About the only Fremdengerat (captured enemy weapons) of the handgun variety that were NOT re-used by the Deutsche Wehrmacht were ones that shot revolver rounds not commonly available in captured stocks of ammunition. (.455 calibre Webleys, .38-200 revolvers, the "K-Frame" Colts and Smiths taken from downed USAAF flyers)
There was apparently SOME limited use of 7.62x38R Nagant revolver /1895 Nagant Gas-Seal by "HiWi" and "Schuma" type units composed of Slavic national volunteers on the Eastfront--at least until the stocks of ammo for them captured in 1941 & 1942 ran out.
Anything else: If DWM and other German/Axis/Occupied munitions-werke were cranking out ammo, they'd use it!
(The Mad One's still kicking himself over missing out on a "Bohmische-Waffenfabrik" stamped CZ-27 back in 1988 when they still were going for very reasonable prices!)
