The Campo-Giro 1913/16 is a vintage Spanish semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm Largo. It features a blowback action, a tubular slide with aggressive serrations, and an 8-round capacity. While it has a last-round hold-open, the pistol is noted for its stiff slide, heavy recoil due to the full-power cartridge, and awkward grip ergonomics that can impact the shooter's knuckle. The sights are described as rounded and difficult to use, despite an easy-to-operate safety lever.
