	Nambu pistol - Biocrawler
		The Nambu pistol was a semi-automatic pistol used by the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy during the First and Second World Wars.
		Although the Nambu bears a superficial resemblance to the German Luger, the Nambu was not based on the Luger's design.
		The Nambu was not the equivalent of 1911 Colt or the Walther P-38 and was crude even compared to the Russian Tokarev.

	Japanese Pistols Used by PLA
		Pistols were common in the Chinese army and somtimes served as a kind of rank insignia.
		The 1904 Nambu was probably mis-named by Westerners because of a wrong interpretation of the Japanese system of chronology, the pistol's "04" designation probably referring to the fourth year of the Taisho reign -- 1915.
		Designed by Kijiro Nambu, this pistol was never accepted as an issue weapon, although many were purchased by Japanese officers.

	The Type 14 Nambu: great pistol but a lousy cartridge Guns Magazine - Find Articles
		Yes, the Nambu is rather unfamiliar looking, and it has its idiosyncrasies, but it points like an English setter, and it sports a trigger that approaches match quality.
		It is chambered for the concurrently developed 8mm Nambu pistol round, a semi-rimless, bottleneck cartridge featuring a 102-grain FMJ bullet at 950-1,050 feet per second.
		The second variation, one of the rarest of all military pistols, is the "Baby" Nambu.

		This pistol is of enormous historical value as it shows the earliest development of the Nambu pistol, dating back to 1902.
		A unique feature of this particular pistol is that the magazine base is made out of horn rather than wood, as was standard on almost all Grandpas except some late production models.
		Here is the stock attached to the pistol, showing the ingenious telescoping metal extension, which allowed the stock to be of more compact dimensions.

		This is a leaf with an open V notch sliding on a ramp and is graduated from 100 to 500 meters.
		It is believed to be inferior to the Nambu and the model 14 pistols because of poor design and manufacture.

		Its chief rival was the Type 94, a weapon generally regarded as being the worst of its class in service during the war.
		As Japanese Officers preferred the Samurai style sword, even those flying in aircraft or cramped in tanks, it was probably of little import to the user.
		The two were mostly similar, except for the grip which was a pistol version on the Type 92.

		For example, an original issue, fine condition hard-shell holster for an 8mm Japanese Nambu pistol may be worth twice as much as the pistol itself.
		Additionally, when the pistol was inserted into the holster, he found the flap to be too short to properly fasten.
		The seller went on to explain how the pistol was to be wrapped in plastic, the holster soaked and then stretched over the gun for forty-eight hours.

		Now as we all know Japanese pistols that take the 8mm cartridge have been out of print for more than a generation, and so that we have the ammunition we must look about for a weapon to shoot it in.
		Obviously in the case of the new oyster pistol we have only just scratched the surface, not having yet mag-na-ported it or equipped it with some sort of laser sight.
		If you dislike the idea of stainless steel for mollusk pistols, I suggest that you note that the South Africans are now turning to gold for the stocks of their weapons since they have so much of it.
