Talk:Nambu Model 60

Only photo I could find

It's all I could find. I have a couple books that have better photos of the Model 60, but there isn't much on the Internet. Guess it will have to do a sub until somebody can get something better. Always helps to have a photo though.--Jcordell 22:29, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Japanese Police

Do the Japanese Police still carry this weapon? I think I read somewhere that they switched over to the SIG-Sauer P230 a few years ago but I can't be sure. -Anonymous

I can't find any info, but I wouldn't have a hard time believing that. It would be interesting to have a Model 60 in my collection. But knowing the Japanese (political and social stance towards firearms) they've probably destroyed all the specimens if they've gone away from it. --Jcordell 18:26, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Most of Japanese police officer still use a M60 "New nambu". but there guns are replacing by S&W M37 slowly because M60's production is already end. P230 is using by Undercover officers.--omochi

Replaced

Hasn't this been replaced by a newer revolver? I remember reading that some newer weapon (not bearing the Nambu name if I remember correctly) replaced this in the 1980s and that the replacement model was imported into the US. I think it was called the Miroku revolver. -Anonymous

Good question. I don't know. --Jcordell 00:45, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
