I was unable to find any posts concerning the new Model 1897 made by Norinco. So here I go. I've read a couple of reviews about it, one in G&A and the other in American Rifleman. While they say it's okay there are a few problems, but it sounds like the new models coming off the assembly line have corrected them. Has anyone heard anything?
I've always wanted a 97 - just because I've always wanted one. Maybe I've watched the Wind and the Lion with Sean Connery too much or perhaps I can blame it on The Wild Bunch. Whatever the reason I'm looking real hard at buying one. I've been saving my money to buy another Sig - the P239 in 9mm - but this changes everything. After all I already own a couple Sigs and several other handguns of different makes, but I don't think I'll ever come across an original 97 that I would feel comfortable just taking out to the range and blowing off rounds.Just asking for any feedback. Thanks.
