Anyone ever own or fired one of these? I saw one in the pawn shop and it looked pretty sweet. Just wondering if it's a decent gun or what.

I have nort seen one that shot acceptable groups at 25 yards. The stainless 1911 pistols are not as easily tuned up as blue steel 1911's.

I had a 5" Hardballer. Bill Thompson did a trigger job on it for me. He fitted a barrel bushing and a new barrel link on it. It shot fairly well after that. Never had any problems with it after that.

It's kinda hit and miss with the older AMTs if you got a good one it was great,if you got a bad one it was a nightmare.

I don't have any experience with the pistols made after the original company went broke and change hands 3 or 4 times. They were sold as IAI and other names too.

I've got an AMT Hardballer Longslide made in Irwindale, CA. According to the Blue Book they left Irwindale in 1998. I've never had any problems with mine. I may have just gotten lucky and got a good one.

I had one years ago, stainless was too soft and galled, never could get it to work reliably.
