Have owned one for few years paid 130$ years back, came with 2 extra mags and three boxes of 50 round FMJs. Original owner made some nice walnut grips as the originals cracked due to age etc. Very nice shooting pistol, pretty accurate with the fixed barrel configuration. Would highly recommend for a tough and reliable EDC, very consealable and with proper shot location is plenty of pep in my opinion, I typically Cary a tokarev, but sometimes Cary my 32 ACP And have never felt under gunned.
It's nice to see a big time TH-cam reviewer like yourself reviewing these timeless classics. I myself are into the older firearms, like military rifles and revolvers. I enjoy your videos more than ever. Thanks
at 6:24 i think you meant to say .32 acp instead of .380 acp, still knew what you meant and still love to watch your videos. unlike a lot of other gun channels on youtube, you take us on a journey with every review. a little history, a little shooting, a little of the mechanics, and an unbiased insight on the guns you test. keep up the good work.
Well made little guns, indeed! I got to look at Chicago's evidence locker, and I was really surprised at how many old pre 1968 Gun Control Act pocket guns were taken off the streets of a city where guns are supposedly banned. Loads of junk too, but I saw a bunch of Galesi .32 ACPs. Sadly those will all be destroyed, whereas in Arizona these neat little guns would go to a public auction. I still carry the Beretta Tom Cat 3032. It is a backup to a 9x19mm, but I just like it.
Sootch, I watch all the popular gun channels on TH-cam and I think your videos are the best. Thanks for the time and effort you put in to them. I especially like your videos on the older guns like the Galesi.
I couldn't agree with you more. I love these kinds of firearms. Your earlier video on the 25acp got me looking at these pretty seriously. If I love a gun it's a collector's piece for me. priceless
Have a 1955 Armi Galesi in .22 cal. It's a great little shooter for plinking and it's lot's of fun. Will be looking for a .32 at the next gun show I attend.
With all due respect. First I want to congratulate you because of the quality of your content is excellent. There is another Italian maker that also made a very similar small gun. The SATA ITALIAN (.25ACP) MODEL OF 1955 - SEMI-AUTO PISTOL Of course if it is in the range of your possibilities. I believe it was made by the Tanfoglio family of gun makers.
Scotch, you do great reviews always appreciate the detail and history you add to the videos. I'm not sure how you afford all of these guns but I hope you keep it up!
Sootch, i'm glad I subed your channel in the beginning. Your reviews a very informative. i've always liked your videos. Keep up the the great work brother! !
Thank you. You said "shooting perfectLY" instead of the usual grammatically incorrect "shooting perfect". How many times do you hear a sports commentator say,"he hit the ball perfect" It drives me nuts.
sootch00 I'm a hugh fan ! love watching your videos! anyway you could do a review on a beretta 84b 380 . .. love to see you do a review on it ... one of my favorite handguns. . thanks God bless
Love u sootch, thank u for the video,, upon takedown this thing really looks similar to my Sig p230 I wonder how many ideas they borrowed from this gun.
hey sootch, do you review shotguns? I recently just picked up a winchester sxp black shadow 12g and am already getting slack for choosing it over a 870. I really do enjoy the sxp though.
+sootch00 I've just watched your review, and I think its one of your best ones yet.. I know more about the 10/22 now and I'm definitely going to be buying one!. Thanks again Sootch.
It looks like a Hammerless WALTHER PP... .32s are the Gestapo's favorite. More accurate than the.380, less recoil and more rounds magazine capacity. From ballistics, 50 FPV lbs. is the only difference between a.32Acp and a .380 according to some charts. I want one of these Armi Galesis!
I have a .32 and a .25 can't find the ammo and when I do it's 30$ a box lol. nice little pistols as maybe a 3rd up close back up. Would be nice to shoot them more oftrn
I would love to watch a review on one of those little .32 revolvers, like the colt pocket positive or the 1903 hand ejector, do you have on of these in your collection?
What's your take on 38 special? i know You said you would stick to atleast 380 or 9 as a self defense caliber, but how does 38 special compare to them?
After 90 rounds at the range, my .25 galesi jammed. Now the bullet only goes half way into the chamber, casing the slide to stay half way open. Help!! Do you know what's wrong?
+Anthony Navarro Sounds like we have the same gunsmith. If you can't fix it yourself and your gunsmith is a lazy sod, who by his attitude has shown he is NOT much of a gunsmith anyway, i suggest you get on the web and check out other smiths in your area. If you're a club member, maybe there's someone who could help.
+Adrian Larkins I made a video of the issue I'm having with my .25 cal. It's on my channel. Is the bullet suppose to protrude out that much? Maybe you can see it on yours. Thanks 👍
+Mackbros24 Quite a bit, actually. A lot of countries (like India and Brazil) only allow their sla-I mean, citizens, to carry .32 ACP and weaker. A lot of guns, usually .380s, are rechambered in .32 for those markets.
i got a kel-tec P-32 new for a smidge over $200, throw it in your pocket and forget it's there. like 9 ounces loaded, doesn't even print in tight jeans, P-3AT same, cept a couple ounces heavier loaded.
Many of the so-called 'Ring of Fire' guns like the Jennings and Raven were direct knockoffs of Galesi designs. So probably not surprising that both the Phoenix HP .22 & .25 look so identical to the Armi Galesi 32acp.
Get some good Fire Extinguishers for your Home...stock a good Pantry...get a good truck.... and then one of these....you'll be set for any realistic eventualities.... pay off your Debts and forget the House full of thousands of dollars worth of Guns....
One just needs a good rifle, pistol, and maybe a shotgun. Add some ammo stashed (say 1000 rounds for all of them) and that's that. Yes pay off all debts! Put some savings up! Just a good pantry of food (some of those gallon size cans of beans and rice is a wise idea.) And don't watch all those stupid talking heads on cable TV!

Love your coverage of these moues guns. The small-shoppe craftsmanship of lesser known or owned models is appreciated.

The Galesi .32 is an awesome gun! And this is one of your best reviews ever! Try some Buffalo Bore .32 ACP in your Galesi for CC.
Have a 1955 Armi Galesi in .22 cal. It's a great little shooter for plinking and it's lot's of fun. Will be looking for a .32 at the next gun show I attend.
Of all your different video themes, the odd ball guns like this are my favorite. thanks
Looks similar my Ortgies 32acp. Great fun to shoot.
With all due respect. First I want to congratulate you because of the quality of your content is excellent.

The SATA ITALIAN (.25ACP) MODEL OF 1955 - SEMI-AUTO PISTOL
Of course if it is in the range of your possibilities. I believe it was made by the Tanfoglio family of gun makers.
I just picked up a really old box of Winchester silver tips for the 32 ACP I can't wait to try them out in my CZ50.

+Adrian Larkins Like a steering wheel down a pirate's pants?
@@smokingcrab2290 Yes, First World problems.
now your talking, 32acp is smooth little shooter, so underrated
You have the best videos on TH-cam
Nice! I miss my Keltec and CZ I had in .32! I'd carry that!
Good video Don, I love these older gun vids.
a gun rare even here in Italy, and reserchead by collectors
sootch I just got to day ,you make awesome videos, thank you brother
Now that take down is very cool. Thanks for sharing
Love those adjustable sights!
heck of a group man!
sootch00 I'm a hugh fan ! love watching your videos! anyway you could do a review on a beretta 84b 380 . .. love to see you do a review on it ... one of my favorite handguns. . thanks God bless
I shot one of these in 25 auto. It was well made. Shot well.
General Steven D. Lee 5683 He made a review on that one
Im gonna do some looking around my city for one of these.
Nice to see a european pistol with the thumb safety on the right way up.
I want a scaled down sig saur p365 in 32 auto, also with 10rd mags.
Good presentation
very nice video my dad past this gun to me but no mag where can i find one
Love u sootch, thank u for the video,, upon takedown this thing really looks similar to my Sig p230 I wonder how many ideas they borrowed from this gun.
Sootch00 love Ur video!
+king buzzy Thanks Brother
Accurate given the type of sites? All I can see is a slight groove in top strap. Very low profile fixed sites.(?)
I'm having trouble with my armi galesi 22 long rifle I was wondering if you had any info on maybe what to do it seems to not want to chamber right
Assuming same "grade", how do these compare quality-wise to DW Ortgies?
hey sootch, do you review shotguns? I recently just picked up a winchester sxp black shadow 12g and am already getting slack for choosing it over a 870. I really do enjoy the sxp though.
anything is better than a 870 should have got a Mossberg 500. lol Winchester is a great company so I wouldn't sweat it
Reminds me of an Ortgies, except for the safety.
Bonita arma y buen calibre para defensa personal ,saludos desde Michoacán, México.
Please can you do a new Ruger 10/22 review.. I'm planning on buying one soon and would love to see you review it again.
+Esoteric Ed I just uploaded a new 10/22 review on Full30. Here's the link: www.full30.com/video/bb14b54027f0912405494f11f8131263
Thanks!
+sootch00 I've just watched your review, and I think its one of your best ones yet.. I know more about the 10/22 now and I'm definitely going to be buying one!. Thanks again Sootch.
Safe to carry with one in the tube and safety on?
It looks like a Hammerless WALTHER PP...
.32s are the Gestapo's favorite.
More accurate than the.380, less recoil and more rounds magazine capacity.
From ballistics, 50 FPV lbs.
is the only difference between a.32Acp and a .380 according to some charts.
I want one of these Armi Galesis!
Whats is a price the gun on perfectly conditions??
I think you meant to say 7.65mm caliber in the description
+lorthros Thanks for the heads up.
+sootch00 thanks for the video, I have had an interest in .32 just for completeness but have resisted due to its shortcomings as a defensive round.
***** meh
Why are these pistols illegal and the Ruger LCP legal? Seems like the LCP dimensions are actually smaller.
Great close👍
That is a good looking pistol.
excellent video
I have one from my father and it says exactly what yours says but 1930 instead of the caliber. Is this different than yours
I have a .32 and a .25 can't find the ammo and when I do it's 30$ a box lol. nice little pistols as maybe a 3rd up close back up. Would be nice to shoot them more oftrn
+1975acidburn Learn to reload, its worth it.
order it from one of the hundreds of websites that sell it for reasonable prices.
This and the .25 acp version would be a decent bug out combo
hi, I need help, took out the safety pin can't replace it, any ideas would be appreciated thank you
I would love to watch a review on one of those little .32 revolvers, like the colt pocket positive or the 1903 hand ejector, do you have on of these in your collection?
HUEland? what that means? Are you BR??????
Duke Mode huehuehuehue
How Many Bullets a Magazine Contains ?
Out of curiosity, do you get powder burns on your cameras?
+TheJonesChannel11 I've not noticed any. They are usually zoomed in.
***** Ah, thats why. It feels like the camera is really close.
Anyone know where I can find some mags for this gun mine is broken
What's your take on 38 special? i know You said you would stick to atleast 380 or 9 as a self defense caliber, but how does 38 special compare to them?
lol damn, well thanks brotha for the quick response i recently got one in a trade and never owned one before
Son of a Zombie lol damn, well thanks brotha for the quick response i recently got one in a trade and never owned one before
+Son of a Zombie hahahaha
+Son of a Zombie .380 yes, 9mm not so much. Given equal barrel lengths, no .38 special load can come close to the performance of a 9mm +P
I was told there was no ammo for that gun here in the U.S.
can you fire .32 auto with this weapon.
+Nick Germano ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol, so yes.
Oh I like it!
as Sean COnnery would say schekzy
After 90 rounds at the range, my .25 galesi jammed. Now the bullet only goes half way into the chamber, casing the slide to stay half way open. Help!! Do you know what's wrong?
+Anthony Navarro Seems like a job for the gunsmith if the cause is not obvious at first glance.
+Adrian Larkins my local gunsmith wants nothing to do with my pistol. Said its too much of a headache 😁
+Anthony Navarro Sounds like we have the same gunsmith. If you can't fix it yourself and your gunsmith is a lazy sod, who by his attitude has shown he is NOT much of a gunsmith anyway, i suggest you get on the web and check out other smiths in your area. If you're a club member, maybe there's someone who could help.
+Adrian Larkins I made a video of the issue I'm having with my .25 cal. It's on my channel. Is the bullet suppose to protrude out that much? Maybe you can see it on yours. Thanks 👍
Got the Galesi fixed already?
Its made a lot like the Jimenez ja 32 but better quality materials.
Do they even make guns in this caliber anymore?
+Mackbros24 Quite a bit, actually. A lot of countries (like India and Brazil) only allow their sla-I mean, citizens, to carry .32 ACP and weaker. A lot of guns, usually .380s, are rechambered in .32 for those markets.
Is a 32 bigger than a 22?
Yes. .312 inch v.s. .224 inch.
i got a kel-tec P-32 new for a smidge over $200, throw it in your pocket and forget it's there. like 9 ounces loaded, doesn't even print in tight jeans, P-3AT same, cept a couple ounces heavier loaded.
Many of the so-called 'Ring of Fire' guns like the Jennings and Raven were direct knockoffs of Galesi designs. So probably not surprising that both the Phoenix HP .22 & .25 look so identical to the Armi Galesi 32acp.
Nice
nice cut
I forgot to mention it looks alot like my Makrov
Nice.....
sweet
I can't get my striker back in

ultimate hipsters carry weapon
Love it I hate plastic guns
looks little like a clone of the REM 51, my granddad had
Molto bene buon signore.
+Tactical Butler correct, but sounds like italian from something like100 years ago :) ...nothing wrong with it, just a bit dated.... bye!
What I see is the makorov PMS Italian cousin
Urge to buy rising...
So it's a 1910 browning
Of course with a long arm also
Nice gun, could use nicer sights.
they don't make em' like these anymore, lol
Robar NP3 that thing
looks like Makarov gun.
I want one.
