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.
