RPB (which has been rumored to stand for Rape, Pillage, and actually stands for the initials of the company founders) manufactured the only semi auto open bolt variety of the M10 ever made, most were stamped "sM10" but a very few were made with the model stamped as "sapM10" (an abbreviation for semi auto pistol) These few are the only open bolt M10's which are not banned as assault weapons by the state of is a very rare variant of an extremely hard to come by pistol.
In 1979, Wayne Daniel manufactured a semi auto only version and somehow (miraculously, I still don't know how he pulled it off) was able to get the BATFE to approve it as a Title 1 firearm i.e. a 'Regular' open bolt semi auto M10 pistol manufactured by RPB were initially made using surplus SMG parts bought from Military Armaments Corporation when they went out of buisness in 1978.
The period of manufacture was short lived however as in 1982 - the BATFE reversed its decision on approving the open bolt semi auto guns when it was found that they were easily converted to full June 21st 1982, any new M10's made as open bolt pistols were to be considered Title 2 firearms ( guns)....
These were produced for less than 3 years and can never be made again.
In case you don't believe that there is any way this can be legal please read the text of the ATF decision rule 82-2 which banned any more of these from being made but allowed the ones already in circulation to be grandfathered.
This is sold as a unique collectible pistol, you are responsible for complying with all state and federal laws ('t do anything illegal with it, to it, around 't think illegal thoughts, don't contemplate any hypothetical, don't ask any STUPID questions, and don't discuss anything nefarious even as a joke...)
