Does any own a Norinco .45 ACP 1911 A1 if so what do you think? I baught mine just to throw in the truck because it was cheap and I would not be loosing alot if it got stolen. But it turned out to be a really sweet shooting gun, by far the best gun/dollar purchase I have ever made. Its not the best pistol I own but one of the best for sure.

Norincos are great guns I turned mine into a target pistol. They are pretty easy to upgrade and the frame solid. I bought mine new for $300 many years ago. I have seen used ones sell for $400. I would take care of it if I were you.

I paid $325 for mine used with a box of ammo and 2 clips. I plan on taking care of it but for now its the body guard for my truck. I picked up 2 boxes of ammo and a Galco leather 1911 under/over belt holster from a guy who didnt need them anymore for only $10. SCORE! The holster looks brand new can you believe that.

I love my Norinco bought mine for $229 15 years ago! I reload and shoot 252 heavy semi wad cutters designed for the 45long colt. Also shoot 200 grainers ! put heavy springs in mine and adj sights on it. First thing to do is pitch the plastic grips call CDNN up and order some fancy Colt grips with the medillian for about $30 delivered !! Coco BOLO extra fancy I believe. With the crome lined barrel wont lead up fast either. Hey its not a Kimber but Ive got 5000 rounds thru mine with narry a jam. I cast my own bullets from wheel weights works great. The 252s really go splat in a wet creek bank and keep goin thru the grass like bowling balls!! Have shot it in the fall down a dry creek bed with the amplified ear muffs can hear the bullet going down range for at least a hundred yards bouncing off rocks and trees. Hey a 20s gangster gun in the woods like Bonnie and Clyde Ha Enjoy the Norinco and take care of it
