The long double action trigger pull is considered “safe enough”. The only safety on these pistols is to de-cock the action using the decocker or by manually thumbing the hammer down if you’re a caveman. Single action is when the hammer is cocked back and you get a shorter trigger pull, double action cocks the hammer as well so it’s a heavier trigger pull. The NP34 and NP22 are DA/SA guns: which means they can be fired from single action or double action. *this is a preliminary review, more detail to come* Basic Operations
Long story short: they’re rough out of the box (and very oily) but you can put Sig parts and/or elbow grease into your Norc if you want to improve it. You can’t expect them to be as nice as a SIG for that price but are they any good at all? But instead of costing $1000, they cost around $300. The Norinco NP22 and NP34 are Chinese-made Sig P226 and P228 (respectively) clones.
