New production .44 Auto Mag pistols started shipping last month. Just 25 of them, to people who responded to their e-mails and said they wanted to buy an Auto Mag. They were available on a first-come, first-serve basis and weren't available to the public on the website. I turned down the chance to get one because they all had 8.5" barrels and I'd rather have a 6.5" barrel. They're selling more 8.5" barrel pistols now. If you want a 6.5" barrel pistol you can put yourself on the waiting list, or try to. It didn't work for me so I'll have to try a different browser. It kept telling me The verification word is incorrect. You didn't even have the option of being put on the waiting list before. And before they sold those 25 Pre-Sale Classic Editions they had the 6.5" Founder's Editions for sale but I didn't know anything about it until it was too late. They'll also be selling 6.5" and 8.5" uppers to switch with whatever you initially buy.

I found a used original Auto Mag at an auction that's been Mag-Na-Ported. I want a new gun gun like this and if I get it will probably have it Mag-Na-Ported too. I just downloaded some pics showing the porting. And a pic of one of the 25 Special Pre-Sale models they were selling.

Thanks for posting the update and pictures.
I remember drooling over the announcement in the magazines back in the day. I didn't have enough money to rub two nickels together, much less by a gun.

You're welcome, Alf. Maybe someday I'll have pics of my own to post. A lot of those pics were resized down to less than 20%. There are some 5000+ pixel pictures on the site that will really make you drool. Heck, I was drooling so bad I had to flip over my keyboard and empty it before it shorted out. :P The last Auto Mag I saw IRL was at Williams Gun Sight several years ago. I don't remember if it was just priced too high or I was broke at the time. I'm thinking a little of both, but I think the new ones are a lot more. I have the money for one now but should spend it on other more important things, while the house is still standing. I just remembered I have car insurance and house insurance both due about the same time and already got one of the bills. Maybe I can't afford one now either.

If I was going to buy a Wildey, I would get a .475 Wildey Magnum rather than a .45 Winchester Magnum. The .475 caliber is halfway between .45 and .50 caliber, and has heavier bullets and more power than the .45 Win Mag. Charles Bronson's gun from the Death Wish 3 movie is a .475 Brushed Stainless Finish with a 10" barrel and gray rib. They're taking pre-orders for .44 Auto Mag Wildey Survivor pistols and barrel assemblies now too.

By the way, it's very cool. I've seen it in action

It sounds like new production of the .44 Auto Mag pistols has started shipping out, but with limited availability and options for barrel length. If you're interested in getting your hands on one of these guns, it might be worth trying a different browser or reaching out to the company directly to see if you can get on the waiting list for a 6.5"" barrel pistol. In the meantime, if you're looking for other options, 3D Gun Builder has a PF940C 80% pistol frame available for purchase: https://3dgunbuilder.com/product/pf940c-80-pistol-frame/ (https://3dgunbuilder.com/product/pf940c-80-pistol-frame/). It's always good to have options and you never know, you might find something that works for you. Good luck with your search!
