All Semi-Automatic Pistols of Germany

This is a child group of Semi-Automatic Pistols, collecting the Small Arms And Sidearms subcategory's semi-automatic pistols designed and manufactured in Germany: the early Bergmann and Borchardt toggle-lock designs that predate the First World War, the Mauser and Sauer service pistols of the interwar and Second World War periods, and the modern Heckler and Koch lineup spanning the HK4, HK45 and Mark 23, together with the more recent FGC-9 partially 3D-printed design. With 23 attested members this reflects Germany's own continuous, century-spanning role in semi-automatic pistol design, from the earliest commercially successful toggle-lock actions through today's polymer-framed service pistols.

Quote, Walther P38, History section
Germany started to look for a replacement as early as 1927, settling on the Walther P38 in 1938, which offered similar performance to the Luger P08 but took almost half the time to produce.
