Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The AMT (Arcadia Machine & Tool) AutoMag III stands as a distinctive and unconventional semi-automatic pistol, chambered in powerful calibers like .30 Carbine or 9mm Winchester Magnum—cartridges more commonly associated with carbines and long guns than handguns. Introduced in the early 1990s and manufactured in limited quantities starting in 1992, the AutoMag III was engineered to deliver high velocity and long-range accuracy in a semi-auto platform reminiscent of the Colt Government Model. Constructed entirely of stainless steel, it featured a 6 3/8-inch barrel and weighed a hefty 43 ounces unloaded, making it a robust and stable platform for managing the recoil and muzzle blast associated with these high-powered rounds. The pistol's white-outline Millett adjustable rear sight and red ramp front sight provided a clear and precise sight picture, while the inclusion of grooved Lexan grips helped to maintain a firm hold during firing. In terms of performance and collector appeal, the AutoMag III occupies a niche yet intriguing corner of firearms history. Its use of rifle-caliber ammunition in a handgun platform provides an experience few other production pistols offer, bridging the gap between handgun and carbine ballistics. Although not mass-produced, its unique chamberings and solid build quality earned it a loyal following among enthusiasts who appreciated its raw power and unconventional design. The .30 Carbine variant, in particular, offered shooters the novelty of firing the same ammunition as the WWII-era M1 Carbine but from a large-framed semi-automatic pistol. The AutoMag III’s low production volume—especially in the 9mm Winchester Magnum chambering, which was only manufactured in 1993—adds to its rarity and desirability. As such, it remains a highly sought-after piece for collectors looking for a bold example of 1990s American firearms innovation.
