The IWI US Galil ACE pistol (IWI part no. GAP1339SB) is a rare run of the Gen1 13-inch ACE, chambered in 7.62x39mm and built on the same reliable mechanism as the original Galil rifle, itself drawing inspiration from the AK-47 and the Finnish Valmet RK 62. This 13-inch-barrel variant is configured with an adjustable, side-folding SBA3 stabilizing brace rather than a shoulder stock, making it a pistol under the ACE family rather than a rifle despite similar naming conventions in some distributor listings.
