Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The IAI (Irwindale Arms Inc.) Automag IV is a robust and distinctive semi-automatic handgun designed to chamber powerful cartridges such as the .45 Winchester Magnum and, more rarely, the 10mm Magnum. Manufactured from 1990 to 1991, this pistol is a continuation of the Auto Mag legacy originally conceived by Harry Sanford, known for pushing the limits of semi-auto handgun ballistics. The Automag IV features a stainless steel construction throughout, giving it a rugged and corrosion-resistant profile while contributing to its hefty 46-ounce unloaded weight. It utilizes a Browning-type short-recoil, locked-breech action, making it capable of handling the high pressures of magnum cartridges. The firearm was available with either a 6½-inch or 8-inch barrel, both of which contribute to increased velocity and better downrange performance. Its inclusion of Millett fully adjustable sights enhances its accuracy potential, especially for long-range target shooting or silhouette competitions where flat-shooting, hard-hitting rounds like the .45 Win Mag excel.

With a single-stack 7-round magazine, the Automag IV was never intended as a high-capacity defensive firearm, but rather as a specialized sidearm for enthusiasts seeking extreme power in a semi-automatic format. The .45 Winchester Magnum cartridge offers formidable ballistics—comparable to light .44 Magnum loads—making it effective for handgun hunting or metallic silhouette shooting. Despite its impressive power and unique styling, the Automag IV suffered from the same challenges that plagued many AMT and IAI pistols: inconsistent reliability, variable build quality, and limited aftermarket support. Many users found that fine-tuning was necessary for optimal performance, especially regarding feeding and ejection. Today, the Automag IV has become a niche collectible, valued by enthusiasts for its rarity, firepower, and its place in the history of American magnum semi-auto pistols. For those willing to manage its quirks, it remains one of the few production pistols capable of delivering magnum-level performance in a semi-automatic package.
