I've got an older model AMT .380 Backup from the '80's. It's the pre-Galena Industries single action. I've heard that they can be hit or miss on reliability.

Mine has been quite reliable. I have a friend who has one from the same time period, and his is reliable also.

I did open the magazine lips slightly, to increase the feed angle. It shoots hollowpoints well, has a fairly good trigger and if you take the time to align the tiny sights, it's surprisingly accurate. 7 yds would be no problem for even a headshot, given the time needed to aim.

It's a bit heavy for it's size, but that helps tame the rather snappy recoil.
