Well it's not a 1911 but have a clayco ling hua aks which became clayco I beleive and I xoxo it!! Sorry know your talking 1911s but couldn't resist now I go back to my corner

LOL Thanks for stopping anyway...lol

I have a friend that has a Norinco 1911 and he loves it. Back in the early 80's, supposedly Norinco had more metal parts in it then the basic Colt 1911 did.

Those that have a Norinco 1911, say it's the best money they've spent on a handgun in a long time.

Norinco 870 clone shotguns review well.

Have a Norinco 1911 that was my father-in-laws. Never fired it but it seems decent enough.

They are very well built.

I can't put the Norinco down!!! I originally felt guilty buying it as it was "Made in China" but this pistol has been GREAT! It was all I could afford at the time. Its my off duty, go everywhere, gun and I really can't say anything bad about it.
I was curious if anyone else has one and what your feelings on it are. I've put a new firing pin/spring in and a new pair of walnut grips and thats been it. Anyone else??

Well, I did not even know Norinco made a 1911 clone, but if it works good and you like it, then its all good!

Early to mid 80's maybe, and they were reasonably priced.
