Home›Small Arms And Sidearms›Pistols and Revolvers›Semi-Automatic PistolsGroupSemi-Automatic PistolsThis is a child group of Pistols and Revolvers, collecting the Small Arms And Sidearms subcategory's semi-automatic, magazine-fed handguns: striker-fired and hammer-fired service and concealed-carry pistols, polymer-framed and short-recoil-operated designs, pocket and subcompact pistols, and modular pistol platforms. With 130 attested members this is the largest handgun subtype in the atlas, reflecting the semi-automatic pistol's dominance as the standard sidearm of modern military, police and civilian use since the mid-twentieth century. Revolving-cylinder handguns of any era are classified instead under the sibling Revolvers group, even where a design description also uses the word semi-automatic to describe a self-cocking revolver mechanism.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1892 1Browse ByAll Semi-Automatic PistolsSemi-Automatic Pistols176 entriesSemi-Automatic PistolsBrowseCompareof Asia-PacificSemi-Automatic Pistols7 entriesof BelgiumSemi-Automatic Pistols8 entriesof CzechiaSemi-Automatic Pistols12 entriesof EuropeSemi-Automatic Pistols21 entriesof GermanySemi-Automatic Pistols26 entriesof ItalySemi-Automatic Pistols10 entriesof Russia and the Soviet UnionSemi-Automatic Pistols11 entriesof SwitzerlandSemi-Automatic Pistols6 entriesof the Americas Outside the United StatesSemi-Automatic Pistols3 entriesof the Middle East and AfricaSemi-Automatic Pistols3 entriesof the United StatesSemi-Automatic Pistols49 entriesFilter Results28 entriesWeapon ClassAllPistol / Revolver (28)Weapon FamilyAllPistols and Revolvers (26)Semi-Automatic Pistols (26)Introduced EraAll1898 (1)1901 (1)1911 (1)1915 (1)1919 (1)1920 (1)1922 (2)1939 (1)1941 (1)1944 (1)1956 (1)1959 (1)1965 (1)1969 (1)1980 (1)1987 (1)1990 (3)1995 (1)1996 (1)1999 (1)2009 (1)2012 (1)2019 (1)2022 (1)ManufacturerAllAnciens Etablissements Pieper (1)Arcadia Machine & Tool (1)Astra-Unceta y Cia SA (3)Carl Walther GmbH (1)Fegyver- és Gépgyár (1)High Standard Manufacturing Company (1)John Inglis and Company (1)Manufacture d'armes de Châtellerault (1)Manufacture d'armes de Saint-Étienne (1)Norinco (1)Pindad (1)SIG Sauer (1)Smith & Wesson (1)Star Bonifacio Echeverria (1)Steyr Arms (1)TsNIITochMash (1)Webley & Scott (1)Zastava Arms (1)Łucznik Arms Factory (2)OperatorAllBoer Commando (1)Border Guard (Poland) (1)Bulgarian Armed Forces (1)Canadian Armed Forces (1)French Armed Forces (1)Imperial German Army (1)Imperial Japanese Army (1)People's Liberation Army (2)Polish Armed Forces (1)Royal Navy (1)Russian Ground Forces (1)Spanish Armed Forces (2)Vietnam People's Army (1)Wehrmacht (1)CaliberAll.22 Long Rifle (2).22 WMR (1).25 ACP (2).32 ACP (8).357 SIG (1).380 ACP (5).40 S&W (3).45 ACP (2).455 Webley (1)10mm Auto (1)7.62×25mm Tokarev (1)7.63×25mm Mauser (1)7.65×20mm Longue (1)7.65×25mm Borchardt (1)8x22mm Nambu (1)9x18mm (1)9x19mm (7)9×18mm Makarov (1)9×21mm (1)9×23mm Largo (1)Service StatusAllIn Service (4)Out of Production (18)Retired (6)Country of OriginAllAustria (1)Belgium (1)Canada (1)China (2)France (1)German Empire (3)Hungary (1)Indonesia (1)Japan (1)Poland (2)Spain (4)United Kingdom (1)United States (3)Weimar Republic (2)Yugoslavia (1)Wars Used InAllAlgerian War of Independence (1)First Indochina War (1)Lebanese Civil War (1)Second Boer War (1)Spanish Civil War (2)Vietnam War (1)World War I (3)World War II (8)Yugoslav Wars (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 28AMT AutoMag IISmall Arms And SidearmsArsenal Firearms AF2011A1Small Arms And SidearmsAstra 300Small Arms And Sidearms3 linksAstra A-100Small Arms And Sidearms1 linkAstra A-60Small Arms And Sidearms1 linkBeholla pistolSmall Arms And Sidearms2 linksBergmann-Bayard pistolSmall Arms And Sidearms4 linksFB MAGSmall Arms And Sidearms1 linkFB P-64Small Arms And Sidearms1 linkHamada Type pistolSmall Arms And Sidearms2 linksInglis Hi-PowerSmall Arms And Sidearms2 linksLiliput pistolSmall Arms And Sidearms1 linkOrtgies semi-automatic pistolSmall Arms And SidearmsP9RCSmall Arms And SidearmsPindad P3Small Arms And SidearmsPistolet automatique modèle 1935SSmall Arms And Sidearms4 linksSchwarzlose Model 1898Small Arms And Sidearms2 linksSIG Sauer P322Small Arms And SidearmsSmith & Wesson Model 1006Small Arms And SidearmsStar Model BSmall Arms And Sidearms2 linksSteyr MSmall Arms And SidearmsType 59 pistolSmall Arms And Sidearms3 linksType 80 (pistol)Small Arms And Sidearms1 linkUdavSmall Arms And Sidearms1 linkWalther PK380Small Arms And SidearmsWebley Self-Loading PistolSmall Arms And Sidearms3 linksWhitney WolverineSmall Arms And SidearmsZastava CZ99Small Arms And Sidearms1 linkSources1.
