I hope to have mine soon - I'll review it then.
Back in 1970's there was a Gun store in Oceanside California had a dual set .357 & .44 Auto Mag for sale at $1800.00 in their window. Drool would run down the side of many a young Marines mouth looking at those "Purty Guns". Course, only made about $3000.00 a year before taxes back then.
Would be a fun gun to have; but I got too many toys that are being ignored for now.

They certainly look better than a Desert Eagle or a Wildey. Hopefully they are of good quality.

And I almost convinced myself I had enough guns...

Hi...
I read a few of those books back in the early '70s.
Ex Vietnam vet that went on a personal war against the Mafia.
I'll be curious to see how they do shooting. Too bad Kent Lomont isn't still here, that's a man who could do an Automag review!
They were, and still are one of the best looking large semi autos.
Where's the Kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth shattering Kaboom.

Back about 1972 I had gotten a nice 16g Parker SxS on a trade. A gun shop wanted that gun bad. I do believe he had a guy lined up to buy it. He told me he would buy it cash or would do me much better if I took trades. Well He had some sleepers not selling. I ended up with 2 new 44 Auto Mags and 2 green Colt ARs and some cash. I don’t remember price of Auto Mags but wasn’t unreasonable a new 1911 Colt was $100 at the time.
Waiting for the review. Who is making the ammo?
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!
Men who don't understand women fall into two categories: bachelors and husbands!
What are they selling for?
Totally agree about Kent. I have all the Gun Digest and Handloader Digest write-ups he did on the Automag from tuning them to loading and trouble shooting. Unfortunately by the time I started camping and shooting with Kent he had moved on from them.
True, but he moved on into NFA stuff which was just as interesting. Like everything he did he went at it like killing snakes. I do miss him, didn't see him as much after he moved west.

Remember going into LA area with Mom, when I was young teenager. Stopped by the factory store and tried to talk Mom into buying one of the 44's and just sticking it in a drawer till I turned 21. IIRC, it was $279. She wouldn't do it
YOU DO!. The .44 mag is made from cut down .308's and the .357's are made from same.

Blew a lot of rounds at the strip mines around Dugger and Linton, Indiana. After he moved to Salmon just got to visit when he was at Knob Creek. Still miss him.
That's where I first heard of the Automag. My dad would bring back the books from business-trips to the US and I'd devour them all.
Most Automag owners handload, but Starline makes brass and SBR Ammunition makes factory 240gr ammo.
$3,495 for 6.5", $3,795 for 8.5". The Founders' Editions (all sold) were $3,995.
