Norinco NP22, Yes or No

[Max Renegade]

I cant figure out how to make a poll... but i am suffering internal conflict should i buy the NP22 or not?

I would not expect it to be pretty but i would expect it to go bang....(the right way)

Can i get a yay or a nay? Appreciate it!

Good bang for the buck, but expect to run a few hundred rounds through it, before it runs real smoothly.

Mine runs great. Never had any issues. It now has 400 rounds down it. I'd say buy one and go have fun

The norinco np 22 and 34 are fantastic pistols for less than half of its sig counterpart. Chrome lined barrel. High cap mags(10/15, 10/13), interchangeable parts(I don't think sig mags work in an np 22-34 do however) a lot of people who are brand wagon riders knock them, I sold my S&W m&p 9 and kept my NP 22 cus I liked it so much- then bought the Np34. Mags are inexpensive and function fine. Shoot both, u might say a sig is a little better in finish, but the norc works 100% of time- eats my reloads at 1.10 c.o.l, and expensive horn addy steel match the same- really no difference except u save $500 for ; more ammo, mags, shotgun, reloading equip. More norinco products and ammo. But only u will decide and without practice you will miss ur target on any gun.

You can get an NP22 and an NZ85b for the price of a Sig or CZ alone.

And for the best 1911, at any price, get a Norc.

Sorry guys wife won, she came home and said nope and then made me buy a railed stainless regard compact.

thanks though its definitely on my hit list! but thats 2 for today a mp22 and a girsan so i have to be "good" for a while.

Not a single problem with the one I purchased. Clean & oil with grease on couple of points and not a single problem. Accuracy really is dependent on ammunition - I picked up a case of cheap American Eagle and it is terrible. I have 40 or 50 year old military hardball that groups better! Even trigger is just fine without any work other than wolf spring set.

if its more than 400 dollars i wouldnt

Mine has always run just fine. No problems

Aside from the time I failed to seat the may all the way mine ran flawless for over 2k rounds in a few short months. If you are wanting a sig and can afford one, Just buy that. The price of the gun matters little in your shooting expenses as ammo and accessories add up fast. Mine is now the sites gun since I got my m&p core.

What extra mags are you guys using for the newer NP22 models?

 

[freforall]

i buy a np22 from canada ammo about 2 month ago ....put 500 bullet down the pipe and no issue with mine and pretty accurate

 

[Tikkam65]

I have the nz85 b has had hundreds of 1000 of rounds
runs great and I have a p226 stainless elite .
Norc runs great for 326 bucks you can't beat them .
Hell I put fiber optic sights new race grips .
Great gun

Hell yes.... Get the latest version today.... I've been waiting for a while, so I traded a shotty for a brand new one.... Really happy so far, solid fit and finish (maybe I'm just lucky) but I love it...
