Now my general feeling about this little AMT Backup, is that it will be a handful when having to use it, and the trigger pull is extremely hard approx 10 lbs. I do remember owning a .380 AMT Backup, and it was loud and bucked like no tomorrow.]

That company is out of business and you can't find parts or service for them from what I'm told.

I had the AMT Backup in both 9mm and .45....got rid of both because they will chew your hand up in a heartbeat....that slide comes back with force....hated both of them.....

I held one last fall in the local range/shop...the trigger curve was all wrong and the tip of the trigger stabbed my finger as I tried to pull it...I'd love to see the gun done RIGHT...the concept is great...AMT should have stayed with the Hardballer...these hurt their rep a lot...so far, the Kahr seems to be the smallest I'd buy...jared's CS45 might be nearly that small...a .45's gonna bump you when you go that small..but it'll bump the other guy worse...
