The main usage of this type of pistol did not happen in Germany, of course. Germany and her allies did buy about 300,000 C96, but,,, looking at Red 9 for example, so many of them still have mint bores even today. The biggest user of this type of gun were Chinese warlords, nationalist, and communist, they needed a combat pistol requiring relatively low maintenance, and this pistol matched their need.
