you can, be like me and ditch the wife... LOL well a little clarification is in order... i never had nor needed a wife. always had bad luck in picking them, i like type A, they play type A, until they get comfortable and turn into type B. now, being a grown up that i am i saw through all the BS pretty quick and they were asked politely to pack their trash and go. iff'n i wanted to spend $2100 on a Bushmaster AR15 or $1400 on a Springfield Armory TRP Operator, i wasn't taking any lip.
disclaimer...... sorry ladies, not disrespect mean't.

Well, there are a few special factors at work, most likely.
I've wanted this since I was around 8 or 10 yrs old, and she knows I've wanted one at least the 25yrs we've been together. They are also rare. This is the first time I've actually been able to buy one, as in pay for it. She also knows it's been a real bitchin' year, what with my dad's cancer and passing, and my sister's drama piled on top.
It took a long time, but she finally realized guns were like an investment, there are far worse things to spend money on. I've really slowed down on buying, and had been selling lately.
I couldn't get by with it all the time. I did this time.
Even she agreed it's a cool gun, she wants to shoot it once, then decide if she will ever shoot it again.

So are you gonna leave us hangin on what kind of gun? Lol. On that note, a customer of mine showed me his 1907 .380 that I would say is a 95% condition. First one I've seen since I was a kid. It was pretty advanced being a striker fired gun in 1907.
Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
Lol.
I figured someone would ask, sooner or later.
The gun is a tde north Hollywood manufactured (second run, after auto mag Corp went bankrupt) model 180 automag pistol, Cal 44 amp.

I saw a Pasadena 180 for like 5 grand once. Always wanted to shoot one.

I await the arrival of dies, brass, and bullets.
You come down this way, I can fix that problem.

I learn something new from you guys all the time. I never had heard of a Pasadena 180 until now. I know what an auto mag is but had never heard it called by that. Don't know how much you paid but Cabala's has one for sale $3,999.00 Such a deal its under 4 grand.
Can't you make ammo from cut off 308 brass?

So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.
They call them a Pasadena model because of where they were made, which also usually indicates where in the timeline of the different evolutions of the AMT products it was made, and how valuable it is to a collector.

Yeah, there are something like 11 names attached to the gun over the years, as it was made by different people and places. The guns were often sold at an extreme loss, several went bankrupt. Several were custom makers, making both original types, as well as customs with many variables. Purists don't see these customs as originals.
Yes, you can cut down 308, 30-06, or even 270 brass, but then it has to be inside reamed. Why buy all that tooling when starline makes brass? Only going to get a few hundred anyway, it's not going to be my edc.
This one was under $2500, and came with two mags.
I actually started an automag from scratch build several years ago. I have a barrel blank, upper blank, bolt blank, and lower blank, but have been stalled by time and funds since. I had acquired two unfinished mag bodies and Springs. I will make floorplates and followers for them, and have 4 mags.
