COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present the Holy Grail of modern semi-automatic handguns: an original first year production 1971-manufactured Auto Mag Model 180 chambered in the powerful .44 AMP caliber. Produced during the highly coveted initial "Pasadena" era, this pistol represents the absolute pinnacle of Auto Mag collecting, as Pasadena-marked frames were made for less than a year before bankruptcy, with under 3,000 units ever produced. Carrying the desirable low serial number A00472, this example stands as the 372nd production Auto Mag ever built due to Harry Sanford reserving the first 100 serial numbers. Crafted entirely from high-grade stainless steel, this space-age masterpiece features an early 7-inch ventilated-rib barrel measuring from bolt face to muzzle tip, a revolutionary rotating bolt with M16-style locking lugs, and crisp "AUTO MAG .44 AMP MODEL 180 PASADENA, CALIFORNIA PAT. PENDING" rollmarks.
This magnificent investment-grade package comes beautifully presented in a custom deluxe wooden display case featuring a glass viewing lid and a rich red velvet interior that perfectly showcases this historic hand cannon. The pistol comes equipped with an upgraded set of premium checkered hardwood target grips with rich figure and fit, alongside one original factory stainless steel single-stack magazine.
Preserved in super high condition, this Pasadena Auto Mag exhibits only minimal, light signs of careful handling and limited use across its satin stainless steel surfaces. Mechanically, the action functions with hand-fitted precision, smooth cycling, and tight lockup, while the 7-inch barrel retains a mirror-bright, pristine bore with sharp, razor-clean rifling lines.
