The Japanese Type 26 revolver, adopted in 1893, was Japan's first domestically produced military sidearm, replacing the Smith & Wesson No. 3. It features a unique tool-less disassembly mechanism by swinging the trigger guard forward. Chambered in a proprietary 9x23mm rimmed cartridge, it operates in double-action only with a free-spinning cylinder that indexes upon trigger pull. While comfortable to shoot due to low recoil and a smooth DA trigger, its cartridge is considered underpowered compared to contemporaries.
