All Semi-Automatic Pistols of Europe

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 a European country other than Germany, Czechia, Belgium, Switzerland or Italy, none reaching five members on its own within this split: Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Spain, Poland, France, Romania, Slovakia, Finland and the United Kingdom. The group spans early twentieth century Spanish copies of the Mauser C96 such as the Astra 600 and Model 900, Cold War era Eastern Bloc service pistols from Poland and Hungary, and more recent designs such as Serbia's Draco Pistol and Slovakia's Grand Power K100, grouped together as one European bucket rather than as ten separate single- or few-member country groups.
