Here is my Norinco 1911 project. I know most on here hate norinco's but with a little elbow grease they can be a nice platform for cheap. I replaced some internals with ed brown/wilson combat parts. G10 grips were $13 on aliexpress. Compensator was $20 on ebay. Mag well was $10 on ali express. And i used VHT header paint (3 coats, air dried for one hour then baked for 30 min at 350, then cool to touch, then baked again at 400 for 50 minutes and let air dry). Brownells magazines and the trigger is an ed brown. She functions perfect and is more accurate then I am. The color scheme is a little odd, but the VHT paint did not have that many options, at the very least its unique looking. Paint seems to hold up well, couple nicks from a punch when assembling it but it holds up to holster wear and tear. Let me know what you think!
That could be the ugliest 1911 I have ever seen, but god bless you sir for adding another 1911 to this world. Plus it could probably pass as a toy if a Canadian trooper ever spots it in your car lol
first thing my buddy said! lol ill likely change the colors to OD green and FDE but this was just to try a cerakote equivalent paint as an experiment. Pretty easy to strip off.

Actually Norincos are good guns, Lots of folks myself included used them as a base for custom work. I have it on good authority they are made of good steel..
the vht was 10$ a can..cerekote in canada cost me over 50$ a can each plus 50$ shipping. So this was just a test, they had these two colors or.gold and white lol
My gut reaction was that, just as realistic toy guns are dangerous because they can be mistaken for real guns, this one is dangerous as it may be mistaken for a toy gun.
The type of compensator you placed on the gun is called "a bushing compensator" and does very little to dampen recoil. If you want a full profile compensator that works, you need the hole at the end of the comp to be a few thousandths bigger than a .452" bullet, and attaches to a threaded barrel. This is called an expansion chamber comp, and they do help to reduce muzzle lift.
Personally, I would remove the current comp you have on the gun, since it has little benefit, and those that know guns will not be impressed.....

I think I’d keep it like that. I’d drop the compensator and work on making it super accurate. It says to the world that a confident man with an accurate pistol doesn’t give a crap about making it look like every other one on the firing line.
It is um well... very personalized. Definitely different.
Good for carry, if you got a gig as Ronald McDonald.
