Dear JonnyC:

I found an interesting post on the net today that might shed some light on both of our positions.

"If it has just NORINCO 9mm on the headstamp, then it is Commercial Norinco and the brass will be on the thin side for reloading. If it has the triangle on the headstamp, then it is Military Spec Norinco ammunition."

and

"We tested some several years ago...Results +P from a G19."

It looks like there are at least two different types of Norinco 9mm out there. I can't remember which head stamp mine has, but I did buy it, off of the net, within the last three years or so.

Exactly what is on your types' case head?
