Ordered a Norinco M-77B

[bill c68]

I hope it turns out to be a good pistol. I inquired on here about it before and only got one response. Anyone else have one? At $229 there is not alot or risk involved.

I don't wanna sounds like a tool... But what's the deal with the trigger/trigger guard?

 

[bill c68]

The trigger guard is a tool....
Actually pulling back on the trigger guard racks the slide for you so you could use the gun one handed, that is if you can figure out how to get a mag in with one hand.

 

[alexlacelle]

That's cool. Now all you need is one of those mag thingy's Laura Croft uses in Tomb Raider that sticks the mag out on your hip!

I heard that the grips are prone to breaking. One guy started a thread about how after 3000+ rounds, he thinks the chamber has a hairline crack. People say they like the sights.

i'll have one for sale soon

I'm a sucker for the weird/cheap Norks. Did you order it from Marstar? Let us know how the service is from them. Very mixed reports lately.

I was told the Chinese police use them so it should not be a bad gun.

at the very worst it will make an interesting collector item

You know, just about every Norinco I've owned has been a good gun and a good shooter.

They look horrible out of the box with all the lube smeared everywhere, but once you give them a good cleaning, they do OK.

I typically change the recoil spring on the hand-guns.

The one i have seems to work ok,but i'm still waiting on "MARSTAR" for my replacement grips

 

[Deckard]

Are you saying that owners SHOULD manufacture replacement wood grips? Are the plastic ones that fragile? I think some laminate grips would make it look way better.

 

[spartan]

damn, & I thought I was too hard on my grips. Two of them seemed to chip at the same place (Bottom - by the mag well).

Yes,exactly the same place as mine.It would be nice if we could find some aftermarket ones.

I suspect that you could make a cast from the ones you have and make your own out of fiberglass.

Yup, i'll get right on that.

Step 1: Fire up kiln
Step 2: Prepare mould plate
Step 3: Get sand / clay mould ready
Step 4: ....

 

[Colin]

How about a 2 part plaster cast?

 

[Fremen]

I have been thinking of making some from wood for one of my HG

 

[Deckard]

Any pictures of the grips, front and back?

 

[Deckard]

Why is this 77B so mysterious? Nobody posts photos of their own. Ever. Even when they have specific complaints. I find that weird.
