Norinco vs Ruger SR 1911?

Just got to say, I'm fairly pleased with my Norinco M1911A1.

Even didn't worry about stripping the bluing off everything but the frame, to give it a personal touch; at that price? Why worry...

And all that ammo to get me well started on the trigger time part of the equation... :dancingbanana:

Now, I'd previously stopped in at a local shop and compared the two, and I must admit the Ruger had the upper hand in terms of fit and finish, but my budget won out (I am NOT a wealthy man, and don't mind getting as much as I can for my dollar) and I went for the pistol+ammo that has been all the rage of late... just in time as it turned out.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Should have got another .45 combo, is all I'll add...
 
CGN General Rules!

Hey fellas, this thread was starting to go off the rails. I get all you 1911 fans are passionate about the pistol.

Norcs, love 'em or hate 'em, no matter!

Make your points but please don't make it personal [ie no personal insults].

Everyone is welcome here..... newbs, near newbs, 1911 veterans etc.

Thanks in adance,

im a little confused
and you say that norc wins on parts.
again im lost.
theses are 1911's
you can take parts for any 1911 and put them onto either gun.
infact norinco is actually worse to put parts onto as their grip bushings are not threaded the same as all the other 1911's out there.

maybe im not understanding the point your trying to make.

Well you are wrong on two counts. While you might be able to mix and match 1911 parts specs vary from one manufacture to another. The 1911 is a design and not all 1911's are the same in all dimensions. The bushings are threaded into the frame with metric threads, the bushings take American Standard threaded screw. I have never had a bushing need replacing so the point is moot.

The Norinco guns compete against entry level 1911's such as the STI Spartan, Ruger, Rock Island and any of the iterations out the Phili[ppines and Brazil (sold by Springfield) and are certainly their equal. The steel in the Norincos is certainly harder and stronger and the guns make great platforms for competition guns. The downside for me is you can't take them into the US to compete.

FYI the Philippine National Police use the Norincos (we get the Police Model here) and have done for a few years now.
