My new 1911A1 (norinco)

There are gun owners in europe, 65 million or so of the 90 million small arms are privately owned.

I hope you don't mind me asking off topic, but, how is self-defense in Finland? That is to say, if someone's attacking you, can you shoot them, or will you get charged with murder as if you were in England?
How about concealed carry?

 

[HisDivineShadow]

No concealed carry and there are duty to retreat laws, BS if you ask me. If you can't retreat and somehow get a gun on your hands you could use it if you feared for your life, the courts wouldn't chew you up. But you just can't prepare in any way to use a weapon of any sort.

dude, no beef with you or your gun or norinco the company, but change those ugly grips!

 

[daysleeprx]

Great choice on the Norinco. I love both of mine.

 

[HisDivineShadow]

Thanks!

And as I said in the OP the grips are going. Alread ordered a pair of hogue grips, checkered walnut.

Thanks alot for your feedback about gun culture in Finland. I appreciate it. Very insightful. Good luck with the Norinco.

My friend, Hakan Pek, in Norway makes very nice grips, his phone number is: 0114770270847 and his web site is:http://www.imageseek.com/hakan/. The set below were made by Hakan for my Colt National Match. Regards, Richard
