What’s Included
- Galesi Model 9 .25 ACP pistol
- 1x 6-round .25 ACP single-stack steel magazine with oval witness slot and flat baseplate
Built on a micro-size steel frame with a polished blue finish, this Model 9 balances a compact 2.25 inch barrel with an approximate overall length of 114 mm. Capacity is 6+1, fed by a single-stack magazine. Simple fixed sights with a shallow top sighting groove provide quick alignment.
The pistol uses a striker-fired, simple blowback action. A manual safety lever with a red fire indicator provides clear on/off status. Rear vertical slide serrations aid manipulation while maintaining the clean, streamlined profile expected of a vest-pocket design.
White synthetic grip panels with inset AG medallions contrast the polished blue slide and frame. The serial number is located on the front strap. Slide legends include "Soc. It. Flli Galesi - Brescia - Cal.
6,35" on the left and "Made in Italy" on the right.
Italian commercial proofs include the proof-house crest, PSF smokeless-proof mark, the Gardone/Brescia emblem, and the Roman numeral "XX" date code indicating 1964. As a pre-ban example, it represents the period before the 1968 GCA restricted importation of small vest-pocket pistols influenced by the Browning 1906 pattern.
