Semi-Automatic Pistols of Asia-Pacific

This is a child group of Semi-Automatic Pistols, collecting the Small Arms And Sidearms subcategory's semi-automatic pistols whose own record traces them to an Asia-Pacific country, none reaching five members on its own within this split: India (the Ashani pistol and the Rifle Factory Ishapore's Pistol Auto 9mm 1A, a licensed Browning copy), China (the Type 54, itself a licensed Soviet Tokarev derivative), South Korea (the Daewoo Precision Industries K5), Japan (the early Hino-Komuro pistol) and Taiwan (the T75 pistol). These five countries' own domestic and licensed-production pistol programs are grouped together as a single regional bucket rather than as five separate one- or two-member groups.

The Type B was adopted by the Imperial Japanese Navy and Royal Thai Army during the 1920s and the later Type 14 was adopted in 1926 (Taisho 14) as the service pistol of the Imperial Japanese Army until its surrender in 1945.
