A total of 91 Semovente DA 105/25s were produced. It was considered to be the best Italian assault gun/tank destroyer built during the war. After the Italian armistice in 1943, 26 were confiscated and issued to the German 336th Infantry Division and the 26th Panzer Division of Army Group C. As late as December, 1944, 66 were still on the strength of Army Groups C and F in Italy and the Balkans.
