Was this RIGARMI Worth $25

[DAdams]

Picked this up with an IJ revolver for fifty so I may have gotten this for $20.

Anyone familiar with these? .25 caliber.
Don't know that I'll invest in a box of ammo to see if it shoots.

I think it's worth trying out. Might be a fun shooter!

From what I can gather, shoot only FMJs. And if you carry it, don't have a round in the chamber. FMJ ammo runs about 50 cents a round online.

I have one I got at a gun buyback - it seems to shoot just fine.

Looks like a nice little pistol. I'd bet it'll shoot just fine.

I agree about not carrying with a round in the chamber.

They were made by Galesi in Brescia. If you believe wikipedia, they sometimes sell for $100 to $400.

Here's a gold one that sold for $132.50.

I'd look it over or maybe have a gunsmith look at it if questionable, but I'd definitely try to shoot it. Looks pretty cool. If you do decide to shoot it let us know how it goes. Bonus points for pics.

I've got one that was a hand down from Granddad, to my mom, to me. I think you did good for 25$. When I researched them they sold between 65-100$.
I had to do some extractor tuning on mine to get it to cycle reliably. I don't think I would ever use it as a carry, but it's a neat piece to bring out from timr to time.
