Nimco .45

Heres one for ya. A buddy of mine picked up a Nimco .45 cal pistol. Anyone got any info on the history, design and or quality of the weapon. Any info would help him determine its worth. Thanks.

I looked around, nobody I know ever heard of a Nimco gun of any caliber. You have a one-of-a-kind!

Sure it isn't a Norinco?

No longer imported, but generally good quality guns (from Communist China.)

I've got one that was tuned by two different gunsmiths specializing in .45s, and it shoots right with guns that cost 4 to 5 times as much.

It probably is a norinco. They guy who has it wasnt sure how to spell it. I guess he needs to become more acquainted with his weapon.
