So AndyC, are you going to change your forum name to The Executioner, or just Mack Bolan? ;-)

In the second angle pic from the factory, it looks like it's smiling at you where the upper meets the lower.

I have absolutely no use for a handgun like that but I'm a bit envious. Does that make me a bad person?

Nothing wring with a range toy or two. Shooting should still be fun. :)

From what I understand, the Auto Mag Ltd. is now taking orders, and money, if you were on their waiting list, signed up. Looks like for those who are interested their wait is over to purchase one. Just some time to manufacture them. Congratulations to Andy for snagging one of the Founders Edition. Hope yours arrive soon, want to see pictures, will be a nice edition to your collection.

I had left a VM for the owner of the new AutoMag company to make sure I was in the queue for a 6.5" model. He called back and casually quizzed me a little re AutoMag history and, to cut a long story short, he offered me one of the last two Founder's Editions (8.5"). I figure I'm due something special after dabbling in crypto-currencies and making healthy profits, so time to reward myself - so I accepted.

The pistol should arrive Feb sometime.
Very cool. Congrats!

This has been an interesting thread - bringing up names from the long ago past: "The Executioner" and "Mack Bolan." I consumed those novels many, many years ago.

I had every book in the series. I finally quit when the ghost writers started going completely off the rails. The quality really went downhill after Don Pendleton sold off the rights.
