Nambu ~ Type 94 ~ 8mm Nambu

Description:
Very good, light wear, small nicks and scratches. The Type 94 Nambu 8 mm pistol is a semiautomatic pistol developed by Kijiro Nambu and his associates for the Imperial Japanese Army. Development of the Type 94 pistol began in 1929, and after several redesigns the final prototype was tested and officially adopted by the Japanese army in late 1934 (Japanese calendar, 2594).[1] The Type 94 pistol entered production in 1935. Approximately 71,000 pistols were manufactured before production ended in 1945. With one mag and holster, manufactured in 1941 The Type 94 pistol was designed for (and popular among) Japanese tank and aircraft crews who preferred a smaller, lightweight design. Japanese weapons experts have subsequently criticized some design elements of the Type 94; in particular the pistol could be fired unintentionally before the breech was fully locked if the sear bar on the side of the receiver was jarred loose and the pistol was improperly handled. Additionally, the process to disassemble the pistol is overly complex and awkward. The build quality of the Type 94 pistol declined over its production run; "last ditch" pistols made in 1945 were crudely manufactured. None
