Picked up this AMT Backup last week.

Somebody carried this old AMT Backup (.380 ACP) a lot. It's pretty well worn, but I haven't seen one in years and the pawn shop price was too good to pass up.

My Retro Wheelgun

Here’s one I inherited from my great grandfather on my mother’s mother’s side. It’s a High Standard Sentinel.22LR, nine round revolver with six inch barrel.

I don’t know its exact age, but it’s older than I am, and I was born in 1968.

My Companion of The Night: Beretta Edition

Nothin’ More Italian or Retro than a Beretta 1934… not mine (internet picture), but it’s like my Lord & Savior… everywhere I go, it goes; and it’s never failed me. My S&W Mdl 49 appreciates the company and backup.

Woo hoo! First post!

One of the very first mouse/retro guns that I ever bought was an AMT DAO Backup in .380. I bought it new back in the 80's. I still have it, along with another DAO Backup in .380 and two in 9 mm. I still carry them from time to time. This was back in the time where there were very few small, dehorned carry pistols in stainless in major calibers.
