What is this??? I read from a publication that the NORINCO 'POLICE' 1911/45ACP model passed the MAGNAFLUX test conducted by the RP-PNP last November 2004 during its PNP firearms demo and endurance tests. Thanks in advance.

After weeks of thinking I have finally decided to get a SAM 1911/45ACP COMMANDER to be built-up from completely knock-down SAM parts. My only concern is the barrel is standard and non-chromed, can I have the barrel hard chromed in and out? How important is a hard chromed barrel over standard...

How come when we purchase firearms we do not exactly see the actual unit where paying for? I mean, why is it gun stores/FFL don't stock the actual units they are selling to specific customers? Here in the Philippines when a gun-buyer has decided on a specific caliber and make the best he can...

Ive read in another forum that some 1911/45acp brands may have headspace problems that may affect the pistols over-all durability, performance and life-span. Can someone explain in a very lay-man's term what 'headspace' :confused: is? Where is this found in the 1911? More info on this is...

I currently have a Norinco 1911 and sometimes wonder if im better off having a double stack 1911 for increase rounds capacity. Right now, im very much contented with the 10rounder CMC magazines with positive results. But sometimes I wonder if im better off with a double stack like the RIAs or...

Has anyone seen 'four brothers' movie poster lately? Was that a RUGER P89 or P90? Definitely it was a RUGER pistol. Its nice to see once in a while to see RUGER pistols in the movies. Actually, its the first ive seen.

Posted this in another forum but somehow received very limited response, hope someone could help. Thanks. *** Could not just ignore it but i noticed that the firing pin strike on the primers on my spent casings from my P89 are kinda off centered. I have posted this before and received feedback...

in the event of political and economic turmoil do you feel your country is anarchy prone? in times like these, what do you think are your best weapons at hand and course of actions to take against lawlessness in the streets?

not for convenience, but for reliability & function wise w/c would you prefer a single stack or a double column (hi-cap) 1911?

Im planning to give up my ruger P89 to get a used norc commander. already have 1 norc commander and it has completely been flawless. make no mistake about it though, my P89 has likewise been reliable with over 900rounds thru it. however, i just feel now that the commander 1911 design in 45ACP...
