Looking for info RE: AMT Backup .380

[robertrwalsh]

I have just purchased one of these. The owners manuals I have been able to locate are reprints of dubious quality. I am trying to get a READABLE parts list. The ones I have been able to find seem to have a lot of info missing. If anybody can help me out with a good quality copy of the last couple of pages from one of these with the complete info I would appreciate it.

As an former owner of a AMT .380 single action I can advise do NOT leave the hammer cocked for a lengthy period of time. The hammer spring in mine was of dubious quality and died due to cocked storage. Otherwise the pistol worked dependably and was more accurate than one might think. Weight on the heavy side, compared to today's "plastic fantastic" framed ones, of various makes.

Didn't even think of Numrich. Thanks. I will check it out.

I have an original AMT 380 Backup manual. I just sent you a PM to you about it.

This is one of the loudest guns I ever owned and fired. Make sure you wear hearing protection.

Not sure of the exact model you were referring to. The photo attached is for the earlier model that is marked "OMC" on the slide.

I should have specified DAO. Another member has got in touch with me and will send me a copy. Thanks for all the assistance and suggestions.

I have had 2 for almost 30 years. I carried one for years as a BUG. I sincerely hoped that I would never have to shoot it since it kicked like a country mule. Ruger LCP and Kel-Tek P3AT are MUCH more user Friendly.
