Handguns Descriptions

Glock 23

The G17 Gen5 features a no finger grooved, multiple backstrapped, rough textured frame with hundreds of miniature spikes which results in remarkable traction for extreme environments and gloved operators. The frame also features a smooth trigger, reversible mag release, and ambidextrous slide stop. The magazine comes with a floor plate which is extended at the front for faster magazine change, and a orange follower, while the flared mag-well makes it easier to funnel the magazine into the mag-well. Glock\'s nDLC finish provides a tougher, more durable protection against corrosion and scratching. The Glock Marksman barrel features a barrel rifling which delivers improved accuracy. his Glock Gen5 model has AmeriGlo night sights (green with orange outline front and green rear) and a 10-round capacity.

Nambu Type B (Baby)

The Type B Nambu was a three-quarters sized scaled-down version of the Nambu Type A. These pistols were never officially adopted by the Japanese military, but were intended as private purchase sidearm by high raking officers of the Army and Navy. It fired a smaller 7 mm round than the conventional 8×22mm Nambu. They were made by Tokyo Arsenal (also called Koishikawa after the part of Tokyo where it was located) and Tokyo Gas & Electric (TGE). Approximately 5,900 examples of the finely finished, compact, "Baby" Nambu pistol were manufactured before production ceased in 1929. The "Baby" Nambu is perhaps one of the most desirable Japanese semi-automatic pistols and have always been highly prized in any Japanese military collection.
