Cool! I'll be interested to see reviews.
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...

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.
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?
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.Quote:

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.Quote:
