Section 8: Handguns Subject: Norinco 1911 Msg# 1029542

Before Clinton pulled the plug, the ones imported here had "Model of the 1911" in big letters on the slide, an obvious Chinese misunderstanding of American grammar and a real irritant to me.  Those are the ones I was kidding about.
I'm kinda curious about how TJ's got into this country. I don't think upgraded later versions got legally imported. Stu |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Hopefully it doesn't have "Model of the 1911" blazoned on the slide Some did have "Model of 1911A1" stamped on the slide. Others had the Norinco logo and "NP29" on the slide. Still others, especially in Canada, had distributors' names on the slide (sans Norinco). I only regret not keeping one. They were equal to, or better than most US made 1911s, in fit, accuracy and reliability. Early ones had a phosphate-like finish, and had chrome lined barrels. Mikey D tarted up his until it was unrecognizable, and used to sing its praises to us. I wish they were available again to the US. Harvey |
