Nambu Type 14 Adoption???

[Sieger]

Hi,

The NRA Guide Book is correct.

Why would you think that the Type 94 would proceed the Type 14?

Actually, I really like the T-14 design, though the 8mm Nambu cartridge leaves a lot to be desired.

Perhaps it's snobbery on my part; my idea of esthetics. To me, the Borchardt C 93 is more 'beautiful' than say the Whitney Wolverine. The Type 14 looks more 'modern' to me than the Type 94. The same way a BSA A10 is more beautiful [to me] than the BSA A65.

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".

There is no reality, except what we make.

Hi.

I debated what reality truly is with a group of students from St. John's University a few years ago.

My position was..."Reality is paying your bills".

Who could disagree with that?

No disagreement here! Your position let me buy a nice sporty car to play with in my senior years...
