The C93 was produced in very small numbers and never received any serious military contracts. 
  
 ~3000 C93s produced vs over a million C96s produced, not counting all the chinese and spanish clones of the C96. For every one C93 made Mauser alone made over 350 C96s. 
  
 That's why I wouldn't consider the C93 a 'success'.

I never said that it was more successful than the C96 but the C-93 was literally the first mass-produced semi-auto pistol in history.
