The Norinco 1911a1, best kept secret in the history of 1911's.

Great video. I have one of these that I bought in 1994 for $325. Tough, reliable and fun to shoot! :)

My Norinco is a Wilson Combat Super Grade from the early 1990’s. Yes, Wilson Combat made a series of Supergrades and others using the Norinco as the base gun.

I found a Norinco in the box at a gun store a few years ago, the price was right so I brought it home. added Wilson parts (beaver tail, hammer, safety, trigger, sear, magazines, etc.) had Novak put a green dot front sight on it. filed and shaped a Colt rear sight blade. now it's the "Norilsonvak". great shooter, lots of fun.

[@SuperColonel91]

I used to have one just like this one. Same box and everything! It was well kept! And it wasn't a bad pistol.

Bought mine in 1991. Dealer put Farrar Tools grips that have a steel insert. My daily carry. The original mags have the last 4 digits of the SN on them. I jave 2 matching original mags, along with the 5 extras i carry.

I recently acquired a norinco 1911 it’s pre- ban like new condition it’s built good like you I would agree it was based off a 40s Ithaca

[@ronstoner1823]

I bought one about 30 years ago. I changed out the mainspring housing for a Pachmeyer, and Pachmeyer grips. The original grips were cheap plastic. I wish I still had it.

Bought mine in 1991. 2 changes. Extended slide release, as I have short thumbs. Grips are Farrar Tool Co. grips with steel inserts. My EDC.

Great take on the 1911a1 , only down side of this pistol is that the grip bushings are not standard if you ever want to swap them out . I've got 2 of them .

[@rtz7420]

Yeah they I need to be drilled and tapped is that what you did

[@marubahoppie]

Yes , only buggered one of them in the process, was trying to do it to fast , and the frame is so thin , lots of lock tight on that one now .lol Brownells has a over size 1911 bushing kit , if you screw up rethreading the frame

A Beautiful 1911.

Someone I know used Wilson Combat Mags in his Norinco and it shoots like a champ

[@James-ki6xi]

I recently acquired this exact pistol a few weeks ago. New in box, clip and accessories are still wrapped in plastic. Any idea what it is worth? Thanks

[@SuperColonel91]

I used to have one of these things myself, it wasn't a bad pistol.

[@davidgutierrez8297]

I just got offered one of these for $500 with box. Im really tempted.

[@gunguide9201]

Never have any problem with this gun

[@Curonianviking]

We can get m14’s, Winchester trench gun knock offs, m4 and Remington 870 clones with metal trigger guards, and CZ and Tokarev tt replicas, Sig replicas and I am waiting for my Sig p226 replica in 7.62x25 tokarev round Fit and finish has gotten much better, forged steel on slide and frames, and a milled m14 receiver Owned a lot of the knock offs, and never had a failure to feed or fire or any malfunctions

[@pourindiesel]

[@nonyabiz9487]

The terrible English translation always make me laugh on these China guns... Model of the 1911A1... Oh so sowwry! LOL

[@mtccorp]

Yeah, and just bet they laugh their ass off at our Chinese. The English language is one of the most difficult to speak or write correctly and 9 out of 10 Americans fail to put a grammatically correct sentence together.
