The AMT Automag III is a single action semi-automatic pistol made by Arcadia Machine and Tool (AMT). It was created by Harry Sanford, inventor of the original .44 AutoMag pistol. The Automag III was principally chambered for the .30 Carbine cartridge, which was originally designed for the World War II-era M1 Carbine. It was also one of the few pistols available in the 9mm Winchester Magnum cartridge, but only the original AMT production pistols were made in this chambering, however; later Galena production was limited to .30 Carbine models.[3] The pistol is made of stainless steel and has an 8-round magazine.[4]
