A guy I know has one that as far as I know it has been reliable for him. But I don't know how often he shoots it. I haven't seen him in a few years.
 
It's a nice looking gun, shoots well, for it's size. Looking for it's 32 Cal. brother, but they're rare as hen's teeth.

Be careful how you grip it when shooting. The slide WILL bite. There is no beavertail, and zero clearance.
 
I have a later one with the aluminum frame. I shoot the snot out of it. I reload for the caliber so a lot of the little 25s get taken out to the range.
 
I have one in .22 Long ! I spent more time getting it to be reliable than I care to talk about :( I think the .25acp is much more accurate, but I got the one I have for free, so. Bought two Magazines, found an old OEM that works, sorta, smoothed and funneled the feed, adjusted the recoil spring to work , replaced extractor , and fining pin and spring. Got it to shoot a box of .22 long almost 100% and cleaned it and put it n a box with other pocket pistols . Adios !

that cool Gordon I enjoy tinkering with these little guns kinda gives a challenge to make them work lol!
 
The one on the left is my .22 Long . It was a found one in an abandoned house . My "throwdown" I finally got to work :) Really it was just a fool around in man cave project 10 years ago. Now I am retired I have no time to fool around !

I think I have two of these in .25 ACP. They are well made and the company went out of business long ago, though it was an old company in Italy.
At least one of mine is "Rigarmi" which I just learned is still in business;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galesi-Brescia
Here are parts; http://www.schaefershooting.com/3ae3ab49-ca/galesi.htm
I translated english into Italian and got this search line that got me nothing of Rigarmi in business today; Azienda di armi da fuoco Rigarmi Brescia. So I'd love to know if the Wikepedia article is correct, that they are still in business. Rigarmi was apparently one of the Galesi founder's sons.
The little pistols are well made, the ones I have are all steel and could have been made recently by the look of them, though I suspect they are from the 90's.
