.44 AutoMag - .44 AMP (Auto Magnum Pistol)

The .44 Auto Mag Pistol has a long and strange history. The Original company AMC (Auto Mag Company) or AMP (Auto Mag Pistol) had a controversial start and the gun was assembled and sold through a variety of different companies (or variations of the same company) between 1971 and 1982. AMC/AMP went bankrupt in 1972 due to really unsound business practices, and other companies continued making or assembling the weapon for another 10 years with varying degrees of success. But ultimately all production of the weapon stopped in 1982. The version most commonly seen (at least in chains of U.S. 'used gun' commerce) is the AMT .44 Automag, which is the 8th incarnation of the weapon (built in Covina, CA and assembled in Irwindale, CA). The .44 Automag was given a brief bit of glory when it was featured in the 1983 Clint Eastwood Movie Sudden Impact but that didn't revive any attempts to bring the gun back into production.

AMT (Arcadia Machine and Tool) was one of the followup companies that tried to resurrect the Auto mag Pistol (While the name Automag was used the designs had very little to do with the origional Auto Mag handgun). AMT manufactured the Automag II in .22 WMR, Automag III in .30 Carbine, Automag IV in .45 Winchester Magnum and Automag V in .50 Action Express. AMT also made a Baby Auto Mag chambered for .22LR.

The AMC .44 AutoMag pistol and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
