Life is good!!! :danceban:
In the last seven days I received in the mail a gunsmith prepped Norinco 1911A1C and a Stainless Sig 226 in 9mm, I am hoping to christen them both this weekend!! :banana:
The 1911 has a nice clean trigger and I think the gunsmith also installed a recoil buffer but am not sure. The fit of the gun is quite nice and grips are decent for a Norinco, although I have set of Hogues for it, but will try it stock first. The finish is fine, but not as nice and glossy as the NZ-85b, this is a pure utility gun. Later I might add a nicer beaver tail, the stock one is a bit sharp on the edges. The sights will need replacing, but the bank account needs replenishment first!
The all stainless Sig is gorgeous, like all Sigs, it fits the bigger hand nicely, sights are easy to see. Will get night sights later. The stainless finish is sort of a matte, rather than shiny. Compared to the NZ or even the CZ’s, this is simple to rack the slide, big and well grooved. Trigger feels good. Since I have cut my teeth on Norinco trigger and sights, this is a big step up for me. I still plan to keep the NZ-85b and will shoot all three.
Need to get a middle of the road holster for the Sig, any suggestions in the $50-70 range?
