  How do the AMT .45s compare to the SA guns?  I've heard good things
about SA, but AMTs are all stainless.  I want a target/combat/comp gun
with good feeding and out of box accuracy.
  Have any of you used an AMT or know about them? 

  I've seen less than $400 deals advertised all over for dealer priced AMTs
in Shotgun News, but nothing about SA.


PS:  The AMT .40 S&W "Skipper" (like a matt stainless combat comander, 4.25")
is being sold for less than $300 now, for those interested.
