Today I fired my NIB blued Norinco, with the end result that it is now no longer NIB. I loaded 45 rounds and it went bang 45 times with no function issues. I haven't fired a 1911 in about 20 years. It was such a pleasant shooting experience. My limited handgun experience in the last 20 years has been primarily with .44 Magnum Super Blackhawks. I did notice that the right grip was moving a bit, even though I tightened both sides before shooting. I noticed another thing. Due to my lack of experience in recent years with the 1911, this could be normal, but I have no idea. I noticed that when the magazine was loaded and locked in, it could move up and down a bit. If you push the magazine up till the front of the baseplate is tight to the frame, it can drop downward a distance equal to about the thickness of the magazine baseplate. I never noticed this with the magazine empty.
