That is the price for the slip-on grip...but I suspect you knew thatHow old is that ad? For $12.95 I would buy it then figure out the maker. I do not know the make.
It is not.Is this one of them?
Some will disagree, I think the AMT in .380 at least for me was an excellent small hideout gun for the day.
That's because the mainspring was used to help retard extractionMy .45 feeds and shoots reloaded SWCs just fine but its trigger is a bear.
Later, in the office, he emptied it, handed it to me and asked me how to field-strip it for cleaning. I could not discover The Trick to it. I told him that all I could figure was that he might have to remove some pins to breakdown that pup. I gave him the name of a fellow at, IIRC, Atlantic & Pacific Arms (the guy trying to talk me into buying a .45acp Ingram+specialty Suppressor) who might know the secret.
You were thinking of Wilkinson Arms. He made a pair of pocket pistols named "Linda" and "Sherry."Anyone recognize the gun in this ad? It looks like it might be a neat little pocket shooter. I remember reading of a line of pocket .22s that bore different girls' names, perhaps the names of its creator's daughters. Is this one of them?

... The housing is held in with a single transverse pin and friction. After taking out the pin, I would lock the slide to the rear by using a nickel or dime in the hammer channel inside the rear of the slide, since there is no slide stop lever. Then I would stick a wooden spoon with a wide handle up the magazine well to knock out the firing pin housing from below. ...
While my double action ,380 AMT really did not have sights, I was able easily hit pepper poppers and such at combat ranges. I did kill a couple snakes also with mine. I have only one of these and mine was reliable and IIRC I only use FMJ in mine. I believe FMJ to be the best ammo for the .380, but then people have written pages on that subject.barnetmill
I wouldn't disagree with you as I had a few of them years ago. But overall quality could be hit or miss with them, triggers always seemed to be on the heavy side, and they really could have used some decent sights. For their size though, in a .380,they really couldn't be beat, that is until Colt came out with their Mustang. I sold my last AMT Back-Up to have enough money to get a Mustang and have been very happy with my choice!
