Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The AMT Backup is a small semi-automatic pistol. It was first manufactured by the Ordnance Manufacturing Corporation (OMC) of El Monte, CA. The first Backup guns were chambered in .380 ACP and produced by OMC. OMC produced a short run of these pistols before Arcadia Machine & Tool purchased the tooling and took over production. The Backup pistols were manufactured in El Monte, Covina, California, and Irwindale, CA by AMT. The original AMT Backup was produced with a single-action-only (SAO) trigger mechanism. Later on, the “Small Frame” and “Large Frame” Backup pistols utilized a double-action-only (DAO) mechanism. The Backup pistols were manufactured by AMT and later by Galena Industries (until November 2001).SAO pistols featured a manual safety, while DAO guns relied on their heavy trigger pull for safe handling. The AMT Backup was available in a wide range of calibers: .22 LR, .380 ACP, .38 Super, 9×19mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, .400 Cor-Bon, and .45 ACP. The pistol's marketing slogan was "the smallest, most powerful" backup pistol available (referring to the .45 ACP version).
