Steyr M1912

The Steyr M1912, also known as the Steyr M1911 or the "Steyr-Hahn", is an Austrian semi-automatic pistol developed in 1911 by Austrian weapons designer Karel Krnka unusual for its use of an internal magazine fed by stripper clips instead of detachable box magazine. Initially and officially known as the Steyr M1911, the pistol was produced at the Österreichische Waffenfabrik Steyr arms factory in Austria for the civilian arms market and for export. The commercial Steyr M1911 may have an adjustable rear sight and stamp "OESTERR.WAFFENFABRIK STEYR M.1911 9m/m" on the left side of the slide. According to some sources, the Steyr M1911 pistol was adopted by Austro-Hungarian Army reserve units in 1912, under the name Repetierpistole M.12 (sometimes also referred to as the "Selbstladepistole M.12").
When the First World War began, the Austro-Hungarian Army experienced an acute shortage of pistols. As a result, Austria-Hungary made large orders of the Steyr pistol. These pistols were stamped "STEYR 1912" on their slides, which could also contain another year, depending on the year of manufacture. With the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, production of the Steyr M1912 was discontinued in 1918. It is believed that about 250,000 Steyr pistols were produced. After the First World War, these pistols were in service with the armies of Poland, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Yugoslavia and Chile.
After the German annexation of Austria in 1938, about 60,000 pistols were adapted to fire the standard German 9x19mm Parabellum ammo. In the Wehrmacht, such pistols received the designation Pistole 12 (Ö). They can be distinguished by their "08" marks and Nazi eagles. During the Second World War, these pistols were used by the German police and various occupation units.

=Steyr Anschlagpistole M.12=
In late 1916, a selective-fire machine pistol variant of the Steyr M.12 was developed and produced in very small quantities, known as the Anschlagpistole M.12 ("Assault pistol"). It is commonly and incorrectly referred to under the designation "M1912/P16" (for "Patrone 16"). The machine pistol was equipped with a fire selector switch, and an elongated magazine with a capacity of 16 rounds (still integral, requiring two clips of 8 rounds each for loading). A special version of the M.12 holster-stock was developed for use with this weapon.
The Anschlagpistole M.12 was introduced as an Austro-Hungarian equivalent to the Italian Villar Perosa submachine gun, but proved to be unsuccessful and was cancelled in mid-1917. Less than 500 are thought to have been made, and came into limited issue only. A special "twin-barreled" configuration of this weapon was also tested, known as the "Doppelpistole M.12", consisting of two M.12 machine pistols tethered adjacently to a central buttstock.
