The pistols were financed by civilian Tomojiro Komuro and made at the Komuro Gun Factory from 1904-1912. At most, only 500 of these pistols were produced, and many were later destroyed, leaving very few on the collector&#8217;s market today.<\/p>\n<p>Their blow-forward design is unusual and was not Hino&#8217;s only one. He also designed a semi-automatic rifle several years earlier, developed several successful aircraft, and even helped found the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service.
