Question about Norinco 1911
- Thread starter faizi

In my experience with mine: yes. No difference whatsoever since it's a COPY of the same design used by the more expensive models.
I would put mine up against any other stock 1911 with regard to accuracy, reliability and safety anyday.

My thumb safety is not reliable. It can happen with any brand but I am not sure that the guys who make/fit the parts know their purpose.
...and I wouldn't call it a high quality 1911; good for the price, but the fitting is average at best. The employee who sold it to me said honestly "Sir, they are economical guns".

I've had thumb safeties that dropped in and worked perfectly, and others that I let someone skilled sweat and swear over. With Norcs my experience has been good in that regard. That said, "if your thumb safety is 'not reliable' get thee to a pistolsmith forthwith" is worth repeating.
I'll take you up on that challenge.
And I'll even let you pick which one of my three stock 1911s that I get to use. (S&W 1911, STI Trojan or Kimber Stainless Target II).
Let's see if you have the parts to 'put your money where your mouth is'.....
While I suppose it could be said that the S&W 1911, STI Trojan and Kimber Stainless Target II would be "stock" if they were as they were issued by each individual manufacturer, I'm wondering if he meant a 'stock' 1911, as in, mil-spec issue [i.e. no adjustable sites, ambi safeties or other "improvements"].................
