That looks to be an exact clone. How many rounds you have through it? Any downside ti it? hat was the cost? I don't think I've seen one of those. I really like my 229. It stands to Sig reliability that's a right fine weapon.

Are the internals the same? Do you or anyone for that matter) know if a Sig barrel will drop in it?

So many questions...so little time,,heheee

i have fired 125 rounds through it so far.no FTF,FTE or missfire.here is a picture to see the durability of this pistol.u can see that Chinese extand the locking block rails to frame rails.this make this pistol very Robust.

Have you been able to see your barrel compared to say a 229 Sig Sauer barrel?

I just wondered because my 229 chambered in .40 I can get a 357 Sig barrel and it will drop in. Same mags and I'd have a pistol that could use both calibers. I hear 9mm might work too but I think you need 9mm mags to do that. The 229 Sig Sauer is a really versatile weapon that way. I was wondering if that one would be enough like it to do the same.

Dear,
this pistol has Chrome lined barrel and forged steel slide which is milled not stamped like original Sig P228.BTW,i dont have any P229 barrel.
this pistol cost me $475.

OK, I was just wondering if the Norinco could interchange like the one it was designed after was all. I'm not trying to offend or anything. Chrome lined BBL, that is interesting. I have never seen first hand a weapon like yours but do own a couple Sig Sauers and was curious if they were exact clones or maybe like the NORINCO,B-WEST,M-54-1 set up to do 9mm and the 7.62x25 round like the Tokarev that it was designed after.

I guess I get a little exited when I see a weapon that I have not seen before or don't have any real first hand knowledge of. Sorry for all the questions. The only Norinco I've had in my hands are rifles. I have a Chinese SKS D Type that uses AK 47 mags. I have been interested in the company since. I have heard they are just cheap knock offs but then I run across something like your weapon that I have never seen and want to know all about it.

The rifle I have is amazing what it can do. And the ability to switch out mags with an AK is a great idea. It seems to me that Norinco tries to make their weapons adaptable to their surroundings. They use designs that work but change them a little to be able to work more than one way. That tome is a really good idea.

Maybe the bad rap they get is more a "hey you copied m gun so it has to be a cheap copy" mentality and has nothing to do with how the weapon actually performs. I hear their 1911 is pretty good too. Here's a link to my Norinco SKS with a Tapco Stock.

Thanks for the info. I'd really like to get my hands on one of those you have to give it a close looking over.
