Wow....$99 pistol....Norinco M213

[guess_kto]

Safety is garbage, I had so many problem with it, that I took it off and fixed the frame (you would never guess that it had safety). Nevertheless, I had so many issues with chinese TT that I was really pissed off and painted it in funky colour (neon-green). I'm getting this one! Surprise for my wife: I'll get it fix (slide, no ####ty safety) and I'll paint (duracote) it pink!

I'll paint (duracote) it pink!

yeah, pink is nice.

 

[Onagoth]

You may also end up being the guinea pig in picking pieces of steel out of your teeth when this POS explodes in your hands. Personally, I wouldn't even stand next to someone shooting a $99 pistol.

There is a regular poster on the newsgroup rec.guns named Clark Magnusson. He has the amusing hobby of overloading various types of ammunition and testing the corresponding firearms to destruction. When he came to 7.62x25 mm ammunition, he discovered that the highly regarded CZ52 was so fundamentally weak as to kaBoom even under strong factory loads. The ancient Mauser C96 Broomhandle (7.62x25 is dimensionally identical to Mauser 7.63x25 but loaded to much higher CUP) was able to withstand all but the most powerful overloads. As for the cheap, maligned Tokarev, he simply could not cram enough powder into the case to damage it in the slightest.

just thinking about a stack of mag's loaded with the hottest 9mm factory loads, some welding gloves, a face shield, body armour and a clear fireing line at the range makes me giggle like a school boy.... for $100 you really cant go wrong..

and BTW there are alot of pieces of crap out there that cost 3x as much...

 

[savagefan]

I want one for bear defense.

I wonder if it is a typo? Maybe $99 was supposed to be $199.

I suppose my odds are the same as everyone else.....

 

[rustysdream]

I just found this test target on the Internet. Three double tap groups.
Wow. Not bad for $99.00.

Maybe I will label them "Match Grade"

 

[P12]

If it comes without a safety I'm buying one. Sure, its no HK , but at that price its a good entry gun and accurate too. When I save up some money I'll buy a nice 1911, but for now this will do.

Any chance to get the stainless steel "Custom deLuxe" model?

Any chance to get the stainless steel "Custom deLuxe" model?

Is it "stainless steel" or is it just "in the white" steel?

 

[CRAZYLOCH]

I like this stainless Nork 213 (I saw it on a website, it's not mine.)

DAMN, Not too shabby! For $99 i am geting one.

BUT for real, this pistol has been in use for CHINA's military for many yeas and is FEARED by the HK police, it shoots straight and well ..."Black Star" is its nickname.

 

[CRAZYLOCH]

yeah, pink is nice.

OMG now my wife wants one!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Greaves024]
