Larry Grossman on the history of the Dirty Harry .44 Auto Mag pistol

[@fallouttoonlink]

This gun was also used in the video game, Resident Evil 7. And it was brought back in Resident Evil: Village. The gun in both games are absolutely powerful, it can completely blow the heads of the monsters in the games in a single shot.

[@bryanoliver5550]

Great to see and hear it is Back in Production again , now is a good time to start saving . I`m only familiar with it in Clint Eastwood's movies .

[@captjim007]

Glad to see Larry is still involved, since he was there from almost the beginning. On another note, kind of sad how the original designer/creator Max Gera (who is still alive) got swept away by Harry Sanford at the first smell of money. Thanks Max, this cool looking piece wouldn't be here today if it were not for you.

Glad to see the 44 Auto Mag back in production ( ;

[@ganimed1976]

In my opinion this is the sexiest gun ever produced. It's great that the production now continues.

[@GUNS-GDC]

Totally agree. They are beauties. We have them used on our site every now and then, but they don't last long: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eabYXmOna8l4j8U

[@HopliteWarlord]

I would love to own one of these, but unfortunatly I live in the Nanny State of Australia where owning anything to protect yourself, your family and your property has become an offence. Never allow yourselves to be conned out of your firearms like Australians were in 1996!!

[@TIC4848]

But...but...BUT! Mass shootings!

[@safetyfirstintexas]

I want an 44 auto mag cartridge sub gun firing from open bolt with all the bells and whistles coming in at 9.5 pounds. The ultimate mid range urban truck gun.

[@simonloveless8924]

The best one to buy.

[@Popeii1]

Before "Dirty Harry" there was Mack "The Bastard" Bolan

[@anselford3753]

"The Executioner", if memory serves.

[@D35611]

I have owned an AMT 380 Backup, as well as an AMT Longslide. Both guns were VERY high quality in construction, and to think that the new version is improved is impressive to say the least. Thanks for giving this American icon, another chance Larry. Hopefully, an improved economy will help to sustain it's survival and popularity.

[@TeraQuad]

"Harry" and Beverley hills cop 2 is how I know this gun. Ahhh, the 80's!

[@worldwolf9909]

Hell yeah!!!

[@milansekularac6196]

Awesome!

[@topbreak38]

It's been included in a few video games like the Resident Evil franchise so that might tell you why it's so popular among new shooters.

[@ramishakour8668]

wonderful 🤗🌹🖐

[@gunslingersatoshi]

オートマグをオートジャムといって揶揄するのは、もう時代遅れなんですね。 別の動画ではワンマガジンきっちり撃ってボルトもちゃんとストップしていました。 時代と共にステンレスの加工技術も進み、職人さんの努力や根強いファンもあって、マグナムピストルとしてリニューアル出来たんだろうなぁ、脱帽です‼️

[@MRNOBODY023]

insane price, i'd be in around $1500, but no way 3700, bring the price down to or close to AE 50

[@sahmadi1000]

Automag is like the BMW. People buy BMWs because they are fun to drive. If they want a reliable car to go from point A to B, they buy a Toyota Corola. Obviously the inventor was trying out advance concepts that can always be refined. Long live Harry who had courrarge to try new things.

[@MarkiusFox]

Wonder if they'll offer a barrel, spring (and/or magazine) swap to .50AE. Could really give Magnum Research a run for their money.

[@AndyCinDallas]

No .50 AE on the map. 357 AMP and .45 Win Mag, yes.

[@chrismc410]

@@AndyCinDallas making it shoot regular .44 Magnum would be the logical choice.

[@AndyCinDallas]

@@chrismc410 - why is that logical?

[@chrismc410]

@@AndyCinDallas no need to buy a proprietary cartridge that will take years to become mainstream IF it becomes mainstream. A gun you can't find ammunition for is a paperweight. The best way to avoid that is chamber it in a caliber that already is mainstream. .44 Remington Magnum is available anywhere that sells ammunition. Feeding rimmed cartridges in a box magazine isn't as difficult as it once was. Magnum Research and Coonan have proved that.

[@AndyCinDallas]

@@chrismc410 - who cares about mainstream? The caliber is what it is and I have no issue finding ammo or cases for handloading. With that said, I think they just need to get the damn thing out the door successfully *first* before fiddling around with other calibers.

[@almathias6538]

I wish I could buy one but I can’t get a hold of anyone at Automag

[@whiskeypapa8842]

When I think of a Wildly, I think of Paul Kearsey's .475 in Deathwish3. (Man, do I miss Charles Bronson's acting.)

[@AndyCinDallas]

It's not a Wildey, but yeah - Bronson was a legend. Sad how he died :(

[@shawnweed265]

My uncle and big game hunter, Pete Bello, worked with Harry and AMT had serial number 002 of the Automag. A great pistol. As was the AMT Hardballer 1911 variant.

[@Nightstroller34]

These pistols are not listed in "Guns.com"

[@jakudahsymba5453]

Other than the very small crowd that will want a Dirty Harry Retro pistol, I think most people would just buy a Desert Eagle in 44 mag.. Unless this pistol is wayyyy cheaper...

[@AndyCinDallas]

It's an enthusiast's pistol, for sure.

[@simonloveless8924]

What's the price?

[@GUNS-GDC]

We have them used on our site from time to time, around 3 - 5K. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eabYXmOna8l4j8U

[@rodneygreenman8107]

I wonder what happened to this product? Can NOT find out any thing from the BBB on them.I have not seen any new info on this pistol this year.I think the Bank thing has destroyed this company.

[@G.P_79]

How many rounds does the mag carry?

[@AndyCinDallas]

7

[@G.P_79]

@@AndyCinDallas thanks

[@bobmiller970]

I want one

[@Headshot51423]

Really would want to get one, but close to 4 grand is WAY too expensive. I’m a huge fan of the Dirty Harry movies and recently purchased a Model 29 exactly like the one used in the movie for $800, and I’ve seen original AutoMags for less than $2500 so it kind of baffles me why they’re this expensive

[@AndyCinDallas]

Simple - economies of scale. 100,000 revolvers are cheaper to produce per unit than a small run of a precision-made custom pistol.

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

@@AndyCinDallas BINGO!!! Winner Winner! MONTANA ELK-STEAK-DINNER!! you nailed it my friend. You nailed it!!

[@MrDream5]

Cost for one???

[@pimplystikage836]

I would love to have one but 3.5k is a little steep for me to justify. I would go maybe 2.5k max.

[@orlandonostagiafever1964]

There were some problems with this gun right ?

[@이동연-c6d]

That’s tragic.

[@joshjennings5738]

Jesse James in 15 year's .

[@gruntspy44]

How much?

[@AndyCinDallas]

$3.5k for the 6.5" Classic, $3.8k for the 8.5"

[@polarjet1833]

You gotta ask yourself one question do I feel lucky. Well do ya punk

[@oilhammer04]

$4.00/round

[@AndyCinDallas]

Not any more. SBR Ammunition is producing it for about $1 a round and the dies/cases are available for reloading.

[@Need_Binding]

Are the new Automags not in .44 magnum?!

[@AndyCinDallas]

Same bullet and same velocity as the .44 Mag but nope - AutoMag is a different case. Old-timers used to cut down .308, .30-06 or .270 brass to make the case.

[@alainmorin]

Not actually shooting it... Err.

[@izodfrog]

Does anyone have a new one or is this just hot air?

[@robgraff]

None have been delivered yet.
