.44 Auto Mag???

[Ksail101]

I have been tryin to search and find out more about this gun. In no way am I thinking about buying one, but what I dont understand is how come it isnt more popular.

Does anyone here have one or shot one?

What is the price for one, and is ammo different, cause I would think that a revoler round wouldn't really cycle in an Semi-Auto.

It seems like a good concept and I know they made some different barrel sizes (actually I might have that wrong) But for a self-defense gun that would be slim and probably more comfortable in a sholder rig than a revolver, why is not carried more, I guess this goes up to my first question on popularity. But as for a bedside gun to get you to your rifle I wouldnt have any concerns of lack of power.

I would think that hand gun huning would be good too with it.

I would love to hear what you all think cause this is a gun that I havent seen on a forum talked about. I guess it will get us out of the relm of Glock and 1911's (my favorites) for a min.

.44 auto mag by AMT I believe  http://www.the-dirtiest.com/automag.htm

What I heard was that the recoil and pressure from the 44AM ammo, literally shook the pistol to pieces. It was only made for a short time, and the ammo was never widely available. By the time it had appeared in the Dirty Harry movie (2nd or 3rd, I don't remember which), production had already ended.

The host on the previous video post incorrectly identifies the Auto Mag as a gas action.  It's actually a long recoil action.  Watch it in slo-mo here:

The video pretty much explains why no one carries the Auto Mag, (except Mack Bolan  ) It's a CANNON.

I really think though that if I could get one that is reliable, and enough ammo, that if the end of the world was coming, the .44 auto mag and Serbu super shorty would be a couple firearms that I would want hanging off my MOLLE gear somehow.

 You could shoot through small countries
