THE LCP BEFORE THERE WAS AN LCP: THE AMT BACK UP

[Talyn]

Revolutionary for its time, the Disco-era AMT Back Up was a pocket-sized .380 that predated today's more mature mouse gun designs.

THE AMT BACK UP

I had an AMT backup II . It was a nice little piece. Did everything you could ask of a pocket pistol.

I had an AMT backup in 45 acp, reliable but no fun to shoot. Sold it in order to fund another gun.

Looks like a nifty pocket pistol. I carry an LCP II as a backup gun, and would definitely have bought an AMT if I were shooting at the time they were being sold.

That was a popular backup pistol with a number of officers back in my younger days. Trouble was, the .380 cartridges available at the time were less than stellar.
