If you have a hand capable of squeezing a very heavy trigger, one of the very best “bad breath range” guns is the .45 ACP AMT Backup.

If that's "good" then "bad" has no meaning!

Ergonomics of a thumbscrew, 12 lb. trigger with a two inch barrel, bright sides, bites like a badger, and so heavy it feels like it's made from depleted uranium!

Yeah...carried one for two years ;o)

Hmmmn well .....

At close range, the trigger is not a problem (yeah, I shoot at my place so range time is easy come by) and .45ACP or .45 ACP+P is better than the smaller cartridges, IMHO.
At backup range, a .45 is better than anything I could find in that small a size.

Ergonomics of a thumbscrew, [depends on ones hands, I suppose] Great snark, by the way.

12 lb. trigger with a two inch barrel, [3” barrel, actually]

bright sides, [lots of ways to blacken SS]

bites like a badger, [worse than that on the front end, much worse] ;-)

and so heavy it feels like it’s made from depleted uranium!

[Some LEOs had ‘em fitted with tritium sights and something of a trigger job by a shop in WPB. I couldn’t find one of those, alas.]

How did yours feed? Any reliability problems?

Yeah...carried one for two years ;o)
