Historical profile
In the late 1980s Japan sought a compact submachine gun for support personnel, armored crews and close-protection units; the choice fell on domestic production of the Mini Uzi adapted to local standards.
The Minebea PM-9 entered service in the early 1990s, retaining the blowback action and magazine-in-grip layout while adopting finishes and controls consistent with Japanese industry.
It has remained a discreet but steady presence in JSDF service, especially with guard units, armored vehicles and personnel needing a weapon more compact than the standard rifle.
