The AutoMag II uses chamber porting with a gas-assisted/delayed blowback action to manage .22 WMR pressures. The 6-inch stainless steel barrel is ported, and the long slide features an open-top design with relief windows.
Sighting gear includes a ramped front sight with a high-visibility insert and a fully adjustable rear sight with a white outline, an early-style setup common to initial production. Controls include a heel-type magazine release and a manual thumb safety with a red-dot position indicator, plus a firing pin/hammer block and an exposed spur hammer.
The pistol is full-size with an overall length of about 9.5 inches and a weight of about 33 ounces per the factory manual. Capacity is 9+1 with the single-stack magazine. The frame, slide, and barrel are stainless, and the grips are black ribbed polymer with AMT medallions.
Markings include "COVINA, CA" on the frame and "STAINLESS - MADE IN U.S.A. PAT. PENDING." on the slide. The AutoMag II was among the earliest commercially successful .22 WMR semi-automatic pistols, produced by AMT from 1987 to 1999 and later reintroduced by High Standard; the features present here align with the earlier style.
