Pulled the trigger on a...

I like Type 94 Nambu, due to its unusual appearance. The design of exposed sear bar is not optimal but that's not unique in Nambu -- Luger also has an exposed sear bar. To be fair, Type 94's exposed sear bar is easier to access than that of Luger's.... so it's very negative on Nambu.

Operate it in hands (never fired one), feel two things are negative, (1) It's very easy to accidentally release and drop the magazine out; (2) The hold-open was implemented by magazine follower, so when empty magazine is removed for reloading .... for a pistol of this size, Nambu should have implemented a real hold open facility.

The grip fits my small hand extremely well. That's a plus.
