As rapid fire goes, the Pardini SP dominate the show. You have two flauvors the mechanical and the electronic trigger.
As far as free pistol, there are two that rule, the morini CM84e (electronic trigger) that you can buy new, and the old TOZ 35 that still is very competitive, but no longer in production (but there are a lot of second hand ones).
Do a search here if you want more info. They have been debated to the last screw!

As far as a Swiss free pistol.
If you can find the blue Hammerli / Walther FP60, it is made in Switzerland.
I really like mine, just need to shoot it more often and I plan to.

Nope. A very few AP still leave the SAM "factory", but otherwise, zip.

You ever see one? I know about 4 or 5 of them, built shortly after the last ice age.

I only own and shoot/collect Swiss made firearms ( after many years of having guns from all over the world ).
I too feel that it is a sad thing that the Swiss gun makers have all but faded away.
My suggestion is simple; but a Swiss made gun anyway. There are alot of new old stock ( NOS) guns that come on the market every year. many are from various collectors and or from the old guard ( when us old guys pass away, often our guns go to estate sales ).
There is also alot of good quality used Swiss guns available. If you find one that has not been abused Im sure you will be quite happy with it.
The quality of the older Swiss guns is fantastic. I own both new and used examples and an happy with both. I try to collect new, and shoot the used ones.
Good luck

Happy holidays
