Haven't shot one since I was a kid.
Pops buddy had one.
Don't think it was a Jurras version.
Coworker had a couple of those.
If it shoots good and holds up...............heck yeah.
Looks cool, but w my old eyes iron sights might be a thing of the past.
Dunno if the new ones could be set up for a reflex.

I wouldn’t mind shooting one but I would not own one. None of the guys in the video are enjoying themselves.
 
Looking at the way it fires in slow motion...

...the entire barrel assembly...

That's one big high - impulse chunk of steel acting like a short - stroke piston on a comparatively light frame!



I think invoking momentum would be reasonable to explain the muzzle flip! :rofl:

Imagine a five coins transferring all their energy, er, momentum...

...to one coin! :rofl:

I R engineer!

I want one.

Can't remember where I last saw it.

I remember Charles Bronson wielded a Wildey.

Who used the Automag? Was it in one of the "Dirty Harry" movies?

It was called Sudden Impact and yes it was a Dirty Harry.

Horace King: “You've got to strain the remains for the fingerprints.”
Harry Callahan: “Well, this is the .44 Magnum Auto-Mag and it holds a 300-grain cartridge. And, if properly used, it can remove the fingerprints.”
 
Long before Dirty Harry and Sudden Impact... there was Mack Bolan as the Executioner, as was mentioned in the interview. That's where I first learned of the AutoMag; I wanted one for some years, because of the books, and even looked at one terribly abused one at a LGS in Columbus, OH back in the '90's, but the cost pretty much put it in Unobtanium Land.
 
I have a TDE in .44AMP made in late 1972. After cleaning up the burrs and doing the necessary polishing, it runs 100% with my loads. I also have a 10 1/2" .357AMP barrel - it takes all of 5 seconds to swap calibers.
The .44 looks scary, but it's a pussycat to shoot. Oddly enough. it puts 180, 240 and 265gr loads into the same tight group at 50 yds.
Favorite loads are the 180gr at 1890fps in the .44 and the 150gr at 1990fps in the .357.
