First semi-automatic pistol was manufactured by Schonberger-Laumann in 1892. It was followed by the Mannlicher in 1894.

The first successful design for a semi-automatic rifle is attributed to German-born gunsmith Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher, who unveiled the design in 1885. Although Mannlicher earned his reputation with his bolt action rifle designs, he also produced a few semi-automatic pistols, including the Steyr Mannlicher M1894, which employed an unusual blow-forward action and held five rounds of 6.5mm ammunition that were fed into the M1894 by a stripper clip.

OOps you said pistol;
In the 1880s, other designers worked on self-loading designs. The first model to gain any commercial success was the Hugo Borchardt-designed self-loading Borchardt C-93 semi-automatic pistol, which was designed in 1893 and made its public appearance in 1894.

The Borchardt. It was a toggle action predecessor of the world famous Luger 08.

I think it was the Borchardt pistol which was invented in the late 1800s.
