Saw this posted on another board. My AMT Hardballer, bought it in 1978 when it was first introduced, IIRC it was the first, if not the first stainless M1911. AMT and its successor companies long gone. Mine shot too low even with the rear sight fully elevated, sent the slide back, they returned it-or a replacement, shooting fine ever since. A white outline rear sight blade, Pachmayr grips the only modfifications. Fired it in some IPSC matches 1979-1980. never missed a beat, often shot better than people with fancier modified pistols. I read that Harry Sanford of AMT-was a brilliant designer-he also designed the Auto-Mag, but not as capable a businessman.
