This topic has been discussed to death, their is nothing wrong with Norinco,it is a great purchase for people just getting into firearms. I've had a Norc 1911 for years and it has never had a FTE or FTF, and it is quite accurate.

As well,a ton of aftermarket parts exist for the 1911, and if someone ever wants to upgrade their Norc, it can be a great learning experience. I had zero knowledge of the 1911 beforehand, and it turned into a great project, the amount of aftermarket parts at Brownells was overwhelming.

I agree and congratulations.
Learning experience may be priceless.
 
I'm a 10%'r too then. Owned 3 various models:
Broken barrel link, busted springs, sear spring bent out of shape after 50 rounds.

I would still get another, maybe, in the future but only for it's frame and replace everything else.

I looked through all your posts Nestor and I couldn't find one where you explain any problems you've had with any Norincos.You look to be a Revolver person mostly.

I do appreciate your effort.
It's right that my main interest is with the quality revolvers now, however I did own:

22 lr pistol
45 ACP pistol
bolt rifle

All of them were made by Norinco and all of them were literally falling apart after a while.
Fit and finish was subpar on the pistols and just ok on the rifle. Small pistol exploded in my hand sending small parts all over the place during the second range session. Steel on the slide of the 1911 after maybe 100 rounds was already eaten by the slide stop - so much for "good Norinco steel". Accuracy with the rifle was on the shotgun level. Yes, those were inexpensive, but You pay accordingly to the quality of those firearms. It's not the rocket science.

You don't know what quality is until You come across a solid steel gun made by CZ or the Israelis for example - those pistols can be found around and are usually priced ok - new gun from Israel under $600 for example. Now, take the pistol made by CZ or IWI and one made by Norinco (CZ copy for example) and look at them fairly. Take them apart. You will understand the difference and we are not even talking the materials here.
Again, enjoy your pistol, stay safe and continue your hobby. There is no reason however to pretend that Norinco is making quality firearms and those who picked them up are somehow smarter than people who went with the quality guns instead. Best of luck to You.
