Frankly, not something i would carry. For that price, a Bersa maybe. I wouldn't carry a Bersa, but plenty people do.

No personal experience with amt "9mm". But did own an amt .380 (9mm short) years ago - long enough to spend a bunch of time testing trying to find a brand of ammo that it liked. And $ on gunsmithing to try to make it go bang every time. It never came close to running through a full box without at least one malfunction The thing was heavy and still hurt to shoot. Current .380 LCP is much lighter - and far less painful to shoot. Best use I found for the AMT 380 was as a trot line weight.
