Japanese 7.65mm Hamada Pistol
This guide details the field stripping and reassembly of the rare Japanese 7.65mm Hamada pistol, as demonstrated by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. It highlights the pistol's unique rotational barrel lock mechanism, distinct from its Browning 1910 inspiration. The process requires careful attention due to spring tension, especially during reassembly. This information is valuable for collectors and historians interested in Japanese martial arms.
