 That is what was meant by this quote below (after he saw a Gillette razor blade factory in the USA)... and he was right! "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." - Isoroku Yamamoto Too bad they weren't able to use some of that kind of manufacturing expertise and power to produce a better pistol than the Nambu... (sorry I just couldn't resist  )

I've never experienced a Nambu, but since I've learned that the action of the Baby Nambu was very much the inspiration for Ruger's Mark series pistol, I appreciate at least that much about them. I just bought a Ruger Standard, made in 1980, at an auction. After a good cleaning, it eats virtually any .22lr I've put into it, causing me to wonder somewhat why I've been diddling around with these old Erma .22's!
