A Singer 1911A1 up for auction

I have never fired Nambu. Had a T14 and a T94 in the past, but no ammo.

The tone of the following youtube video is very negative on T14. A gun looks so nice having so many problems is abnormal.

But, I am curious after watching this video -- I will buy a nice T14 back in future, to see whether it's only their sample got all those issues, or those issues being more common...

I think I posted the May 1981 Guns & Ammo review of shooting the Type 14 Nambu. If it got lost and anyone is interested I'll post it again.

My experience was actually fairly similar to the video - it was a Jam-O-Matic - until I took the extractor out, cleaned a rather small amount of crud that was under the lip of same, re-lubricated and re-assembled. Shot fine after that. Oh, also replaced all the springs when I first got it.

With that said, due to expense and scarcity of ammo, a real life reliability test just isn't possible.
