I don't know that I'd say they all were a total POS as the ones I owned worked well when used as directed. I have friends who have, or have had the Automag III and those work like a champ. In fact, that's probably their stellar gun. The Backups definitely had shortcomings and I've been told the 1911's were never good... The Automag itself wasn't really reliable. Too bad because many of their ideas had merit.
I guess it was gambling when ya bought one and I don't like doing that anymore.
One of the "problems" when AMT comes up is of course not every gun they made was junk. If they had been even back then, pre internet, they would not have lasted. What did happen is far too many of the guns they let out had Quality control issues. Of course anything can be fixed. Many new gun owners either don't know how or don't want to "fix" a new gun. Turn out enough bad ones and before long people will not buy what you make.
