Found a NIB model 37 WITH full hammer and new style box. Label marked Japan, and taped to the new style box. Fired casing dated 7-9-08. Has anyone else seen, or bought one of these?

The SCSW shows a large order of 37-2's made for Japan. Part of the order was cancelled and sold off to a wholesaler with Uncle Mikes grips. Product code 601615.

Sounds like part of the special buy CDNN just sold on the commercial market.

Is it just me, or do the Japanese seem to cancel quite a few handgun contracts?

I remember a few years ago when a load of Sig Sauer P230's chambered in .32acp with a safety and a laynard ring hit the marker. These were rumored to be from a cancelled Japanese contract also.

And one other thing, how come these guns never have any Japanese writing on them?

I cannot recall, but it was not anything out of the ordinary.
