Recoil was not bad. For a 3inch barrel in a all stainless frame it was neither a lamb or a lion. I think my Glock 36 has more recoil than the 45acp Backup. Do not forget that these handguns were designed

Finally made it to the range to test fire my AMT backup in 45acp. Well the 9mm ran like a champ,again. But the "firing pin lock" on the 45 slide would work fine for 3-4 rounds, then it would

I am interested in hearing how your AMT .45 Backup does.
Would still like to own one of these when they can be deemed consistently reliable.

First post here. I see that others are looking for AMT parts. High Standard Manufacturing has the needed parts. 1-800-272-7816.They are located in Houston Tx. Hope this helps.

Does anyone have a sources of magazines for the single action version of the .380 AMT? Preferably in Canada, but if not, some company willing to ship to Canada.

AMT Backup .45 (by High Standard of Texas) - I owned one of these for a while but it seemed to misfeed quite a bit, rendering it undependable.
Because it remains probably the smallest .45 ACP

AMT Backup .380 - I have owned my AMT .380 since 1982 and have had no regrets.
My .AMT Backup .380 remains my concealed "pocket carry" pistol for those times when I cannot carry my Glocks
