Description:
During the Chinese civil war in the 1920s and 30s, international arms embargoes made rifles difficult to acquire - which led to a popularity for pistols with shoulder stocks.  The C96 "broomhandle" Mauser in particular was popular. The 45 ACP cartridge also became popular with Thompson submachine guns in some areas, and the natural result was a Chinese arsenal designing and producing a C96 Mauser pistol scaled up to use .45 ACP.  A few thousand of these were originally made in Sansei from 1928-1931.  They are actually the same basic size as the C96 (and retain the 10-round capacity), but are much wider and heavier.
