Norinco 1911 Government

[hori]

Looking at picking up a blued Norc 1911 plain jane government model. I was thinking about the sport but the no frills government model looks so clean. I have not seen any good pics of this model only sport. Are these finished as well as the newer sport models? Marstar has the blued version in stock. Anyone have a good pic of the blued 1911 non sport or have any comment on the quality of these. Sam 1911 is over $100 more and is probably finished alot better but the norc seems to be the diamond in the rough.

Have you tried googling for pics.
Norinco's get better all the time.
I prefer my lastest Norinco, 1911 Sport, over my Spartan, in all respects.
Fit, finish, accuracy and trigger pull, have come a long way.

I have one and its a great pistol. I've had great luck with all my Norc 1911's (6 total).

Only thing with most GOV models is the sights really suck.

thanks for the pics, looks really good with decent grips..
are the sights all black or dots?

Well, not only the sights. The Grip Safety from the Government Model allows painful hammerbite with the way I High-grip my 1911. The standard grip may be a non-issue for some guys. That's the reason I sold mine when the Sport with its beavertail grip safety and better sights, became available.

The longer trigger on the Sport another feature I like although the extended mag release can be another pain.

Mine is the sport model, just the trigger has been replaced and houge finger groove grips installed.

I guess mine is identical to mikehammer's...... Just love the pachmayr American legend grips, sooooooooo cool.. Blueing on mine is great, holding up really well.......

I do perfer the plain jane grovenment look, standard mag release and slide stop, add a pair of nice wood grip made the gun alive.

To answer the OP:
The finish, IMO, is extremely good and very durable.
Has proven to be very reliable. (hard to admit it, but if it keeps going like this it could surpass my G34)

yeah looks good, gonna go with gov model

I have a GM two-tone model, and it's great for the price. If the bluing on the whole gun is as good as the slide on mine, I don't think you'll be disappointed with its quality.

Get the Gov., change the grips, order a spring kit (or two, in different weights) from Wolff and don't look back!
