PRODUCT OVERVIEW AMT AutoMag V
The AMT Automag V is a large single action semi-automatic pistol made by Arcadia Machine and Tool (AMT). The weapon was created by Harry Sanford, who also invented the original .44 AutoMag pistol. One of the extremely small number of handguns that fire a .50 caliber cartridge, it is also one of the few semi automatic guns that fires the .50 Action Express cartridge, it is said to be “the most ergonomic and lightweight of all of those autoloaders”.Its built-in compensator ports in the barrel assist in keeping muzzle rise to tolerable levels. The recoil, however, is still surprisingly brisk even for the most experienced shooter. The Automag 5 has a 5 shot magazine capacity (5+1 total) and is, like all of the AMT pistols, made primarily of cast stainless steel.
Production quantity was supposed to be 3000 units, numbered 0001-3000 to 3000-3000. This goal was never reached, however. The MK V used the same frame as the MK IV, and pistols have been discovered with MK V frames with MK IV slides and vice versa.
AMT Automag V was designed to fire a .50 caliber cartridge, notably .50 Action Express. It had built-in compensator ports in the barrel assist in keeping muzzle rise to tolerable levels. Furthermore, it was designed to hold a 5-round magazine and made primarily of cast stainless steel.

About the Manufacturer:
Arcadia Machine & Tool, or AMT, was a firearms manufacturer from Irwindale, California that produced a line of pistols using the name AutoMag from 1982 to 1995. These semi-automatic pistols carried a name similar to the sole pistol model that the defunct Auto-Mag Coproration had previously produced. But, there is no connection other than the name similarity. AMT did not fare well in business and eventually went bankrupt. AMT’s assets and trademark were acquired by IAI (Irwindale Arms Incorporated). Later, in 1998, Galena Industries of Sturgis, South Dakota purchased the company and produced firearms in the style of AMT’s until 2001. They were finally acquired by the High Standard Manufacturing Company of Houston, Texas. High Standard still produces various models under the AMT brand, based on original AMT designs.Update: In May of 2018 High Standard Manufacturing closed its doors and is no longer in business.
Automag V, also known as the AutoMag Mark V, is a semi-automatic pistol that was first introduced in the 1980s by the AutoMag Corporation. It was designed as an updated version of the original AutoMag, which was a popular firearm in the 1970s.
The AutoMag V features a powerful .44 Magnum cartridge and a stainless steel construction. It has a large, single-stack magazine that can hold up to seven rounds. The pistol also has an adjustable rear sight and a 6.5-inch barrel that provides excellent accuracy and range.
One of the key features of the AutoMag V is its unique gas-operated recoil system, which helps to reduce recoil and improve accuracy. This system uses gas from the fired cartridge to cycle the slide and eject the spent shell casing.
Despite its popularity among gun enthusiasts, the AutoMag Corporation struggled financially and eventually went bankrupt in the early 1990s. Today, the AutoMag V remains a popular collector’s item and is highly sought after by gun collectors and enthusiasts.
