The '''Schönberger-Laumann 1892''' is an early [[semi-automatic pistol]], having received a patent in Austria in 25 November 1891, only a few months after the 11 July patent awarded to first semi-automatic design, the [[Salvator Dormus pistol]]. Austrian inventor Joseph Laumann modified his 8mm repeating pistol in 1892 to use a [[Blowback (firearms)|blowback]] actuated self-loading mechanism. The pistol retained the original large cocking lever attached to the underside of the frame in front of the trigger. Approximately thirty-five were manufactured before production ceased when the Austrian military rejected the design in 1896.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Antaris |first=Leonardo M. |year=2017 |title=In the Beginning |journal=[[American Rifleman]] |volume=165 |issue=10 |page=76 |publisher=[[National Rifle Association of America]] }}</ref> |
