The AMT Arms AutoMag II is a distinctive semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR), designed to bring the high velocity and flat trajectory of the .22 Magnum cartridge to a handgun platform. Manufactured by Arcadia Machine & Tool (AMT) beginning in the late 1980s, the pistol gained attention for its innovative design and stainless steel construction. Unlike many rimfire handguns chambered for .22 Long Rifle, the AutoMag II was engineered specifically to reliably cycle the more powerful .22 WMR cartridge through a delayed blowback operating system.
Constructed entirely from stainless steel, the AutoMag II offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear while providing a solid, durable feel. Most models feature a 6-inch barrel, adjustable rear sights, and textured grip panels for improved handling. The pistol is fed from a detachable single-stack magazine and is known for its sleek appearance, inspired by larger centerfire semi-automatic pistols.
The AutoMag II is appreciated by collectors and shooting enthusiasts for its unique chambering and historical significance. Its combination of accuracy, mild recoil, and impressive muzzle velocity makes it enjoyable for recreational target shooting and small game hunting where legally permitted. However, like many firearms chambered in .22 WMR, ammunition selection can influence reliability, with some loads performing better than others.
Although AMT is no longer in operation, the AutoMag II remains a sought-after firearm on the used market. Its innovative engineering, all-stainless construction, and connection to the AMT product line have earned it a lasting reputation as one of the most recognizable .22 Magnum semi-automatic pistols of its era.

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
