Hi all,
I have a friend who recently asked me about where he could purchase a Norinco NP-20. He has a friend visiting from China and thought it would be interesting to try it out at the range.
I did a bit of searching and saw that Marstar was sold out and couldn't track any others down. Given my experience with Marstar, "sold out" could very well mean no plans to ever import again.
I don't really follow handgun sales/imports closely, but how long ago was it that you could actually purchase an NP-20 new? And if used is his only option, do they pop up regularly on the EE or are they considered hard to acquire these days? I'd like to help him find one, but would also like to give him a realistic idea of the likelihood of picking one up.
