Re: OT-Nambu Type 14
I have shot my Nambu on several occassions, bought 3 boxes of the Midway ammo when it was avaialbe, then bought some older reloading dies. It fires very nice, being a light barreled pistol, it cracks a little bit, but the round is much less powerful than a 9 MM.
I also bought 500 bullet heads years ago, round nose lead (all I could get) from some company back east (everyone is back east to me, ), I could look if anyone cared, it should say on the box where they came from.
Overall a fun gun, on the history Channel, like the Luger, Tales of the Gun, there is a great show called, Guns of WW2, that has this US Military Reserve Officer that shoots all the different Japanese guns, including the Nambu, shows them and talks about them. Very nice.
