44 AutoMag to kill Mick after Harry loses his Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver in a fist fight.
Clint Eastwood's character Harry Callahan uses his. 45 Winchester Magnum and AMT AutoMag V in. ĪMT (Arcadia Machine and Tool) manufactured several firearms under the AutoMag name, including the AMT AutoMag II in. This led to expensive manufacturing processes, and later guns from Pasadena were not fitted well, as there was a constant push to get the product delivered. The pistol was then rushed into production by a group that were not concerned with the pistol making a profit, but only that it got into production immediately. The design team was unable to convince Sanford, and they all resigned. The design team believed that even with the correct finished design, the wholesale price of the pistol had to be greatly increased or the company would go bankrupt. Additionally, the new design team was convinced the AutoMag pistol was not ready for production and could not be produced at a profit. Gera disagreed with Sanford about how the company should proceed and left the company. The design team, headed by Mark Lovendale, took the AutoMag pistol from a fully functional machined chrome-moly steel prototype designed by Max Gera to a more complicated and less reliable stainless steel pistol. AutoMag Corporation was short-lived for several reasons.
