Norinco NP-34 Review - Updated to include Range Report

I knew a guy who bought an NP-34 these a few years ago, and his complaint was that the NP-34 trigger was very rough and heavy for target/competition use.

Few questions:
* Is this heavy/rough trigger still the case with current production?
* Is the trigger heavy compared to an original SIG P228?
* Is there anyone in Canada that would do a trigger job to lighten the trigger pull to 3-5 lbs?

Here's some more good info.

Looks good. If you lean your shoulders forward a bit over your toes and put more of your weight on the balls of your feet it'll help to make the muzzle flip more manageable. Right now your whole body is taking up the recoil which makes it harder to get your next sight picture.

Ghostie makes it look too easy. :)

X2!

I teach new shooters to lean foward and to "Push to the target" - it makes recoil management alot simpler.

My GF shoots my 45 with hardball with no issues that way, her arms act as "shock absorbers" and her body doesn't rock at all.
 
I'm starting to figure out how to absorb the recoil. I still need more practice though. What a great excuse to go to the range! :D It's supposed to be 10C here tomorrow for the first time this year. I have plans to head out to the range with mu buddy so if it happens, I will try to get some more videos posted so you can laugh at....err.... I mean.... critique my shoosting[sic] skills. ;)

Jack's not squeezing cheap plastic crap...The Hogue grips make a huge difference or so would anything other than the factory grips they come with..I have had an NP34 for about 5yrs and I have no complaints.

Well, I did get out to the range again today, but forgot my camera so, sorry, no new pics or videos. I am handling the recoil much better now, but I still need to work on getting it lined back up quicker for double taps.

I have confirmed that yes, it does indeed shoot about 2" to the left at 25 yards and for the life of me, I cannot get the rear sight to move. Anyone have any advice short of "hit it harder" or "send it to a gunsmith"?

I bring a portable vise with me to the range if I need to adjust my fixed sights. Clamp the protected slide into the vise (mine has rubber covers for the jaws) and use a brass punch and hammer to drift the sight.
