When were semi-automatic firearms first commonly available on the civilian market in the US? I have a rough idea (I'm guessing WWI-ish), but nothing to back it up and, unfortunately, no time to research it.
I know this is somewhat of a subjective question, but if you could help me out by providing some examples of early semi-autos that were available for civilian sale, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks!
