^that about sums it up my dad had one for over 10yrs; only fed FMJs (if it fed reliably)--absolutely NO JHPs would feed (included: Fed hydra shoks, UMC JHPs, Win JHPs) takedown is also a PITA, and this even goes for any kind of good cleaning; recoil is pretty stout too to the hand imo, you would be better w/ a KT P3AT or better yet, a SW J-frame |

I bought a M642, but my girlfriend stole it. Now it lives in her purse... Thanks for the facts, guys. Avoid all AMTs... |

No problems with my 45acp Backup (DAO brother to the .380 - not a Browning pattern). Feeds Corbons fine. Unpleasant recoil, but what do you expect.

They are hit/miss. The .45 backup was a lot more popular.
Given the existence of the Kel-tec P3AT, I see no reason to buy an AMT .380. |

Don't know about the .45. The .380 I had was a malfing POS.  I'd get a P3AT first. Oh, wait, I did.

I'm ashamed to admit that I've owned two of them in my younger/stupider days. The firing pin broke on the first one. I sold the second one shortly after I quit drinking and realized what a piece of shit it was. They were much too heavy for their size IMO. DON'T DO IT! IT'S A TRICK! |

Make sure you always wear protective glasses - for when the firing pin shoots back toward your face.
 You can get a Keltec for the same price and carry it in your shirt pocket.
