Just got my Norinco HP9-1
- Thread starter NINE
- Start date
Gotta ask, as I have nvr shot a 12ga, but how is the recoil with that thing? I imagine a full-size Rem. 870 would have the same or a little less recoil than the Norinco. Recoil and a limited budget are the only things holding me back from getttin a 12ga pump. All I have shot is a H&R Topper Model 58 in 20ga. I'm around 6'2 and weigh about 270lbs. Now sayin I couldnt handle one, but its just I've nvr shot one, and that makes me a little leary.
Well, got some prices today from a few dealers near me. I can get an
870 HD minus 2 shot ext. on special order for $270. Dont know if its with or without tax, but gonna go and check back with the guy Saturday I think. I just dont want to order the gun, get it, and not be satisfied or it not fit me well. My brother's 870 Express with 26-28" barrel is ok, but could be handier, and with that HD model I think it'll be pretty handy. Also, checked Wal-Mart for shells, they got a 100 target loads for around $16, not bad. Buckshot and Slugs is gonna be expensive tho probably. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated on whether I would be getting a good deal on the 870.

The 870 HD with extention is usually on sale for $299 in my area.
The Trench gun is readily available... the SKS as well. We have a craptastic 5 round mag limit on center fire, 10 rounds for handguns. Rimfire long guns are unlimited.HP9-1 from http://www.marstar.ca for a mesely $345 canadian. They are a good source of Norcs for us Kanuks, the 1911's CZ clones and such. The Norinco M-305 is also a hot commodity as well.
I wish we could get some of those items that Marstar has listed down here. Norinco 1911's starting at about $265 and that M-305 (semi-auto M-14) for about $325 (rough conversion to US $ prices) The 305 may not last as long or be quite as accurate as a Springfield but you could almost buy 4 for the price of one.

Man- I'd almost forgot about Norinco's 1911. I've never owned a Norinco 1911, but a trusted friend said they're the next best thing. I had a real one but my faimily wanted me to stop shooting it and regulate it to heirloom status. It was hard but I had to give it to my uncle so I'd stop. A real WWI matte blued colt with the lanyard loop on the bottom and the flat mainspring housing. It was my Grandpa's pistol during WWII. He was a pilot in the Army
Air Corps. I guess it was an old pistol reissued with the newer plstic grips. Because that's how I got it . I even shot a magazine of bullets I got with it that were loaded since the war. This was about 5 years ago. And it functioned perfectly, even though they were dated 43' and turning green.
Sorry- I got off the subject but I get really nostalgic thinking of 1911's.
One of the repros would take me right back to the first time I shot that wonderful old pistol. And they're still a wounderful defense piece.
