I've got three uppers in .22 LR, 9x19mm and .45 ACP for my Norinco. It shoots like a dream with cast!
Here it is with my .22 LR upper from STI.
Half STI, half Norinco. I call it...
...The Stinco!
:EDIT:
Imageshack seems to be down for this picture.
Here's a smaller version, unfortunately the only one I have at the moment:

Shoot from a rest at 25/50/100 yards, then post your groupings. That is the only way to compare accuracy results.
OK here's mine; Taurus PT 1911 with Lee 228 gr TC boolits

I have only ever owned two 1911's, and this one is the nicer, a Para Ordnance Warthog.
Whatever cannot be remedied, must be endured.

Here is my Colt Russian Contract 1911.
The Russians purchased 51,100 from Feb. 1916 - Jan. 1917. The contract mark is lightly struck; serial number is in the proper range. The full Cyrillic impression translates into "English Contract" or "English Purchase".
Here is a close-up of the Cyrillic marking:
When I got engaged 25 years ago, I gave her a ring and she gave me this colt 1911. I knew then I had picked the right girl.

Breaking the rules here, so this is just for grins, and is not a submission.
A few of my keepers. The dawg is making his pick.
I have almost sold her twice, but she is still hanging around chewing up brass.
This is all I have, sweet and simple:
I used to be a Colt Snob but now I'm courting Kimbers.
Of the 5 Colts in my collection, 4 have been heavily customized.
Even so, this stock Combat Commander .45 always warms my heart when I see it.
I recall going to gunshows in the '70s when my family's business was casting roundballs for muzzle-loading and I'd see these highly polished jewels.
This one looks just like the one in the picture in the Gun Digest catalog section.
Scored for $650 from the romanticized Small Town Gunshop, in only test fired condition, I'll never part with it... or modify it.

Custom 'retro' Norinco. Parked then baked on dura-coat.
Harrison rear, Millett front sight. C&S hammer, sear, disconnector, Brown Barrel. Trigger from parts box.
It shoots better than I can hold it. I spent a winter doing the stippling on the front strap and Ed brown mainspring housing. For a stippling tool, I used the tungsten core out of a .50 cal armor piercing round.
