    Too many people get caught up in the NAME thing. It really doesn't matter what name is on a pistol, as long as the quality is good.

    I love my Colts, but the Norinco will NOT be a red headed step child!

    My late mentor, Harry Deal, who just about taught me everything I know about the M1911 pistol (May God bless him and allow him to rest in peace) told me within 2 years after Norinco's stated being imported into the U.S. that they had some of the hardest steel that he's EVER seen in a 1911 from any other maunufacturer. I had asked him his opinion about them before I got one, which after thalking to him I did.

    To bevel the magazine well I had to use my Dremel tool with a grinding stone, well actually I had to use 4 to finally get the angle whwere I wanted it then finished it with the sanding block and polisher then cold blued it. I had to use a grinding stone to lower and relieve the exection port too finishing in the same way.

    I'm not a scientist, but I can speak to the steel in the Norinco being harder than any I've seen before anecdotally.
