Nice !
You got it . Congratulations :)
Thank you kindly :) It took a long time but it was worth the wait - I had planned to shoot it immediately but everyone and their dog is out for a Sunday drive, so it slowed me down and there's not much time left at the local range now.
Very nice looking pistol. Congrats. Does it have any provision for adding a red dot style optic?
That is one fine lookin piece of machinery. I hope it shoots as good as it looks. Congratulations!
A ruger mkll on steroids , that looks neat and you have it now Congratulations
Beautiful, how long was the wait?
Thank you, all - I'm stoked.

37 months, since I got in line back in the pre-production days.
No direct provision for red-dots specifically - the old-timers did work out methods to add scope-mounts, many of which were railed.
Ha, my first though was "Man, that Nambu has been working out."Quote:

Great looking gun. Congratulations. Please let us know how it shoots, functions, everything. Have to live vicariously as they have been out of my price range, but someday.
Congratulations on your new acquisition. Hope it shoots as well as it looks. Looking forward to a range report.

Congrats on one cool gun!
And darned good shooting, too.
Thank you - I'll have to go back soon and see if I can somehow video things better so you can see the gun shooting.
I bet that made your day.

Holy Crud... that thing sounds like the low rumble of a vintage Harley!!!
wow... that is one cool Gun..
Is the front sight blade changeable?
Nice looking gun, great first shot!
That is good shooting ! I don't do that good off the bench.
You gotta love a new gun that the first shot is dead center :)
I went back and found someone else who was willing to hold my phone for a bit.
I wasn't muscling the pistol, preferring to go for accuracy over recoil-control - my thumb-position is a bit weird and I realized on seeing the video that I must have been trying to avoid the barrel-latch:

Can't change the front-sight, no - it's all one piece with the barrel. This pistol is a pleasure to shoot - very very reliable (unlike many of the originals) thanks to over 50 improvements the new company made, plus their in-house magazines.
Congrats. That is one fine looking pistol.
I have dies and brass but no gun. PM me if interested
I remember first seeing the Automag in 1973 in a small LGS in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (of all places) where I lived at the time.
It was awesome and beautiful and expensive and every guy desired it, like an exceptionally beautiful head-turning young woman.
As a low-income teenager just barely able to vote, both were sadly out of my league. :(

That is just too cool...congrats!!
NICE! Congratulations.
Thank you - it was a lot of money and a long time coming but so worth it in the end.
Soooo cool
I am going to get one of these for sure.
Looks to be very nice shooting in the vid recoil wise.
Congrats and ya I'm all kinds of JELLY !!!!!
That thing has some snap to it!
I admit to holding it not 100% tight - I was more concerned with accuracy - but it seems to feel little more comfortable to shoot than the shorter 6.5"

Wow, gorgeous gun. I wish my Dad was still alive, he had a Wildey, and the Grizzly by LAR both in 45 win mag. But he always wanted a good 44 Auto Mag.
I love my original 357 Automag. Sadly due to the silliness of my government, I cant have the new 44 and the company has no plans for making a new version in 357 or 30 AMP... Bit of a bummer..... It was take my cash now....
They're apparently looking into .357 AMP for the future; there's a lot of interest from buyers as it's an awesome cartridge, but I assume they have to get the .44 orders out the way first.
Wow. Dirty Harry eat your heart out. Made my day.
