This video reviews the Bernardelli P018S, an Italian service pistol released in 1982. The P018 featured a Browning tilting-barrel system, DA/SA mechanism, and a steel frame, with early models offered in 7.65mm Parabellum, 9mm Parabellum, and 9x21mm. Despite being well-made, it failed to gain significant adoption. The review also touches upon various P018 variants like the Compact and P.ONE, as well as the VB Practical IPSC model, and the addition of .40 S&W to later offerings. Production ceased in the 1990s after only a few thousand units were made.

This video explores the Algimech AGM-1, a rare Italian bullpup pistol-caliber carbine developed in the mid-1980s by Alphonso Giambelli. Originally intended for Italian law enforcement, it was instead offered commercially as a semi-automatic carbine. The video details its chamberings in 9mm Parabellum and 9x21mm, with other calibers potentially manufactured. It highlights the AGM-1's 18-inch barrel and its use of modified Browning High Power magazines, noting the ease of barrel removal and straightforward design. The scarcity of these carbines, particularly those that entered the US before the 1989 import ban, makes it a unique subject for firearm enthusiasts.
