Chinese “Horn Grip Type” Pistols
Most infos about this guns is from forgottenweapons.
Video about them! Please watch.
Interested in these guns? Check out the Kickstarter for my new book on the subject, “Pistols of the Warlords”!
In the course of researching Chinese domestic pistols of the Warlord Era, I sorted through several hundred examples, and was able to identify six distinct patterns of uniquely Chinese designs. Once of these I have designated the Horn Grip Type, as almost all the examples identified use horn (sometime light yellowish and sometimes dark brown) for grip panels. These pistols are simple blowback actions with open slides, external hammers, and Eibar-style safety levers above their triggers. They are chambered for the .32 ACP cartridge. They have a characteristic style of rear sight that vaguely mimics the tangent sight and bolt of a C96 Mauser, but without any separate rear sight leaf. The part we would expect to be the rear sight slider is actually an unmoving piece used to hold the extractor in place.
I cover all six different types of domestic Chinese design in “Pistols of the Warlords”, but figured we could go through a variety of different examples of this particular type today.

There isnt much known about the except that they are in 32 ACP cartridge it dosnt have much power , but its a smaller caliber some of them could have maybe a higher capacity .
For what to add it to the game,
I think for Event it would be nice.
I know they are chinese pistols but some could have ended as loot in chinese hands.
Than i think they should be Event for Japan in the Game.
Than Japan should really get more stuff.
Manufacturing: These are consistently handmade pieces or small batches from local workshops, which is why even attaching parts (like stop blocks on models with extended barrels) hardly fit each other.
There is a book about the Chinese warlords Pistols but i dont own it.
