Time for me to chime in again..........someones gotta stir the pot.
I own two Norincos now, and one Polytech; all are very well built (especially for the money); I havn't tried the 22, but my 45, and my 305 work flawlessly. Quite frankly, tyhe only POS that I own at this time says "made in Germany"......this takes me to my next point.
China is not actually a communist country anymore, that's why we're able to buy stuff from them. They are actually what you would call a facist country, and if your against buying stuff from such, get rid of your Mausers, and Lugers boys.
I'm not pro-facist myself, but really, we're buying stuff from Muslim countries that are allowing stoning of women in the streets, and we're not willing to buy stuff from China...........get real.
I tend to wonder if there is a biast against buying Chines due to a skin colour tainted prejudice that leads us to falsely believe that they could never build anything at the same quality that someone in North America can.
Which leads me to my next point; China is willing to sell us any gun that we want; last time I checked the good ol U.S of A isn't (and no, I'm not anti American, I actually have some roots there).

When you buy ANYTHING manufactured in China, you are supporting a corrupt and oppressive regime. People here never stop to think why are Chinese goods so much cheaper? Low wages, horrendous working condition, no environmental protection, no regard for safety etc. It's kind of ironic that a Marxist country can turn into an industrial engine with ALL of the WORST characteristics of capitalism. Supporting China simply puts people out of work here, bottom line. I will gladly pay a little or a lot more for something made here. People never stop to think that that item Made in China may not be such a bargain when you figure out all of the costs.
