The guy who built the gun for me (A contemporary and associate of the late Armand Swenson) came up with the nickname, since it's a Chinese 1911 rebuilt with U.S. match-grade components. He also made the knife seen in the picture, and knowing who I worked for, thought it would be funny to stage the photo with the round metal object bequeathed upon me by my former employers in the ISR world.
The above 1911 was known in my NorCal IPSC circles for many years as the "Gook Cup" or "Raunchorinco", and was the inspiration for several other Limited Class competitors building similar guns on the Norinco platforms. It was actually a term of endearment and reverence for a gun that was arguably better than the Colts or Springfields of the early 1990s, and cost less than either. Ed Brown, Wilson's, Les Baer, and Cylinder & Slide all gladly accepted Norincos for build-up into race and carry guns. Bill Clinton put a stop to the practice, but the baseline guns or conversions are still a good buy when one can find them.
