Snagged another grail gun. Arsenal Strike One
Got one of these recently, new, old stock. Not everyday you find a pistol that is:
1) A copy of a Russian gun, the Strizh, license built in Italy.
2) A pistol that uses the Bergmann locking system.
3) A pistol with a sideways rotating sear.
Couple of general pictures.
The Bergmann locking piece that locks the barrel and slide together.
The slide recesses and barrel flanges that engage the Bergmann link.
The sideways pivoting sear.

Now, that is interesting!
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy gaining new "gun knowledge" in preparation for my next pawn shop outing... 'cause, you just never know what you might find.

P.S. I bet it shoots like a dream, based on its low bore axis/high grip and the caliber!

That's what I'm hoping for, but between the heat (111°F yesterday) and COVID-19 it may be some time before I find out.

Very nice looking machining - milling AND grinding. That thing is not much to look at outside but you can see what looks like some pretty precise manufacturing. Interesting handgun. Thanks for showing us that one.
