The Glisenti 1910 was a 9mm pistol used by the Italian army in WW1. It was an automatic firing a 9 x 19mm round dimensionally identical to 9mm Luger, but significantly less powerful. The whole left side of the frame is cut away and covered with a plate, like in a revolver, to allow access to the working mechanism.

It's an inherently weak gun. Firing a 9mm Luger round in it can and will blow it up. Even with the right ammo, I wouldn't shoot one.
