The Model 503/B is a defined variant within Galesi's 500-series of vest-pocket pistols, identified here by its polished blued finish and white synthetic grip panels with AG medallions. Chambered in .25 ACP and built on a micro-size frame, it uses a simple blowback action and a 2.25 inch barrel.
Controls and handling features include a manual thumb safety and rear vertical slide serrations. The sights are fixed and integral to the slide, with a front blade and a rear notch sized appropriately for a vest-pocket pattern.
Construction is all-steel with a polished blued finish on the slide, frame, and receiver. The steel build supports durability in a compact footprint while maintaining the refined exterior associated with this series.
