Semi-Auto Handguns in the Old West

Were there semi-auto handguns in the Old West?
Also, a brief history on some early models.

***By the way, semi-auto can be pronounced Sem•eye or Sem•ee. Both are correct.
Also, the Wild Bunch is set in 1913, prior to WWI. Sorry!***

Great knowledge of popular semi-autos is Batjac JW:    / scorpio86ist
