The Papa Nambu, an evolution of Kijiro Nambu's 1902 design, was produced from 1906 to 1928. It features improvements over the Grandpa model like a larger trigger guard and a swiveling lanyard loop, and is chambered in 8mm Nambu. Despite 'Army Type' markings, it was primarily adopted by the Japanese Navy. Production ceased with the introduction of the Type 14 Nambu.

It highlights the pistol's color-coded barrels for quick flare selection, unique recoil absorption system, and variations in production quality from early high-finish models to cruder late-war examples.
