AMT Back Up 380 Acp - Page 2

AMT are good quality firearms. Some have experienced Stainless to Stainless galling problems. That is an issue that can easily be solved by using the more modern and "slightly heavier than oil" Anti-seize lubricants on the rails.
I would suggest Jardine's Extreme.
Nice little gun. Congrats on getting it.

I'm on my third AMT Backup II. I picked my first one up back when I really wasn't old enough (legally) to carry. Acquired it as a gift from my Dad out of a pawn shop. I had to adjust the magazine lips because it didn't feed properly. After that it ate up the ammo. Sold it and regretted it.

So, I picked up another after about 2 years. Great little carry gun. Just disappears. Left it with an ex-girlfriend after we split. Wanted to ensure she stayed safe. Regretted losing it to her through, not necessarily losing her.

Fast forward about five years and I really wanted to find another. This was right before the Kahrs came out. Ran across one in a pawn shop in GA. Snatched it up and haven't let go this time. I don't carry it much anymore, especially since I have Kahr PM9, which is about the same size. But, I won't let go again. It's nice to have around.

This one was really a shooter the last time I shot it. I could pop cans with it easily at 5-7 yards. It is a solid little pistol and if it functions properly it will definitely do its job.

I use to carry it in an Uncle Mike's IWB or in the back pocket of my jeans behind a check book. I also ankle carried it a few times. It may end up with one of my girls when they get older unless I decide to buy them something else, which I most likely will do. Great little gun though.
