AMT pistols

is AMT still in business? If so are they GTG? A saw a sweet 9mm backup pistol made by them i really want.

There long out of business, but i have had experience with an amt backup in 380 and it was junk, would not feed hollowpoints, would jam on ball, a PITA to strip, only good thing about it is its cheap, that being said a i shot a bersa thunder that was not much more and would eat anything. I would not buy it unless its 100$ or less, amt backups are in there with Jennings and all the other Saturday night specials.

now being manufactured by High Standard in Texas, I have a 9mm , but it needs a firing pin, previous owner liked to dry fire a lot, I have owned and shot Backups in 380, 9mm, 38 super and 45, never had a 40, the only ones I ever had problems with were the 380's, they all seem a bit heavy(all stainless) for their size, but something has to be said for all metal guns,there will be something there 50 years from now, I wonder about the plastic pistols we are all drawn to, at one time we did not think it was suitable for grips, but now we buy them with frames made of it, not sure what the next step is
