The Automag III is a single action semi-automatic handgun, designed by Harry Sanford, creator of the first Automag. The Automag III does not actually fire a magnum cartridge, but is chambered for the .30 Carbine cartridge originally designed for the World War II era M1 carbine. Made of stainless steel and with an 8-round magazine, the large Automag III is the first successful self-loading handgun to be chambered for this cartridge. [1]
