The NP-18 is a Norinco copy of the Hungarian made pistol FEG P9R. Even though the FEG P9R is a mixture of the design and operation of the Browning Hi-Power and the trigger mechanism of the Smith & Wesson double action trigger.{{clarification needed|date=November 2018|reason=Not complete sentence}}[1]

Design

The Norinco NP-18 is a Chinese copy of the FEG P9R. The handgun uses the 9x19mm Parabellum round, which is common in this type of guns. It has a heavy duty forged (not cast) steel frame and slide, which makes it one of the most solid, robust self-loading pistols that are actually in the market, because, unlike the casted steel, the forged steel is made with strength and toughness in mind.[2]

It has a chrome-lined barrel to extend the barrel life, make it easier to clean, and protect it more from corrosion and erosion that a non-chromed barrel. Because it's a handgun, one doesn't need to worry about the little difference of accuracy between a chromed and a non-chromed barrel (which has better accuracy).[3]

The gun has a slide-mounted safety/decocker, which makes it slightly more safe than other types of safeties or decockers, because, when the safety is engaged, it also decocks the hammer, preventing accidental shots.

As an inspiration of Smith & Wesson, the NP-18 has a double-action trigger. With this system, the gun can be fired with yotheur hammer decocked or cocked.

The gun has a ten-round double column magazine, similar to that of the Browning Hi-Power, which was one of the first guns to adopt the double column magazine.

The gun frame has a blue finished steel and a plastic grip that can easily be replaced by taking out a couple of screws.
