AMT Backup 45 acp

I have carried this gun in my truck and in my back pocket for many years. Yes its heavy and the trigger is terrible, but, certainly good enough for combat range and the gun has been completely reliable through over 2,000 rounds of all kinds of ammo, factory and handloads.

I just this week changed to a Kahr PM-9 polymer framed stainless slide in caliber 9 m/m that weighs very little and dissappears in the back pocket of my jeans. I also got a new North American Arms NAA380acp stainless pistol and its just as cute as it can be. I bought both so I could compare them and the Kahr stays and the NAA is for sale. Decision made in one hour at the range.

Both were completely reliable right out of the box and reasonably accurate especially the Kahr. I also tried a Kahr in 40 S&W and it was brutal in recoil, much worse than the old AMT 45 backup.
