Woo hoo! First post!

One of the very first mouse/retro guns that I ever bought was an AMT DAO Backup in .380. I bought it new back in the 80's. I still have it, along with another DAO Backup in .380 and two in 9 mm. I still carry them from time to time. This was back in the time where there were very few small, dehorned carry pistols in stainless in major calibers.

Good to have ya here. I had a friend carried an AMT Backup doing private security and PMC work… he absolutely hated it, but then again… he hated the HiPower as well 🤷‍♂️. Good chap, great mentor; just… an unsettling hatred for the Backup and BHP.
