Norinco 1911 range report

[Ganderite]

A friend has just acquired one that has been lightly tuned up. Barrel bushing and trigger job. has 3 white dot sights. Are those added or original?

We shot it today at 25 yards. Ammo was 200 gr cast SWC over 6.0 gr 7625 A medium power load.

We each fired two mags at a target. We were delighted with the results. groups are about the limit of our shooting abilities. Would like to see what a rest or a good shooter could do with it.

It fed ammo perfectly out of 3 different makes of magazine. It fed, fired and extracted 100%.

I phoned Marstar and ordered one for myself.

Yup, my new Commander's a drill. If you can get past the big star and made in China they're awsome. I've had other Norcs and several Colts and still have a very nice tuned custom Colt so I'm not just blowing hot air.

I love my Norinco 1911, and just ordered a Norinco "CZ-85B" in .40 S&W from Marstar.....they may not be the BEST quality pistol out there, but for the money you can't go wrong !!!...and they are still a very good gun....NEVER a problem with my 1911...and so far put around a 1000 rounds through it

My Commander is at 3,800+ rounds (mostly reloads) no issues. I can't ask for more, it's certainly accurate enough to do a job like the ones shown. Solid, smooth and reliable.
