Simple question, why are hardballers so cheap? i thought they were supposed to be more durable then other guns of their class...

  AMT has been in and out of business, and used different names, for a long time. It's an investment cast pistol, and you can get forged ones pretty cheaply from other manufacturers.

  Because almost all of their firearms are crummy! I've seen lots of unhappy campers who've purchased AMT firearms.

  I had a cherry 380 Backup. The older style. Someone had WELDED the barrel to the frame, for a reason I can't fathom. They must have had a reason, though.
  
  Shot fine, almost never jammed, bought for $130, sold to LEO for $135, found out later it was worth $225.

  I've had a Hardballer, an early .380 Backup - welded barrel (loved that gun and want another - still have 2 of the finger rest mags), and a 6" barrelled .22 Magnum. I never had any trouble with any of them, and will eventually have them again.
