Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The AMT Skipper, produced by Arcadia Machine & Tool (AMT) in California from approximately 1980 to 1984, was introduced as a compact variant of the popular Hardballer series. AMT, founded in 1977, gained recognition for its stainless-steel clones of Colt 1911-style pistols and the iconic Auto Mag line. Designed to pack the performance of a full-size 1911 into a smaller, more carry-friendly platform, the Skipper featured a 4-inch barrel, stainless-steel frame and slide, adjustable sights, and match-grade trigger—offering features that typically cost extra on other pistols. Though its production run was brief and limited, the Skipper earned a reputation as a reliable, accurate compact 1911. Reports from the era cite solid accuracy and dependable operation, provided maintenance such as feed ramp polishing was performed. Its single-stack, six-round magazine and compact dimensions made it an appealing deep-cover or backup gun, but overall quality inconsistencies and limited distribution hindered its mainstream success.
