There is also the issue with the sear bar. As a mechanic, I would expect that obvious defects would be 'fixed' in later models, rather than introducing new ones.
The two movies do show the hard clamshell holsters on the Japanese, which to me indicate the Type 14 rather than the Type 94. Since they were intended to be 1945-year movies, it seems odd that they wouldn't have Type 94 specific holsters. Were the two holster designs interchangeable???  |
Hi,
Perhaps you should ignore Hollywood portrayals and concentrate on personally verifiable facts as your guide to reality.
Otherwise, Eastwood will not "Make your day".
