Oddly enough, I almost ended up with one of those not long ago.

They are pre Gun Control Act of 1968 imports from Italy. The GCA '68 put a stop to the importation of small size and small caliber guns - both the cheap ones as well as stuff like the Walther PPK. This caused guns of this nature (and the PPK for that matter) to eventually be made in the United States.

There are two Rigarmi's, or at least two pistols generally so titled. They seem to differ a bit, and one was made by Galesi.

The mags are supposed to hold six rounds. I wonder if it was downloaded or used once.

I wouldn't carry it with a round in the chamber, but I wouldn't hesitate to fire it either if it were good condition.

You sometimes see them for sale at 300 if they have the box etc, but that's pretty much wishful thinking - even to someone who likes SNS type guns like me. Probably 100 to 150 dollars though.

Many who have SNS imports in .25 report that they work best with S&B's FMJ ammo. Might want to try that.
