Sig copies

I love mine. I don't shoot thousands and thousands of rounds, but I have never had a failuresince I bought mine. I bought Hogue grips fro mine though, as I found the cheap feel of the Norinco grips bothering me.
 
I love my NP22 but you should replace the grips with Hogue. It's shoots twice as accurate as my Ruger P89, never had a stoppage after about 1000 rounds.
Excellent pistol for the price.
 
I have a norinco copy of the sig p226 and have put a lot of hot handloads through it and not one hickup. It seems to be a bit of a lucky dip as to which norinco factory your gun came out of as far as quality go`s. I also have (sorry O.T.) a norinco jw23 in .22mag. and after working on its ####ty trigger it is a true tack driver. I think norinco products will continue to get even better over time. I have had the odd remark from rich gun snobs, And i just tell them the criticks can go furk them selves:D. A very good gunsmith from the old school told me he hates working on norinco`s as the steel is so hard, So that is also good news. I wonder what old Elmer Keith would have to say about these econamy guns? Safe shooting, 45-90:)
 
Mine was one of the only guns I never modified anything in (Except the grips, but they dont count. I go hogue all the way with every gun)

I was amazed with the acuracy of mine.

I even loaned mine to an ipsc shooter for a service pistol match and he was pissed that he spent more than twice the money on a real sig.

I suppose there is only one drawback that I know of.
Sig has redesigned some of their springs, IE the trigger bar spring and a couple others I think.

They say on their website that the old design was more prone to failure.

That said, I never had a problem, of any sort with mine, and it even came with a spare set of springs. So If a problem ever did crop up I was well armed to take care of it.

I want another one.

Anyone want to trade me theirs for a CZ 52 pistol?
 
I have a NP22 (Sig226) and really like it. Had it about 3 years now and never had a problem. I've shot all sorts of factory, factory reloads and home reloads, all without a hiccup.

The sights aren't great, the grips suck (replaced mine with Hogues) and the gun is generally 'rough' right out of the box. Lots of dry and live firing will take care of that heavy DA pull. But after 3k rounds, give or take, mine is smooth and comfy. And the Marstar price and guarantee make it a pretty decent investment.
 
I would get the CW weapons SIG armourers DVD which shows you how to do all of your own armourer work. I have an older Sig and I changed all of the springs out for new ones and cleaned the hell out of it. i think it is a superb $30 to spend to keep your pistol up and running smoothly. Its just a shame that norinco does not make an all steel Sig copy similar to the navy model.
