Function
The short-recoil operated Auto Mag pistol featured a rotary bolt with locking lugs located at the front similar to the M16 / AR-15 rifle. The Auto Mag is a modest weight pistol designed to give handgun owners .44 Magnum power in a semi-automatic pistol. The .44 Auto Mag was designed to shoot .429-inch, 240-grain bullets at about the same velocity as the .44 Magnum revolver.
