We entered an agreement with Excel Industries to assemble and complete the Auto Mag. We originally had planned on manufacturing the Auto Mag in Florence, SC and Excel Arms was making the magazine and frame however, they offered to complete the entire gun and have Larry Grossman, the former head of production, oversee this process. In August 2017 we stated moving all production equipment from Florence. Excel has begun to setup a production line. We expect to begin shipping new firearms by the end of the year. In the meantime Excel has agreed to hand produce 77 complete Founders Edition handguns with 8 ½ barrels. We are selling 50 and using the other 27 for media, friends and family.

Used to read The Executioner in my youth...it was a series of novels about a super badass crime fighter who carried an Automag. He wasted lots of bad guys, and I thought an Automag would be THE pistol to own.

I would think a pistol with the spring recycling the action and absorbing some of the recoil, would have less recoil than a revolver. Wouldn't swear to to it, tho.

The original required large hands for a secure grip. I wish them well, but think the era of the .44 Auto Mag may have passed.

There was a reason it's failed every time they put it on the market, that hasn't changed.

Not a large market for biga$$ autoloaders, and Desert Eagle pretty well has it sewn up.

It won’t make it this time either. It lists for $3,499.
