It also only works momentarily.
Think of it this way. You are in a close quarters situation and your opponent has drawn a 1911 (the weapon this little saw is most often associated with) and you have the presence of mind to press back on the muzzle or front sight in order to keep it from firing. How do you then prevent the other person from moving the gun and pulling the trigger?
That “secret spot” on the side of the Japanese pistol was a manufacturing or design defect that killed more Japanese soldiers than American soldiers. The Japanese military hated that pistol.
