I just purchased my first nambu from the Japanese Trader at this site. Wood grips are perfect, finish is very thin, but at $375 shipped, I thought that was an excellent price for one that was all matching including the magazine. The bore looks excellent.
Since we've pretty much lost all of our history on the board here such that I can't research the topic, can some of you comment as to how robust these pistols are ? I'd like to shoot it once in awhile, maybe 50 rounds of ammo a year. Any problems or issues or should I just put it back on the shelf ? I talked to my local gunshop owner today on the phone to see if he had ammo on the shelf but he quickly and abruptly made it known that I was endangering my life if I attempted to shoot it ! I shoot all of my Japanese rifles with of course no problems so I'm inclined to think he is affected with the "Japanese weapons are junk" syndrome.
This is a March 1944 manufactured pistol.
Thanks!
