Does anyone own a Wildey?
- Thread starter xdshooter
- Start date
A store owner, (Saguaro Arms), has one here on display. A bit pretentious displaying what he won't sell but then again, he is sharing a little and in all honesty I havn't tried to make him the offer that he can't refuse.
BTW, Here is Sierra Vista, AZ. just in case you live close enough that you'd wana drive here just to see it.

They r beautiful, but they have very poor/ heavy triggers, and from what ive seen they r more fun to wish for than to own,,,,, people want big bucks for them. more of a novelty gun... id say shoot one or at least try one out before spending that kind of $$$$

No. That was an AMT Automag. .44 AMP. Similar look, but the IMO the Automag was better balanced. Like most AMT designs, the Automag was made by more than one company over it's lifespan. Some of these brands can be quite rare. Other calibers were available as well.

Are these things (Wildeys) still being made? I remember they were brought back into production some years back after a long hiatus, but haven't seen one for sale in a long time.

I do LOVE the Wildey!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lptt1DHFJfg&playnext=1&list=PLB73FD8C6959A0BEA
ANYONE OWN A WILDEY? I do!
I own a Wildey, in .45 Win Mag. Also a .44 Auto Mag (note, two words), as well as an LAR Girzzly, Desert Eagle, and a Coonan. I do know a little bit about these magnum autos.
THe gun used in Sudden Impact was indeed, a .44 Auto Mag. With a special custom barrel, made for the movie.
Auto Mags (two words) are NOT AMT guns. They were made before AMT was in business. The confusion comes from the fact that the designer of the Auto Mag, Harry Sanford, later worked at AMT and that AMT produced a line of pistols named Automag (one word), the Automag II (.22WMR), III (.30 carbine), IV (.45 Win Mag) and V (.50AE). The AMT guns are a completely different design than the original Auto Mag.
The trigger on my Wildey is not bad. DA could be better, but SA is not bad. The gun is actually fairly well balanced, but has a very fat grip.
No pics right now, sorry, but I will try and get some posted soon.
Any questions about any of the guns, just ask. Just remember, don't judge them by the standards of a service style auto, they aren't, and were never meant to be, no matter what they do in the movies!
And if all you can say is they are too big/heavy/cost too much/not practical, etc.
that's your opinion. Not mine.
