This video analyzes the North China Type 19 pistol, a rare variant and improvement on the Type 14 Nambu. Manufactured in Japanese-occupied China during WWII, it features a solid frame with a disassembly lever and an improved manual safety, discarding the magazine retention spring. Two distinct quality types exist: a well-made version with a bullseye acceptance mark and a poorly machined version with a Japanese '2' proof. Production was intended to be 5,000 units, but only around 200 are estimated to have been made, making it a scarce and interesting piece of Japanese WW2 firearm history.
