Owned a Norinco NP-22 and loved it. Great gun. Sold it and regretted it ever since.
1) The grips are junk. I still have a set if anyone wants them

Bought real Sig grips. Then bought Hogue.
2) Like someone else said, Norinco sights aren't compatible. Everything else is (yes yes except grip screws)
3) The new owner dry fired the gun lots and the firing pin broke. He got a new Sig firing pin and last I heard was a happy customer.
4) The finish is not anywhere close to a real Sig.
5) The Double Action trigger was stiff as all hell but got better the more it was used
6) Norinco got better with the NP-22 frames. The older versions had a few instances with cracking frames (granted the same problem appeared in early Sig frames so take it with a grain of salt, and this generally happened around 10,000 rounds).
7) The gun was just as accurate as a real Sig.
8) The Norinco mags were the best mags Norinco ever made in my opinion. Never a single problem. Liked them more than the Mec-Gar mags I also had.
9) Would I buy another one, damn right.
10) Why did I buy a Sig? Just to say I own a Sig to all the Elitests out there
