The Semi-Automatic Pistol is a weapon featured in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online.
Description[]
The new Peeters & Janssens Semi-Automatic Pistol deals less damage than revolver sidearms, but makes up for it by doing away with the need for weapon cocking, as well as an expanded ammo capacity and quicker magazine reloads. This gun has an ammo capacity of eight rounds and can use Regular, High Velocity, Split Point, Express and Explosive pistol ammo.[1]
The Semi-Automatic Pistol has the lowest damage of all firearms in the game, but it has a slightly higher magazine count than most, with 8 rounds, the fastest fire rate in the game, fairly high accuracy and a very quick reload time.
Acquisition[]
This pistol is available to purchase only from gunsmiths in Valentine and Saint Denis, after completing the mission "The Joys of Civilization" in Chapter 4.
In Red Dead Online, the pistol becomes available for purchase after reaching Rank 22.

Trivia[]
- The Semi-Automatic Pistol's design is based on the Borchardt C-93 pistol first manufactured in 1893, it would later inspire the iconic Luger P08.
- The in-game appearance is modelled slightly incorrectly after its real life counterpart; the grip is angled (slightly more so than its Red Dead Redemption counterpart) and the trigger guard is elongated, compared to the real life C-93.
- The Semi-Automatic Pistol is the only at-launch firearm (weapons such as the Evans repeater being an example of a weapon added after the game was launched) that must be bought from a gunsmith. Hence no character in the entire game except Arthur and John wield the pistol and no mission provides it to the player - nor can it be found anywhere on the map
- Though, unlike the Semi-Automatic Shotgun and Carcano Rifle, created prior to 1899, the Semi-Automatic pistol had an incredibly brief production run, was never adopted by any military, and saw almost no sales other than to German aristocrats; even the Mauser Pistol (C-96) could plausibly have been imported given how the pistol was incredibly popular world-wide. Hence it is unlikely any C-93s ever made it to the Old West
- The Semi-Automatic Pistol's catalogue description alludes to it being adopted militaries for trench warfare; in reality the C-93 was roundly rejected by virtually every military because, among other issues, it was highly delicate.
