The IWI Galil ACE Gen II pistol in 7.62x39mm with an 8.3-inch barrel and side-folding pistol stabilizing brace (brand part no. GAP36SB) continues the Galil ACE line built on the reliable mechanics of the original Galil rifle, first developed by IMI in the late 1960s and drawing inspiration from the AK-47 and the Finnish Valmet RK 62. IWI runs a closed rotating bolt long-stroke gas piston system with a chrome-lined, cold-hammer-forged CrMoV barrel, and the Gen II update adds a full-length two-piece Picatinny top rail, a free-float M-LOK handguard, an updated trigger profile, and a reciprocating charging handle on the left side of the milled steel receiver for weak-hand operation. The pistol accepts AKM/AK-47-pattern magazines and ships with an SB Tactical SBA-3 brace, and optics or sights are not included. Among AK-pattern semi-auto handguns, this Galil ACE configuration favors shooters who want a braced pistol built on proven Galil mechanics.
