Nambu Type 14

__TOC__
=Type 14=
The Nambu Type 14 is the successor to Kijirou Nambu's previous pistol design, adopted as the standard sidearm for officers of the Imperial Japanese Army in 1927. It would see service in this role during Japan's war in China in the 1930s and through to the end of World War II. Its 8x22mm cartridge was fairly underpowered compared to the standard sidearm cartridges of other nations of the era, and many senior officers (who, as with many nations, purchased their own sidearms) preferred pistols like the FN Model 1910. The Type 14 was sometimes colloquially called a "Japanese Luger" by American troops of the time due to its silhouette, but the designs are not related.
Due to complaints about difficulty using the pistol with gloves, it was redesigned with an elongated trigger guard in 1936, resulting in what was unofficially (in both Japanese and English) referred to as the "late" model. The cocking knob was later simplified to a knurled design as well; as this change came after, many Type 14s would feature the elongated trigger guard paired with the original slotted cocking knob.
In 1944, a simplified redesign named Type 19 (or "North China Type 19") was produced in extremely limited numbers in an attempt to keep troops cut off in China supplied.

=Nambu Mark B Pistol with Sword=
The Nambu Mark B pistol was a prototype that was later introduced into service with minor changes as the Type 14. The Sword Pistol is based on the prototype version. So the correct name is "Nambu Mark B Pistol with Sword". This design was not a pistol sword. It was a pistol with a sword attached. The term pistol sword can be applied to a weapon that was designed from the ground up to be a pistol sword. And different from the base weapon.
A follow up to a similar experiment on the earlier "Baby Nambu" pistol, three prototype Type 14 pistols (Mark B) were modified into pistol with swords in the late 1920s. The pistols featured a shortened barrel with the front sight moved to the front of the frame, along with a guntou blade attached to the right-side grip panel. Unlike the previous iteration, the blade was detachable (presumably using the button on the grip) allowing for use of the pistol on its own. The scabbard also featured a dust cover for the pistol's ejection port.
For an additional photo featuring the pistol in its scabbard as well as with the blade detached, see the Talk Page.
