Hello all, my first post here...
Just spent $450 on a Norinco 1911A1 ser#522*** and fired a clip of Winchester copper-clad today at 25 feet and hit a 6 inch group. I'm not an experienced shooter and was only getting introduced to the feel of the gun but was somewhat impressed as I was'nt being serious about my grouping. Before shooting it I did a simple field strip and checked for barrel peening and general issues and found none but some battering of the barrel-spring housing part which resides just inside the barrel bushing at the business end of the gun. Sorry, my nomenclature stinks...but what I'm getting at is this:
I know nothing about this gun, it seems to shoot pretty straight but if there are any weak points with this gun, just what should I be looking for? Please understand, I'm only looking for basic and reliable and relatively accurate when it comes to this 45, it's an EDC, not a competition shooter but I want to have the kids be comfortable with it so I need it to be safe. Crazy fact is the 18 year old girl is a better shot then me...so I need it safe, and reliable and as tight as it should be. Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated. John
