AMT .40
I'm in for the AMT DAO BackUp in .40 cal.
The worst trigger I ever touched. Dry-firing actually made my finger sore, and I'm a carpenter. If the pull was less than twenty pounds, I'd say it was having a good day. But the trigger recess was (seemingly) so full of rocks you couldn't measure it.
Totally inoperative as a repeating firearm. I put 300 factory rounds through it trying to get it to run. A 'smith tried twice, even fabricating a part or something.
No dice. The longest it ever went without stopping was fifteen rounds. Usually it was about eight between sticks.
Even with the gruesome pull and new mainspring, it got into a light-primer strike thing requiring its one good feature, the restrike capability. Sometimes three pulls would do it. Sometimes.
Not bad enough? The chamber separated about a quarter-inch aft of the chamber mouth. Apparently they made them out of two separate parts and then epoxied them into one piece. If you shoot it enough, the epoxy lets go. The empties, if and when they came out, had a circumferential bulge ring a third of the way back from the case mouth.
Hit a barn from the inside? Pah! Couldn't hit a berm if it was buried in it. Couldn't hit its own muzzle crown. Couldn't hit...
Wanna buy a gun?
