I have a friend who has an Automag in 22 mag. He thought it was a cool idea. He's right, it is. Its also a difficult execution of that idea. At best the guns are finicky about ammo. It took a lot of different attempts before he found one that feeds fairly reliably. Still, its not suitable as a self defense gun due to the feeding problems.

With most ammo, you're lucky if you get one full mag to feed. I believe the Winchester FMJ ammo was the best. We tried that after reading some posts about it on rec.guns or tx.guns.

Its a fun gun to fiddle with. But if you're buying it to be dead reliable, I think you may end up a little disappointed.
