has anyone every shot one of these or owned one of these they look like a good ultra small backup gun? so jam o matic or reliable little gun? http://gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=5209699 |
| Junk-there was a post on Full auto about these-I think that guy's shot 3' to the left. Look at a Glock 36 or Kimber CDP (whatever the little Kimber is called). If you need an even smaller gun a S&W revolver is a good answer (although I have heard good things about the new Charter arms guns and they have a REALLY cheap .38). |

My former boss bought one from another guy at our dealership. We took it down to the range and didn't get any further than the first shot. The slide came back and slit the web of his hand between thumb and forefinger just as clean as a surgeon's scalpel. Blood all over the place. Had to have stitches. Other than that it is too heavy and wide for effective concealment imho. After that demonstration, I bought a Seecamp.32. |
| I had the .380 DAO model, one of the early ones. I sent it back to AMT twice before the bugs were worked out of it. It was small but heavy. It was adequate as a back up piece. I have seen cruiser video of a Deputy Sheriff somewhere in Georgia putting down a B.G. after the B.G. took his duty weapon during a fight. His worked fine. As for the .45 it's a bit larger than the .380 an heavier of course. They use a cut down 1911 magazine. The only one I've fired was owned by another guy I worked with. His worked fine, no problems. Possibly an exception to the rule. |

Had a friend turn me on to the Backup + conversion done by Rocky Mountain Arms www.rockymountainarms.com They rework DA to 12# and install front night sight. Deburr and finish in black Bear Coat. real nice version of making a functional AMT..still pretty heavy and bulky but runs like a top. |
