I had one years back, was on par with a ww2 grade 1911a1. they were all hard steel, no mim parts. Mine was a little rough around the edges, but it shot well. I put a wilson combat spring kit into it, and for the $15 and the time spent was well worth it. accuracy was ok, and I did a little trigger job on it. The hammer,sear and disconnect were rough but with a little work, was as good as my $1200-$1500 triggers. I stopped short of a new barrel and bushing, and re-doing the slide/frame fit. I learned a lot working on that Norinco 1911. I sort of wish I still had it along with my "71 Z-28 I sold ,but those are the choices we make and regret. Over all a good gun, I know they make a newer version in Turkey or some God awful place, not as good as the ones from China.
