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. 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 M12 (according to other sources, the designation was "9mm Selbstiade Pistole M.12" instead).
 +
 
 +
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. The pistols were put into service with the designation "STEYR1912", 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-Hahn M1912 (1913 mfg) - 9x23mm Steyr

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. 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.

According to some sources, the Steyr M1911 pistol was adopted by Austro-Hungarian Army reserve units in 1912, under the name Repetierpistole M12 (according to other sources, the designation was "9mm Selbstiade Pistole M.12" instead).
