About the Gun

The AMT Automag II was one of the first semi-auto pistols chambered for the .22 Magnum cartridge. Its stainless slide has cutouts to reduce weight in support of its blowback operation. The unique barrel chamber design with holes and vents was intended to stabilize pressure, keeping the cartridge from expanding and sticking during extraction. Other features include a squared trigger guard and bottom mag release.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge pushes the limits of pressure possible with a rimfire case. Also referred to as the .22 WMR, the .22 Magnum was initially offered with 40 grain FMJ and JHP bullets at an advertised muzzle velocity of 2000 fps from a rifle barrel and 1550 fps from a pistol barrel. Due to the high supersonic velocity, .22 WMR cartridges are loaded with jacketed bullets. The various 30-40 grain JHP bullets are best for varmint hunting, but are overly destructive on small game.
