel will vary depending on the model of 1911 you get.

That's different: a should I buy a norc, or a norc? Thread. 
I'd personally buy neither. I know a fellow who is new to the game who has a brand new sport model, or whichever one has the extended this n that parts. He was happy with it. I tried it and found it was a very bad rattler with poorly fit sights and a horrible trigger and so-so accuracy.
And I'm not being a snob - I own and love a number of 1911s, only one of which retails above a grand new.
But on the flip side if you outgrow it you're not going to lose a whole lot on resale.
And on that note, maybe look on the EE for one? They are always listed in the $300 range.

I wouldn't buy neither the market is flooded with this stuff......save a few hundred $$$ more and buy a ruger...... If you only got 300$ to spend buy a llama no SAM or Norinco jam-o-matics for me........I'd even roll the dice on a para for a few hundred more before I'd buy a SAM or norinco

Yes i was definitely considering the Ruger sr1911 and am leaning towards that. Been interested in it for a while and might as well spend the extra few hundred and get a quality piece.
What he said. I had the Norc then ordered the SAM becuase of the price. The SAM has better sights, tighter fit, no sharp edges and is very accurate in the limited shooting I have done with it so far. The Norc was good, reliable and accurate but there is no comparison between the two, and for only $75 more the SAM is the better pistol. YMMV.
