Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Type 94 pistol was designed for Japanese tank and aircraft crews who wanted a smaller, lightweight design. However, some Japanese weapons experts have criticized certain design elements of the pistol. For example, the pistol can be fired unintentionally before the breech is fully locked if the sear bar on the side of the receiver is depressed while the pistol's safety is disengaged. Additionally, the process to disassemble the pistol is overly complex and awkward. Over the course of its production, the build quality of the Type 94 pistol declined, with "last ditch" pistols made in 1945 being crudely manufactured.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Type 94 Nambu 8 mm pistol, also known as the Type 94 handgun, was a semiautomatic pistol developed by Kijiro Nambu and his associates for the Imperial Japanese Army. Development of the 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). The Type 94 pistol entered production in 1935 and approximately 71,000 pistols were manufactured before production ended in 1945.
